Overwatch League’s San Francisco Shock is notorious for never underestimating their opponents. It’s that mentality that led them to a golden stage in Season 2<\/a> leading to victory in the Grand Finals against the Vancouver Titans.<\/p>\n However, In recent weeks it seemed Shock’s desire to constantly assert dominance was fading away with the decision to field main tank Matthew “Super” DeLisi as a DPS player<\/a>, in the Genji role, a hero touted as one of the most mechanically demanding in Overwatch. Of course, this was not the case.<\/p>\n With Super in the lineup, San Francisco swept Boston Uprising, one of the worst teams in OWL, with fans and analysts alike setting their minds on this disparity in quality as the reason Shock could afford to even pull this off. Yet, SF continued playing the 20-year-old in an off-role for a few more matches, even after signing Genji specialist Ta1yo<\/a>.<\/p>\n
