![]() While not the best, DDing is still able to play D.Va at a high level. DDing could play a whole variety of heroes and even flex into other roles, such as off-tank. If you happened to catch the Korean Contenders semifinals this past weekend, you’ll notice that he carried his team to victory on many of the maps including the first point of Lijiang Tower as Pharah.ĭDing opens up the fight with 2K and then cleans up. He is probably, at the moment, the best Pharah in Korean Contenders, probably at least top 5 in the world. And he has been performing exceptionally well. By being in one of the best teams in Korean Contenders right now, a lot of the attention is on their DPS. KDU ultimately got merged with KDP when its main roster moved to London Spitfire, and the roster remained relatively the same to this day.ĭDing has finally given a chance to be under the spotlight by playing in Overwatch Contenders. Although, it did house a few notable players like Daemin (Shanghai Dragons), Poise and Butcher (NRG Esports) and Panker (Gladiators Legion), KDU did not have a lot of success. He instead got picked up by Kongdoo Uncia, a sister team of Kongdoo Panthera that was viewed by many as the inferior of the two. ![]() He was left out when few members of wNv.KR members got recruited to Kongdoo Panthera before they were picked up London Spitfire. However, DDing was left out and was not able to get into any of the OWL teams. wNv.KR can credit its success to its strong lineup with players like Bdosin (London Spitfire) and Kalios (Boston Uprising), and Crusty (San Francisco Shock) as their coach. It was quite a successful team as it was able to beat formidable Chinese teams like LGD Gaming, which then had players like MG, uNdeAD and Altering from Shanghai Dragons. For two main reasons: his DPS superiority and his ability to flex into off-tank.”ĭDing made his Overwatch debut as part of wNv Teamwork, a Chinese based esports organization that recruited a group of Korean players to participate in both Korean and Chinese Overwatch tournaments. “DDing from Kongdoo Panthera probably has the highest chance of getting into the league. For two main reasons: his DPS superiority and his ability to flex into off-tank. Besides RunAway, DDing from Kongdoo Panthera probably has the highest chance of getting into the league. I originally wanted to pick one of the players from Runaway, but I legitimately believe the whole team is going to be picked up as a team for Season 2 (that’s a whole different story on its own). Jin-Hyeok “DDing” Yang – Kongdoo Panthera – Flex DPSĬhoosing one single player from the Korean Overwatch Contenders is extremely difficult because there are so many amazing talents. Here is why I think these 3 players are the best candidates for a promotion to the OWL:ġ. There’s simply no more room for one-tricks.” “The general theme for Season 2 pickups will be flexibility. Players like Bdosin and Hotba have shown that players that can play multiple heroes and roles at a high level could help teams adapt and Overwatch is slowly becoming a game of adaptation. Players that can play multiple heroes and multiple roles are becoming more valuable, and more frequently used. There’s simply no more room for one-tricks. The general theme for Season 2 pickups will be flexibility. ![]() While it is uncertain who will be picked up for Season 2, I personally believe that DDing from Kongdoo Panthera (Korea), Mangachu from XL2 Academy (North America) and rCk Team Gigantti (Europe) will be picked up for Season 2. If Blizzard were to achieve their goal of bringing 6 new teams, there will be at least 48 new players (8 players minimum per team) and up to 72 if all 6 teams decide to fill up the roster.Īnd team managers will be busy next few months eyeing Overwatch Contenders to recruit some of the best upcoming talents. Last week, Blizzard has made an announcement about two new additions, Guangzhou (China) and Atlanta (United States). Blizzard-Activision is rumored to sign up to 6 new teams for the upcoming season 2 of the Overwatch League. ![]()
