Yo dawg, I heard you liked eSports so I put an eSports gamer in your eSports game so a Pro Gamer can play as a Pro Gamer.

That’s basically what’s happening as the newest Overwatch hero is revealed to be Hana “D.Va” Song from South Korea.

As of right now we don’t know what her abilities will be in the game, but the StarCraft 2 WCS website does have some information on her bio:

At the age of 16, D.Va became the #1 ranked player in the world and proceeded to go undefeated for the next three years in all competitions. D.Va is an international star, beloved by her fans at home and abroad, and has toured in exhibitions around the world. Recently, she has taken a step back from competition to focus on her commitment to protect the safety of her homeland.

Evidently MEKA is the name of her team and the race she plays is random. Considering she went undefeated for 3 years it must definitely means she has some sort of crazy hand eye coordination going on. I’m curious to see how her abilities will translate into the game, but it’s likely that she is some kind of pilot for a mech type warrior (I mean, come on, her team name is MEKA and she’s basically wearing a plug suit).
