Shanghai Dragons On The Rise, Jeff Kaplan Busts Overwatch Myth & Eqo Gets Suspended | Akshon Recap

The Shanghai Dragons may not have beaten the Dallas Fuel last night, but it was clear that with the additions of Geguri, Fearless and ADO the team has the right tools to begin their campaign to escape the bottom of the rankings.

After analyzing their latest match, Daemin and Sky fell short, but their issues stem more so from decision making and communication than mechanics. The Dragons have a decent offensive lineup as seen in the great dives with Genji and Winston but will now need to work on improving their Defenses.

After showing off his ring last week and once again on yesterday's stream, it seems that EFFECT has been engaged to his girlfriend Senika.

Eqo has been suspended by the Philadelphia Fusion for a racially insensitive gesture on stream which while had no ill intent was enough to warrant a punishment by his team and the Overwatch League for violating the Player Code of Conduct.

He has since apologized and given an explanation how the gesture came about jokingly while praising Korean players in the Overwatch League and expressing how much he respected their skills.

Overwatch Lead Developer Jeff Kaplan revealed that leaving a game at the Victory or Defeat screen doesn't queue you up for the next match any faster.

According to Jeff Kaplan Rialto, the new map coming in the Overwatch Retribution event this week will become a permanent addition in the form of the game's next Payload map with a daylight theme once it is finished undergoing testing on the PTR.

The Overwatch League features the best players in the world, including Dallas Fuel's Taimou, EFFECT, Seagull, NYXL’s Saebyeolbe, JjoNak, Libero, Seoul Dynasty's Ryujehong, Miro, London Spitfire's Birdring, Rascal, Profit, among others.
