sorry this is just so fucking funny conceptually. like imagine you’re munchkin. you leave seoul because you’re not seeing eye to eye with the coaches. and you’re like, this is fine, i’m a good player, i’m definitely going to be able to find another owl team this offseason, because even stellar got a new team. but then offseason rolls around and the only team that actually gives you an offer is boston (presumably, because no one on earth would actively choose to play for boston over another team). and you don’t want to take the offer, because nobody wants to play for boston. but you do, because you don’t want to go to contenders, and at least on boston you’ll probably get traded somewhere better eventually. and you get to boston and start scrimming, and mccree is in the meta! mccree is one of your specialties! this is a perfect way to build your stock back up and get other teams interested in you! and mineral puts you on mei duty. you’re like, fine, okay, this sucks, but at least i’m playing, but your team is shit and you get rolled, but you kinda knew this was gonna happen so you’re not too worried. and then the justice homestand rolls around, and mineral decides to bench you for this jerry guy bc he wants to try out different lineups, which you think is stupid, because you’re definitely a better hitscan for him. but it’s fine. he’ll throw the match, and mineral will put you back on mccree, where you should be. it’ll all work out. and the match begins, and you watch in horror as your team fucks up so bad that you goes from 2-0 up to a close 3-2 victory in 7 fucking maps. that’s never happened before, ever. your team is so shit that you’ve made history. even worse, the crowd loves jerry. the broadcast loves jerry. the world loves jerry. no matter if he’s good or not, jerry is the one thing this team has going for it, and mineral knows it. your hopes of being traded vanish in an instant as you realize that you are about to be permabenched on boston fucking uprising. so, like any rational person would, you immediately buy out your contract and fuck off back to korea to smurf in contenders with some of your ex-owl buddies, which probably pays more than boston does anyway, because that’s just how the year is going for you
