You can catch all the action on the Overwatch Contenders YouTube channel. Head Coach of the Dallas Fuel Yun ' RUSH' Hee-won had assembled a roster of his now scattered victorious season 5 championship roster around superstars Kwon ' Fielder' Joon and Han ' ChiYo' Hyeon-seok, as well as Atlanta Reign's Lee ' LIP' Jae-won.Ĭurrently undefeated in their group with a score of 3-0, the South Koreans are close to clinching Main Event qualification for the final stages of the competition, which will again be held at BlizzCon in the Anaheim Convention Center later this year.
