From the earliest moments of the Overwatch League, it was always clear which team every fan had their eye on. Whether it was their rooting interest or just as a potential rival, everyone wanted to know about the Seoul Dynasty. HND: So, really, everything for Seoul Dynasty and KSV as a whole was built around the idea of strong player and coaches first and then building everything else up from there? HND: So, similar to the challenges you see for the Overwatch League, for it to grow and become a s

Korean Overwatch player Kim “Geguri” Se-yeon is joining the Shanghai Dragons and will become the first female pro player in the Overwatch League, according to a report from Rod Breslau via ESPN, citing sources. This report comes shortly after Korea’s most famous female player stated that she had signed with a “foreign” team on her stream earlier this week.

Michael Chu, the lead writer for Overwatch, stepped in to clarify something about D.Va’s past. Chu writes:It’s a common misconception, but https://t.co/Ds3qQyRwN6 wasn’t a StarCraft pro before joining MEKA. We thought it’d be fun to use the StarCraft WCS site and slip D.Va in as she had a background as a pro gamer (this all happened before she was officially announced). D.Va is absolutely a world champion professional gamer which was what got her recruited into MEKA in the first place. However h

At the end of a week full of upsets, the Overwatch League standings are far closer than anyone would have expected. In the league’s third week it seemed that any team could win at any time as all three previously unbeaten teams were taken down. In just the second match of the week the Shanghai Dragons — widely considered to be the league’s worst team at the moment — took a map off of the Korean juggernauts Seoul Dynasty. While this map seemed shocking at the time, it turned out to be just a prev

While we don’t have a release date, we do know that the next hero will be “very needed”. Moira, our last hero, was also considered a “very needed” hero, as we hadn’t had a new support character since Ana, and the healer meta was considered one of the most stagnant and in need of new blood. Now that we know the new hero will likely fill a similar void in the roster, we can start rampantly speculating. Right now, the tank roster feels very healthy, but Blizzard could surprise us. What if we saw a

They were heading to the Overwatch League opening week as well, and they wanted to cheer for Houston in style.

Yesterday’s patch brought two much anticipated additions to the game: the new map, Blizzard World, and the core cosmetics update. Mercy’s nerfs post-rework have been a controversial topic, and this most recent round of nerfs have been considered overkill by Mercy fans. Higher tier players and Overwatch League aficionados, however, have claimed these changes will lead to a healthier support ecosystem.
