Smurf returns to OWCS with Disguised
DSG's September 28 announcements add the championship tank alongside Ryan and alex.
Three additions, confirmed by DSG
Disguised announced Ryan and alex on September 28, then confirmed smurf later that day. Ryan joins as a flex damage player and alex as a substitute according to the team's post. The additions arrive ahead of North America's October 10 Stage 3 start.
Smurf brings a championship history that includes San Francisco Shock's Overwatch League titles and Team Falcons' 2024 success. The current move is a return to OWCS competition, not a retroactive claim that his past teams and DSG share the same lineup or playstyle.
Experience and integration both matter
A veteran tank can bring useful decision-making, but a new roster still has to establish shared timings and role expectations. The valuable early evidence will be how DSG initiates fights, follows its tank and changes plans between maps. A trophy count cannot replace that work.
The contemporary roster report lists Tred, PGE, Scyle and KiWii alongside the incoming players, with McGravy and Zei coaching. Selections can vary, so a signing graphic should not be read as a fixed starting five. Smurf's return supplies a veteran option on tank while Ryan and substitute alex give DSG additional damage-line choices. The new stage will test how those options fit together under match pressure.
