He answered that he \u201cwould be\u201d. When asked about the team he would be a part of during the tournament, Seagull\u2019 laconically answered that \u201cwe\u2019ll see\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Seagull used to be a part of the NRG team<\/strong>. Back in April, he left the team with the aim of focusing on its streaming career and personal brand building. The Overwatch pro announced that he was <strong>struggling with maintaining the balance between streaming and professional play<\/strong> and added that he no longer wanted to disappoint his fanbase by offering inconsistent streaming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Currently, Seagull is among the undisputed Twitch stars. His streams attract around 10,000 at a time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, <strong>he has not completely given up on competitive play<\/strong>. Despite stepping down from the NRG roster, he remained a substitute player. He also streams under the NRG banner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The tease about a possible return to the Overwatch League came as no surprise, though. His unexpected departure from the competitive gaming created a lot of rumors and one of them was that he may return for the first season of the Overwatch League.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is important to note that the NRG is one of the confirmed teams for the Overwatch League event. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realgear.net\/major-investors-acquire-six-overwatch-league-spots\/\">As reported by RealGear, <\/a>Andy Miller, the NRG co-founder, will be in charge of the San Francisco slot. In this regard, there is a chance for Seagull to re-join his former NRG teammates for the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prior to joining NRG, Seagull played for Classic Mixup at Insomnia52, Luminosity Gaming and Not Enigma organizations. Before becoming an Overwatch pro, he was mainly known as a Team Fortress 2&nbsp;player.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The most popular American Overwatch player, Brandon \u201cSeagull\u201d Larned, hinted at the possibility of taking part in the upcoming Overwatch League tournament.
