Shanghai Dragon's Geguri Has Strong Performance in Debut
By Nicholas Barth ·
Making her debut in the Overwatch League against the Dallas Fuel, Kim "Geguri" Se-yeon showed off some impressive D.Va play.
The first day of matches for Stage 3 for the Overwatch League saw history being made as the Shanghai Dragon's Kim "Geguri" Se-yeon made her debut as the league's first female player and the Dragon's newest flex tank . Shanghai battled against the Dallas Fuel in a four game series that saw the Shanghia Dragon's continue their winless streak, as they were handed a 3-1 loss from the Dallas Fuel. However, Geguri had a very strong performance in the match as the well known Zarya player utilized her skills with D.Va and Orisa throughout each map.

Showing off why Shanghai had brought her to the team, Geguri outperformed Brandon "Seagull" Larned of the Dallas Fuel on Illios with 16 eliminations, 6,601 damage blocked, 5,730 damage done and three final blows. Unfortunately, Geguri's performance was not enough to propel the Dragons to a map victory as Dallas was able to secure the 2-0 win on Illios. This resulted in the Fuel securing the guaranteed match victory with the score at 3-0.

Geguri was able to put up another strong performance with D.Va on Junkertown by collecting 22 eliminations in addition to holding the payload strongly with Orisa in Shanghai's attack round. These areas of Geguri's game were two of the driving forces that led the Dragon's to their lone map victory of the match and prevented the Dallas Fuel from collecting a shutout.
Even though her team was not able to secure a victory to begin Stage 3, Geguri confirmed what many already believed and that is her talented tank play with the likes of D.Va, Zarya and Orisa will be an extremely valuable asset in helping the 0-21 Dragons improve on what has been a very rough start to their inaugural season in the Overwatch League.
