Full Summary of Gambler's Stream (Translated)

I received permission from a Dynasty fan to translate her very detailed summary of Gambler's stream.



1. Gambler is now a streamer under contract with Gen.G (they made the offer first, they're looking to deepen their streamer pool), so still with Gen.G

2. Switched up streaming equipment while on break.

3. Left teamhouse at the beginning of August, and has been at home since

4. Did receive offers to trade to another team.

5. This is his second retirement but it feels different.

6. Honestly could have stayed on as a pro player, but the most important factor was that he lost interest in Overwatch as a game. He felt his personality was one where he would not grow as a player without genuine enjoyment and interest in the game, and thought this wasn't good for either himself or the team. He wanted to do something he really liked.

7. Is not in ill health at all.

8. Received permission from the team to talk about Dynasty affairs on stream, but will not do so.

9. Left the team in good spirits, it was not a bad parting, they're all still in touch.

10. He does have to check in with the company, but the HQ is too far from home (40 mins - 1 hour by car), he only has to go there once a month but they said he could do as he pleases.

11. All the Dynasty players are busy right now.

12. He was kidding when he talked about Fissure to Seoul, but one day he woke up and it had actually happened. He also had no idea about Coach Changg, and felt that Seoul is really tight-lipped about this kind of thing. There was little talk of new staff or team changes up till his departure.

13. Will still sometimes play Overwatch.

14. Wanted to stream and talk about his decision before the official announcement came out but he woke up this morning and found the announcement already out. So this is kind of an emergency stream.

15. Typically will be streaming 3 PM KST for about 5 hours but still TBD.

16. The problem is he's been streaming only Overwatch stuff til now so he doesn't know what kind of content to stream. This might become 5 hours of IRL.

17. Horror game might mean that the first stream becomes the last stream.

18. The story behind jehong's time on main tank: "He wanted to do it. So we let him. Honestly he's not mechanically as high level as Kuki or Miro. He only got one or two Primal Rage kills in scrims at the beginning. He was an ordinary Winston, but he worked out for the team."

19. How does it feel to be an ordinary person now? "Oh it doesn't feel real yet and, that's it."

20. Nothing particularly tough while in OWL. Personally he just had to perform well in game.

21. Was a short time with the team but went through a lot emotionally.

22. Why did Munchkin play Sombra and Fleta play Tracer? "I remember that time, we had heard Sombra was totally OP after the patch so we thought that was the right answer during scrims. But then in the matches it was... Munbra and Flacer." (Note: KR fans thought they sucked on those heroes so now Munbra and Flacer are essentially shorthand for Not Good.)

23. "Overwatch isn't fun anymore..."

24. Generally everyone is in on the shotcalling, but it centers on himself and Jehong.

25. Thought a lot after they missed the last playoffs, not during OWL but when it was all done. When they knew they had no chances of playoffs, they all packed and played Warcraft together.

26. Donation asks: Do you think Overwatch became not fun because you lost so much?

Gambler: That might be about 1% of the truth?

27. Gambler was scouted and given an offer by Head Coach Paek.

28. When asked "do you plan to go pro again?" Gambler replies "is there a game that I'm good enough at to go pro?"

29. As soon as he made his decision to quit pro, Mercy got nerfed and supports got patched.

30. Had the best in-game chemistry with Miro. Gambler is a player who plays well when he can joke around a bit, and he always had fun with Miro. It was funniest when Miro was kind of at a loss. He's also exactly the same whether against strong teams or weak teams. Miro seems to have evolved to become a funny human being. He's funny even just when he breathes, he should honestly be a streamer. He's designed to be hilarious, Gambler is kind of jealous of that.

31.Gambler's Subscribe badge: doesn't understand why people don't like it.

32. Most memorable game in OWL was the Stage 3 game against Houston.

33. Does want to do Youtube videos but not upload full VODs. Will probably edit them but has no video editor and cannot edit himself. Cannot afford one right now. Doesn't have a clear theme for streaming right now either.

34. Has not sworn off Overwatch, will play once or twice a year.

35. Has not played Busan map yet.

36. The SCUM game that jehong was playing yesterday seems a bit much. Same for Getting Over It.

37. Fleta is not fun.

38. Will definitely join Seoul again if he went back in time and could decide again. He just had a great time with the team, regardless of win/loss.

39. Treated some dental problems at the dentist's for about a month, came to about $7000. Other people go abroad with the money they made in OWL but Gambler used it all on dental work. He doesn't really care what other people do with their money but sometimes he can't understand it. So sometimes he gives Munchkin a hard time about things he buys, to which Munchkin usually responds "this isn't even that expensive."

40. It's enjoyable to watch Overwatch matches. Problem is he can't do VOD reviews of OWL matches.

41. Munchkin drives Gambler nuts because Munchkin goes on a diet once a month, but then in the evening he's eating something again. And then if he gets questioned about it he'll say "I'll start tomorrow." He'll be good looking if he loses some weight but he won't. There aren't a lot of good looking people in Dynasty except for Fleta.

42. Coach KDG seems to have an eye for the game. Seoul feels different right now.

43. Being a progamer has nothing to do with IQ. You just have to be good at the game.

44. The player who practices the most is Xepher. His practice time is insane. He's an Overwatch Monster. Gambler wishes he would play something else.

45. Samsik (his cat) has gone to the bathroom.

46. Showing Samsik on camera. Samsik is good at going to the bathroom, eating snacks, and scratching. (Samsik appears to be a Russian Blue)

47. When it came to quitting pro, he talked to his own self the most about it.

48. To people aspiring to be OW pros: OWL is amazing. You can travel abroad for free and get fans for playing games.

49. Dynasty's players were given a little less freedom because they weren't getting the results they wanted.

50. Each team had a waiting area with snack bars, ramen, etc, and Gambler once saw Seagull in there and he looked so nice like a teddy bear.

51. Cannot game without snacks. So he brings lots of snacks from the waiting area. He thinks he might not eat meals properly because he snacks so much. He doesn't like candy but he likes Toreta (a soft drink).

52. He can't hear the cheers too much from the stage but he does hear it when there's a superplay.

53. Life in the teamhouse was all good. There were people that he liked to bully and tease a lot. Miro was everyone's victim, and Munchkin was fun too. Different reactions each time.

54. Coach Hocury donates ~$100 telling Gambler that he worked hard and that he hopes the best for Gambler in the future.

55. End stream.
