Son “OGE” Minseok stepped all over the Dallas Fuel.

The Los Angeles Gladiators tank star literally used his feet to stand on his old Dallas Fuel jersey for a picture. That photo went to Twitter with the caption “Sorry @DallasFuel fans. I just want to talk about what I need to do. ”

OGE and the Gladiators (2-2) swept the Fuel (0-3) on Saturday, 3-0. They could be the best team at running this week’s hero pool meta, which has featured the unlikely Torbjorn pick thus far. That, and the Fuel still had mistakes to clean up as they suffered their 15th consecutive loss dating back to June 13, 2019.

“Maybe it was because it was our first match in a while, maybe it was some nerves or maybe it was just some miscommunication stuff, but it’s something we are going to go back and address,” Fuel head coach Aaron “Aero” Atkins said in a call after the match. “We already know we made mistakes in the moment so hopefully we can transition into tomorrow where we don’t make those kinds of mistakes.”

The Fuel, who have made it known that they wanted to play their own style no matter what the meta enhanced, ran a Reaper and a Doomfist into the Gladiators’ Torbjorn and Reaper.

Dallas’ composition had some success, especially in the first two maps of the match, but Los Angeles had the answer every time. That often meant Dallas tank player Noh “Gamsu” Youngjin was put on an island.

“If we are playing Reaper and Doom into Reaper and Torb, our Reinhardt is going to have to play differently,” Aero said. “Their goal is to bully the Rein and ours is not that. It would look like Gamsu is getting pushed around and not doing much but that’s his job. He was doing his job by taking all the attention while we capitalize on things elsewhere.”

Aero added that the Fuel had success playing their composition into the same heroes the Gladiators ran during practice over the past week. When things went right for the Fuel on Saturday, it was because of quick, aggressive plays with calculated timing. The Gladiators won every other fight the Fuel didn’t execute as such.

“We definitely got good value out of the comp and played to our strengths with our picks. We were able to get picks and blow up their Rein when we could,” Fuel tank player Lucas “NotE” Meissner said. “But for the things that went wrong, I think we may have played too slow or passive with not using ults. There were still a lot of on-stage mistakes that could be fixed pretty easily.”

The Fuel never swapped up their composition but that might not mean their demise of their opponent on Sunday, the Los Angeles Valiant, run the same lineup that the Gladiators did. NotE suggested the Gladiators may be the best at this week’s meta.

“I think the Gladiators are by far the best team to run that comp so far,” NotE said. “I think all the other teams have been lesser copies. We did find success playing our comp against that comp but it had things to do other than the comp, like the team playing it and how it was run.”

The two Reinhardt players had different roles, but that doesn’t mean OGE didn’t still dominate the matchup. He was able to get more value out of his ultimates than Gamsu. NotE, who played alongside Gamsu on the Fuel in 2019, said OGE doesn’t fall for tricks.

“He’s just a really smart player. You really can’t do the same things over and over against him,” NotE said. “He’s figured it out almost right away after the first time it happens. He’s a super intelligent player and it takes a lot to play around that. You have to make something new each time.”

OGE, who was traded by the Fuel to the Gladiators for Jang “Decay” Gui-un on Oct. 19, 2019, may have taken a shot at his former team on Twitter after a win, but it was all in good fun, NotE said. Fuel players have kept in touch with OGE and NotE said his former teammate has always been respectful.

That doesn’t mean the Fuel don’t still need a win, though. The Valiant (2-3) have proven they can defeat top competition, and an 0-4 hole to start the season would keep the Fuel as the only winless team in OWL.
