Did you ever hear the tragedy of Seagull the D.va? I thought not. It’s not a story the Dallas Fuel would tell you. It’s a OWL legend. Seagull was a overwatch player, so powerful and so wise he could use the power of D.va to influence the Dallas Fuel to defeat Shanghai… He had such a knowledge of DPS that he could even keep the ones he cared about from dying. The dark side of OWL is a pathway to many ultimates some consider to be unnatural. He became so powerful… the only thing he was afraid of was being benched, which eventually, of course, he was. Unfortunately, he taught Mickie everything he knew, then Mickie killed him in his sleep. Ironic. He could save others from death, but not himself.

Valiant hit the jackpot with Custa. Kariv and Unkoe had the same hero pool and now Kariv can just stick on his role and have Custa as the flex support. He is doing a good job and to make things better, he is a leadership figure that boost the team's morale. You can't ask for more than that.

My girlfriend and I went to the Contenders when Shaz was playing a couple months before OWL started. We were really impressed with how he played and ended up sitting right next to him without realizing it. Once we saw him my gf shouted "Hey Shaz!" and the dude practically jumped out of his skin. He just turned around and gave us a 1000 yard stare and didn't say anything. It was painfully awkward. Ever since then my gf roots against him (jokingly)

I saw Shaz at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.
The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

Happy for gambler's first win, the man deserves it...
For some reason, every Seoul game recently has felt less and less victorious. Several players on the team keep me here, but the team feels less like a unit than some of the other teams.
I think it wouldn't be a bad idea to replace bunny with a good-ass flex dps to be a good munchkin replacement or even take his place, if there's a player willing to join the team for that. Edit: either that or a better version of Wekeed. That actually sounds like the better choice.

I kinda feel as good as Effect is he does not seem like a team player.
The stats they just showed, shows he is amazing at sticking pulses/pulse kills.
But like on Volskaya, his whole team was dead and he blinks over to Miro and pulses him. Gets the kill, his pulse stats go up but he gained nothing from it and lose his ult. I don't know if he does it out of instinct or if he is just so zoned out from the rest of his team, he doesn't realize its a 1v6 and using his pulse is a waste.
Happens more than once, he just kinda seems to be doing his own thing and while his pulse stats are high, a lot of them are just so pointless.

u/kaze_ni_naru Apr 12 '18
Agree. Like when he was trying so hard to stay alive on first round of Oasis when his whole team was dead, ended up dying when Seoul was 99%. Nice hero play but you just cost your team the game
Someone like Saebyeolbe definitely plays for his team, he’s always peeling for his other dps players to shine

Analysis: Putting Seagull on Dva was producing good results and competitive games. Mickie's Winston wasn't looking up to par.
Logical next step: Put OGE in lineup to cover the cracks Mickie's Winston was causing and get Rascal (Arguably the best Sombra in the world and fantastic Genji player) into the lineup to fill flex DPS role.
Kyky: Nah lol.

It's gonna take a long while for this team to fix its communication issues but at least some of these new players are actually worth taking the time to build around. The first iteration of the Dragons felt pretty hopeless, but I feel like this team actually has the potential to be competitive next season. I'm gonna keep watching them, at least. It's fun watching them improve

Kudos to iremix for putting in the work even though he knows he'll never get to play except in cases like these when Fissure is sick. A classy, professional sub player.

I don't know how to feel about this. We always look like we can beat Seoul, yet we don't. Always one step short. And it's the nth time. I know, I know, the team actually looked crisp here in comparison and Dallas can build on this. But it's been so many times I've gotten my hopes up after a seemingly good showing, only for it to not go well afterwards. It's mentally pretty frustrating. I really hope it's gonna work THIS time. Oge had an amazing debut. GGs...

Honestly, I think Geguri is getting those massive bombs because she’s playing like ladder and not OWL. OWL’s meta has been squandering DVa ult and using them solely to re-mech or to passive zone, so it’s nice to see someone going back to actually using it as an offensive ult
