Dallas Fuel’s ‘RUSH’ named Overwatch League coach of the year - The Dallas Morning News

Yun “RUSH” Hee-Won was the guy the Dallas Fuel (11-5) had to have as their next head coach. Now he’s the Overwatch League coach of the year.

Fuel general manager Mat “TazMo” Taylor and assistant coach Kim “Yong” Yong-Jin met for a beer after a lackluster 2020 season, needing a coach to rebuild around. Yun was the main target from the beginning.

His resume spoke for itself. Yun’s Element Mystic teams were crafty and dominant in the Contenders League, and his OWL head coaching debut with the Paris Eternal in 2020 resulted in a playoff berth.

Yun got his crew of players in Dallas for the season, but was still thrown a curveball when hitscan specialist Jung “Xzi” Ki-hyo had to take a step back from esports competition a week before the season began. The Dallas Fuel, which play their first playoff match against the Washington Justice Tuesday at 6 p.m., were limited to only flex-DPS compositions.

Yun got the most out of the Fuel roster during the regular season, leading Dallas to a May Melee championship — the first tournament championship in franchise history. Not only was it the Fuel’s first winning season, but Dallas is also primed for a serious playoff run.

The Fuel strive for perfection, and know their expectations are often realistic. But that’s also why they are successful.

“(The coaching staff) always see the flaws that they wish could be fixed. There’s always that part that they’re a little ashamed of. They’re always striving for perfection,” Fuel assistant coach Go “Aid” Joon said via interpreter. “So I feel like maybe the change that we need is for the players to have that kind of mindset as well, for them to be a little greedier actually, for that perfection that we want.”

The Fuel have a championship within their grasp, and Yun can lead them.
