Geguri's D.Va Has Her Supports Covered In This Overwatch Match

There's been a lot of talk since rumors began and were confirmed about Kim "Geguri" Se-yeon entering the Overwatch League through the ranks of the Shanghai Dragons. So what's the big deal? Well, Geguri is known as one of the best Zarya players in the world and is a versatile tank player. That doesn't just mean soaking up damage and sending back as she shows in the power play below.

In the clip, Geguri (playing D.Va) is holding the front lines on the Eichenwalde map against an attacking team when she takes note of a Tracer coming in the side door. As Tracer blinks through the frontline, almost instantly Geguri turns to head for her team's support and throws up a Defense Matrix on Zenyatta just as Tracer targets him with her bomb ultimate. It saves his live and thwarts Tracer entirely as they lay into her with combined fire.

Of course, in addition to the damage and displacement of enemies, it's the job of any Overwatch Tank worth their salt to look after the squishier members of their own team and peel attention of enemies away from them, and to the untrained eye, it might look like Geguri just did something anyone would do. That said, when the play is broken down second by second, the nuance becomes apparent in spotting Tracer, anticipating the blinks towards Zenyatta, and being there with D.Va to lay down defense for Zen and punishment on Tracer, all in the blink of an eye. That level of map, team, and enemy awareness, as well as the mechanical reflexes involved in counterplay against it is no doubt what the Shanghai Dragons will be looking for as Geguri joins their ranks and finds her place in the Overwatch League.
