When did you start playing this game?

I started playing Overwatch during its open beta test. I will never forget the first time I played it.

How much have you played this game?

I would estimate around 400 to 700 hours.

Why will you never forget the first time you played Overwatch?

Because at that time, everyone was a newbie. No one understood the game maps and they didn’t know how to move. So when someone used their ultimate skill, many people died at once.

4 consecutive kills, 5 consecutive kills, 6 consecutive kills…

After I became proficient in this game, it was still fun, of course. But the experience of playing with other newbies was the best moment in my entire gaming life. It is really valuable because that moment can never be recreated.

Are you good at this game?

I achieved Diamond rank on the korean server.

Which hero did you prefer to play?

I preferred to play support or tank hero, similar to League of Legends. This is the hero list that I prefered to play.

Roadhog

Just like LoL, I really love playing the “Grab” hero. I will never forget the feeling when I grabbed Tracer or Zenyatta and killed them with a single headshot.

D.Va

I think the only reason was maybe she is a Korean hero.

Winston

To make Electronic Genji Fry

My most favorite supporter hero. Ana has not only powerful healing ability, but also dealing and utility skills. I won the sniper battle against Widowmaker. Super saves with Nano Boost and anti-carry plays with Sleep Dart were also very fun.

Are there moments that you remember while playing Overwatch?

Yes, because Overwatch is FPS game, I remember my super plays during the game.

6 consecutive kills by D.Va’s Self-Destruct skill on the Ruins map of Ilios

Winning a sniper battle aginst Widowmaker using Ana on Kings Row at the first pint.

Hitting a Sleep Dart on a nano-boosted Gengi at Watchpoint: Gibraltar’s second checkpoint.

Hitting a Sleep Dart on D.Va in pilot state, who was falling from the ceiling of Gibraltar’s second checkpoint. I perfectly predicted the falling speed.

I also remember the time when I participated in a high school festival game tournament as a representative of my department. Because I was Diamond rank, I could join the second grade web-programming department team. We won games overwhelmingly and advanced to the final match. However, our team lost againt the third grade team. After the game, I heared that the opponent team played the game in a PC room with great desktops, while our team played the game on laptops in school. I was a bit disappointed because the two enviroments were totally different and seemed a little unfair.
