The only female player in the Overwatch League faced off against a player from a new team, the well-known Twitch streamer Dafran. The result: One of the best hitscan players simply cannot hit the female player.
What happened? The player Kim “Geguri” Se-yeon encountered the player and streamer Daniel “Dafran” Francesca in an Overwatch match:
- Geguri played one of the heroes she is particularly known for: D.Va
- while Dafran was using Widowmaker.
After Geguri destroyed her mech with her ultimate, she tried to survive as “Baby D.Va” – with a hilarious outcome.
Dafran did not land a lethal shot on Geguri, who only taunted him by dodging and waving. Instead of directly getting back into her mech, she mocked Dafran for a while.
She only calls for a new vehicle when a teammate of Dafran approaches, allowing her to eventually escape.
The only female player meets a top hitscan player
Who are Geguri and Dafran? Geguri is a player of the Overwatch League team Shanghai Dragons and was invited to the first season of the Overwatch League as the only female player in the league.
The Shanghai Dragons did not win a single one of their matches in the first season of the Overwatch League. Although many of the players and especially Geguri are highly regarded in the community, the many losses have somewhat tarnished the players’ reputation.
On the other hand, Dafran is considered one of the best players overall when it comes to aiming and pursuing objectives. He is so good that he is often accused of hacking.
Dafran was signed for the second season of the Overwatch League as a player for Atlanta Reign. The team, which also features the German Steven Rosenberger, is often predicted to have a good start to the league.
Why is this so interesting? Since Dafran is regarded as such a good player, many fans were surprised that he could not hit Geguri. Even more impressive was that Geguri even played with him and mocked him instead of actually fighting back.
The scene has raised the question of whether Geguri is significantly better than expected, or whether Dafran had an off day. Especially after the discussion about the fictional player “Ellie”, the community is reacting with heated discussions about Geguri.
With an eye on the Shanghai Dragons and Atlanta Reign, the conversations have also grown louder. Many fans see the scene as a promise of great matches to come in the second season of the Overwatch League.
Community discusses vigorously: In a thread on reddit, the video is hotly debated. The discussion mainly revolves around the skill level of Geguri and Dafran. The biggest debate centers on Dafran’s reaction.
Some fans criticize that he did not try hard enough. Others argue that “Baby D.Va” is simply too small a target and even the best pros often miss.
However, the fact that he stays still instead of following with his crosshairs shows Dafran’s lack of experience. It is safer to wait until the target comes into view rather than chase such a small target.
However, the reactions of both players are mainly praised. Dafran is not angry, but amused and takes it lightly instead of being upset. Geguri has shown that she is truly a good player and not just hired because of her gender.
The fans are already looking forward to the second season of the league. Are you excited about it, or do you find the video more entertaining?
