Gegury is a 17yr old South Korean girl, currently ranked eighth in the world. She's been whooping their arses consistently and they threatened to leave, if she was found to not be cheating. She then went onto S Korean state TV and proved her skill was genuine, so they ended up quiting.

Yea, a clear case of compounding their embarrassment.

Her play is great, just the way she manages tricky situations is mind-blowing. I wonder what games she played before this.

Poor kid having to go through that type of harassment. She definitely got skills, and i guess i shouldn't be surprised there is a competitive overwatch scene in south korea.

Good for them for going through with their stupid wager, I guess?

Good for her. It's probably an incredibly shitty thing to go through to have your skills questioned so vehemently. I just hope something really good for her will come of it, like her being noticed and maybe picked up by a pro team to hone her skills.

The rule of internet gaming is that there is ALWAYS someone better than you. Also that is some absolutely devastating Zarya play.

@theht: I don't know why, but this comment reads as very funny to me. Had me giggling for some reason. Also, yeah. Fuck those dudes.

P.S. You might get a notification that I flagged your comment, even though I removed it. I'm on Ipad and I misclicked. Sorry.

Lol vidya games srs bsns. Why can't people just have fun, even in the professional circuit?

She's got skills, for sure. That Zarya play is the best I've seen so far.

yeah. as much as i'd like to be really, really good at a game (or anything, for that matter), i feel it's kinda sad how the whole pro gamer attitude can basically permeate games from top to bottom. so if you're not exhibiting MLG level strats at a supposedly casual level then you've screwed up.

that said, i'm glad these idiots had to make good on their promise and quit, and good for her for not backing down under such harassment.

Fun to watch and the team make up is so different than what I find in my low level games. No Toblerones or Bastions on those escort/capture two points missions. I assume the players are too good at destroying the turret classes but man do I struggle against them.

Man, I have no idea what is even happening when watching her play! I don't play Overwatch for starters, and it's all in Korean, and it's on PC so the camera movement is all over the place. And for what little I played in the beta I never tried Zyra, which thusly confounds my confusement an additional skosh!

It's great that she was able to formally confirm her legit skills and make the accusers eat the sweetest of crow.
