Things are heating up at the Overwatch League with Seoul Dynasty taking the lead with four victories. The Dallas Fuels once again suffered a sweep loss against the Houston Outlaws, and one of their players is suspended for inappropriate comments.
The League is in the middle of stage 1's second week. The Seoul Dynasty continues to dominate with three consecutive 4 to 0 victories. The Dynasty recently defeated the Boston Uprising four to nothing. The number 1 team's next opponent will be the team ranked dead last with four defeats, the Shanghai Dragons.
Sunday's matches will determine if the London Spitfire or the New York Excelsior will give Dynasty a run for its money. Both teams are still undefeated and are targeting for their fourth victory.
The Dallas Fuels had a rough second week with two consecutive defeats against the Outlaws and Spitfire. Fuels player Felix "xQc" Lengyel was suspended for four matches and is being fined $2,000 for his unnecessary and rude tirades against Austin "Muma" Wilmot of the Outlaws. According to the League, Lengyel "violated the Overwatch League Code of Conduct during his individual stream on Thursday evening."
Lengyel snapped after Wilmot uttered his famous line "rolled and smoked" during the match. Lengyel who heard Wilmot's words answered with some derogatory remarks, thus leading to his suspension and fine.
Lengyel quickly issued an apology to Wilmot via Twitter. Player xQc tweeted, "I didn't say what I said on stream with malicious intent, I legit did not compute the whole thing before. I speak too fast, everything happens too fast. Hope I can turn this into something good, sorry @Muma."
Wilmot did not respond to Lengyel's apology, but he did address the issue even before Lengyel's apology. "I'm just a boy tryna play some video games. It's cool being one of the only LGBT players in the league and I hope I can inspire and encourage some people to be true to themselves," he tweeted. The well-recognized tank player ended his statement with "With that said, I don't want it to define me as a person. I'm just playin' some tank, dudes."
