For three years, Eoghan “Smex” O’Neill had worked for this moment. He’d spent countless hours grinding up Overwatch’s ranked leaderboard. He trained at the academy level with Team NRG. He had moved four times, leaving his family’s home in London for the U.S., all with the aim to crack the pro ranks of the Overwatch League. In the late Fall of 2019, he reached his goal, signing a contract on his birthday to play for the Paris Eternal.
