there’s no doubt about it this has been
a rough first year for the overwatch
League welcome to watchmojo.com and
today we’re counting down our picks for
the top ten overwatch League
controversies before we begin we publish
new content every day so be sure to
subscribe to our Channel and ring the
bell to get notified about our latest
videos for this list we’re looking some
of the most troubling stories that have
come out since the overwatch League was
launched I apologize in advance for
butchering the following names number 10
taeyong taeyong camp Houston outlaws we
love memes as much as the next person
but some things are just not in good
taste in early February of 2018 Houston
outlaws head coach Taeyang Tehran Kim
tweeted a meme that made a somewhat
insensitive joke about the bombings of
Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War
two before the overwatch league had a
chance to react
Kim issued an apology on Twitter and
donated a thousand dollars to the
hiroshima peace culture foundation the
overwatch league noted this and decided
to let him off with a formal warning
there’s a lesson to be learned here kids
maybe don’t make fun of people who
perished in a nuclear fire number 9
Major League Baseball logo battle when
it comes to these magical world of
copyright patents and trademarks things
can get dicey real fast however we
didn’t think that the major league
baseball organization expected any
backlash from overwatch fans when the
logo for the overwatch league was
revealed in July of 2017 many fans saw
where the inspiration had come from the
MLB took note of this too and the public
quickly became aware that the baseball
franchise had the ability to file a
lawsuit on accounts of trademark
infringement needless to say the fans
were furious and yet MLB was silent
missing their window to file the case
was it because of the massive backlash
from overwatch fans that’s probably it
number 8 bang undead chow Shanghai
dragons one of these struggles of being
a professional gamer is keeping your
career and your personal life separate
of course this is easier to do if you’ve
got nothing to hide
as for Fang undead chow of the Shanghai
Dragons this was not possible in March
of 2018
Chow came under allegations of harmful
behavior against women in previous
relationships the rumors became such an
issue that Chow retreated to China and
by the end of the month the Shanghai
dragons officially released him from the
roster Chow later published a letter
meant for one of the women he hurt and
on April 3rd 2018 he joined Chinese team
Lyngen eSports and
the name Hypnose number-7 Chen you for
Kong Shan Shanghai dragons the players
might be the faces of the overwatch
league but there are a lot of people
that manage the teams behind the scenes
however often instead of toxic behavior
the problems here lie in manipulation in
January of 2018 it was discovered that
the coach of the Shanghai dragons Chen
Yu for Kong Shan had been sharing his
account with other players Blizzard does
not take this stuff lightly and it shows
in the $6,000 fine Kong Shan received
another $3,000 was tacked on for Kong
Shang improperly communicating to other
players rather than with their managers
two months later Kong Shan stepped down
but the reasons behind that were never
made fully clear it could have been
those rumors about his harsh practice
sessions though number 6 Teemo time ooh
catenin Dallas fuel we shouldn’t have to
say this but don’t be a dick online
there is such a thing as playing nice
and if you’re doing this for a job well
you might screw up your job this is not
the first in Dallas fuels trouble with
their pro gamers demonstrating toxic
behavior though while in the middle of a
stream Teemo time ooh kitten and uttered
a homophobic slur against an enemy
player stupid kid he quickly began to
dismiss his remark as accidentally toxic
the story really took off though when
ESPN picked it up pointing out that
blizzard has been silent on the issue
despite the league’s code of conduct tae
Moo ultimately apologized and was issued
a $1,000 fine
number 5 del Sol a eqo Corona
Philadelphia fusions again I apologize
for screwing up any names anyway it’s
all fun and games until you make an
incredibly racist joke and they don’t
realize it until the backlash storms in
while in the middle of a public stream
eqo slanted his eyes and said I’m Korean
yeah good move buddy after receiving a
hefty amount of negative feedback
Philadelphia fusion suspended Corona for
three games and issued a fine of $2,000
additionally his streaming privileges
were revoked until June 17th 2018 unlike
some of the other players on this list
Corona didn’t just issue an apology he
also donated $3,000 to the
anti-defamation league and they’re no
place for hate campaign number 4 Phenix
xqc launches Dallas fuel the last thing
the Dallas fuel needed was more toxic
teammates so it’s a bit puzzling as to
why Phenix excuse Elon shield wasn’t
terminated after his first offense the
tank player had been causing trouble
throughout the season resulting in
expensive and lengthy penalties in
January of 2018 he was suspended for
making a homophobic remark against
Austin Mumma Wilmont of the Houston
outlaws two months later he called over
watch league casters cancer in an
aggressive tweet which she later deleted
with his troublesome behavior outside of
the league he was fined four thousand
dollars and issued a four match
suspension
he was eventually released by the Dallas
fuel on March 11th 2018 number three
min-suk o GE son Dallas fuel hmm
Dallas fuel has a couple of issues hey
when OGE son was signed to the team it
was actually to replace Felix excuse
Elon Jill so to have your newly signed
replacement player get caught for
another scandalous bit of activity
that’s kind of embarrassing
in late March 2018 o GE was caught for a
count boosting where an individual
player is paid to increase the rank of
another player’s profile the overwatch
league suspended OGE for four games
including a match that was supposed to
occur hours after the news broke he
wasn’t allowed to play again until April
11 2018 number two Maxwell Bateman San
Francisco shocked it wasn’t long after
the overwatch League was formed that the
behavior of those involved quickly
became a concern in November of 2017
San Francisco shock came under fire when
twitch streamer crystallin accused their
team manager maxwell fate minh of sexual
assault allegedly the two had met in
September when Bateman gave her a spiked
drink it wasn’t long until Andy Miller
co-owner of shocks parent company and
Archie eSports announced that Bateman
was probably fired citing their
zero-tolerance policy
Bateman denied the allegations in his
own statement number one Jonathan
Dreamcast birth Sanchez Boston uprising
this is the most recent and probably the
most disgusting on April 8 2018
screenshots surfaced showing the Boston
uprising player text messaging a minor
on top of that the two had been
exchanging nude images of each other at
first Boston uprising had only placed
Sanchez under indefinite suspension but
the situation quickly became worse after
a second young lady also underaged made
similar allegations which led to the
swift termination of Sanchez’s contract
exchange those jerseys while you can
