Many underperforming teams are dropping players left and right during the Overwatch League offseason, but the hits just keep coming for the Boston Uprising.  After releasing four players earlier this month, the team announced on Oct. 15 that it would be parting ways with off-tank Yun “GaeBullSsi” Young-sun before the 2022 season begins.   GaeBullSsi, a former member of Boston’s Overwatch Contenders team Uprising Academy, was signed right before the 2021 Overwatch League season began in April.  A noted off-tank talent from the Contenders scene, he stepped up to play the

Liquid will take on Virtus.pro on Saturday

Broadcasting that you want to play a team because you think they might be an easier matchup for you is a risky maneuver that can either psych out or fire up your opponent. Beastcoast fell victim to the latter after selecting to play Alliance over Team Aster in the best-of-one round of The International 10’s lower bracket today.  Right from the start, Alliance came out firing, getting an early pick on K1’s Sven well before he became a threat and then rolled over beastcoast for a solid 25 minutes, surviving

Defending champions DAMWON KIA kicked off the 2021 World Championship group stage with a statement win against FunPlus Phoenix, the LPL frontrunner in their group. The South Korean team ended the game in under 30 minutes to match the high expectations that weigh on their shoulders. DWG KIA seemed to have a very specific game plan against FPX coming into this match, giving Yuumi to support BeryL paired with mid laner ShowMaker’s LeBlanc to roam around the map and seek kills. Although Yuumi’s priority has progressively risen after the latest

Their backs were against the wall from day one, but after two sound defeats at the hands of Team Aster, Thunder Predator is the first team eliminated from Dota 2’s The International 10 with a 0-7 record on day three.  TP was one of South America’s best Dota 2 teams all year, but it looked like the Peruvian squad was losing steam as the 2021 Dota Pro Circuit dragged on. Well, we gave our best. Thank you everyone for supporting us even today. It's hard for our boys, they still
