<<Click here to go back to #50-#41<< 40: Jin-hyeok “DDing” Yang – Shanghai Dragons DDing’s Pharah and Sombra play was undoubtedly one of the driving forces that led the Shanghai Dragons to the Stage Three Title. Shaking up the established GOATS meta, the Dragons’ triple-DPS lineup was nigh-unbeatable, bolstered by the constant damage and…
<<Click here to go back to #40-#31<< 30: Jun-woo “Void” Kang – Shanghai Dragons Shanghai had a problem finding a solid off-tank last year, but they seemed to have finally found the perfect fit to fill that void. Long providing consistency for the Gladiators, Void will hopefully reinvigorate the Dragons tank line this season.…
<<Click here to go back to #30-#21<< 20: Jin-seo “Shu” Kim – Guangzhou Charge Shu was an early contender for Rookie of the Year due to his amazing plays on Ana and Zenyatta and was an integral part of the Guangzhou Charge in their early-season success. He was quickly able to adapt to performing…
<<Click here to go back to #20-#11<< 10: Jooseok “Twilight” Lee – Vancouver Titans If there’s any flex support who can live up to the legacy that JJoNak set in 2018, it’s Twilight. Mechanically impeccable and frustratingly difficult for his opponents to kill, Twilight’s biggest strength is his spectacular game sense and his ability…
Thanks to Overwatch League, a lot of new people have been watching Overwatch esports, which is awesome. These new people have been treated to a wide variety of strange metas, varying from Dive to GOATs to Barrier spam. Some might think that the meta has always been like this at the pro level. Not so…
For the Washington Justice DPS line, most will remain the same. Corey “Corey” Nigra has been resigned, to no one’s surprise, and Ethan “Stratus” Yankel is returning as well on a two year contract. The only change to the Justice’s DPS line going into 2020 will be the replacement of Gihyeon “Ado” Chon with Seven’s…

The Overwatch League is winding down, and the long off-season awaits ahead. This means that many long time viewers quickly need to find some other media to jump into. One of the best options for those in need of a new fix would have to be the longtime classic tabletop RPG: Dungeons and Dragons, also…
No matter what the current state of Overwatch ranked may be, there’s at least one thing Blizzard Entertainment consistently delivers on: seasonal events. This fall will likely be no exception, as the Overwatch Halloween Terror event is likely right around the corner. However, one common complaint from the community has always been the repetitiveness of…
Coming back from a 2-3 deficit, the Atlanta Homestand weekend was a surprisingly dominant showing for the Guangzhou Charge. They defeated the Shanghai Dragons after a rough loss the week prior, and stomped the Washington Justice. Between the two days of festivities I had the opportunity to sit down and talk to two players; Day…
Did anyone expect Dallas to beat NYXL? No. Did anyone expect Timo “Taimou” Kettunen to return and win two maps against one of the best teams in the league? Also no. The Return of DPS Even though Dallas lost that game, it showed hope for the team. Zachary “ZachaREEE” Lombardo was previously in Brigitte jail,…

Ilios Houston Outlaws 2 – 0 Florida Mayhem This Ilios round was indicative of this series as a whole, where one team ran 3-3 and the other ran a DPS composition, the latter would always come out on top. Where there was a mirror it was a close and scrappy affair. On the Ruins stage…
Los Angeles Gladiators (10-5) vs Dallas Fuel (9-6) Gladiators 3-0 Fuel The Los Angeles Gladiators are looking to start off their Stage 3 campaign with a win over the Dallas Fuel. Lane “Surefour” Roberts was the first one to walk through the tunnel as he returned to the starting lineup for the Gladiators. The main tank…
Guangzhou Charge 3 – Chengdu Hunters 1 Many of the fans going into this match believed that the Chengdu Hunters would easily take this game. Chengdu won the last time, and are higher in the rankings. Yet Guangzhou came into this rematch with far more experience and a burning fire underneath them. The Guangzhou Charge…
With the 2019 All-Star festivities completed, the second season of the Overwatch League is halfway done.

Now, as the off-season progresses, some changes will be coming into the roster. The Charge,…
London Spitfire (5-4) vs Atlanta Reign (4-5) Spitfire 4-0 Reign The London Spitfire came out for their second game of the week against the Atlanta Reign. They started their lineup as they did in their previous game. Most notably, Ji-hyeok “birdring” Kim remained in the starting lineup over new addition Hee-dong “Guard” Lee. Birdring played…
Gladiators 3-1 Dragons The Los Angeles Gladiators came into this match with a strange lineup compared to other weeks. All three of their DPS players, Lane “Surefour” Roberts, Gui-un “Decay” Jang and João Pedro “Hydration” Goes Telles, started the match. This left Chang-hoon “rOar” Gye as the only tank, while the Support duo of Benjamin…
