PROFIT – LONDON SPITFIRE – TRACER

Recommended Videos

Profit of the London Spitfire team played fantastically as Tracer this week, helping secure a win against not only the Shanghai Dragons but the once League leaders Seoul Dynasty as well. After the wins this week, London Spitfire is now at the top of the standings with seven wins against only one loss.

Profit is definitely one to thank for the success of London Spitfire this week. On Saturday against the Dragons he got a total of 39 eliminations as Tracer against just seven deaths, but the most impressive stat was his percentage of pulse bomb attachment at a whopping 50%. Just see below how he uses some sneaky methods to go behind the choke and land a double kill on the enemy McCree and Zenyatta.

Profit got player of the game on Saturday, with credit to his ability to interject himself into the enemy line and get picks while successfully escaping back to his team afterwards. Profit has some of the best technical skills in the Overwatch League, and will be one to watch as London Spitfire attempts to hold the crowns as the season progresses.

DREAMKAZPER – BOSTON UPRISING – PHARAH

So far in the season, Boston Uprising DPS player Dreamkazper has been flying somewhat under the radar in comparison to his teammates Striker and Gamsu who have played consistently well. However this week, he player fantastically as Pharah during the Saturday match again Los Angeles Valiant with clutch play after clutch play.

He makes shooting an enemy Pharmercy out of the sky look easy, at one point killing the flying enemy Pharah not once but twice in under five seconds.

On Saturday he finished off the match with almost 24,000 damage and 3,600 rocket barrage damage alone as Pharah. Total eliminations came out to 46 against only 12 deaths. The crucial part of his success during this match was how often he was able to successfully land multiple kills with his ultimate.

He also had some memorable plays as Genji this week, like on Friday against Los Angeles Gladiators with this Dragon Blade to kill both healers seamlessly seen below.

Dramkazper really broke out this week and proved he’s a DPS force to be reckoned with.

FELTA – SEOUL DYNASTY – WIDOWMAKER/PHARAH

Fleta for Seoul Dynasty continued to perform at the high standards he is known for, pulling off some great plays as Widowmaker and Pharah specifically during the matches against both London Spitfire and Houston Outlaws this week.

Players like Fleta make the League extremely fun to watch; due to his high level of technical skills, he can pull off insane plays full of spectacle like down below against the Outlaws when he kills four enemy players as Widowmaker while rolling off a roof in the beginning area of Junkertown.

Earlier in the same match he was extremely successfully at keeping the points on Ilios with his masterful use of Pharah and her barrage. His game sense in his decision of the best time to ult through the window while also being aware Tobi as Mercy is there to support him and rez if it does go wrong, shows he is one of the best players in the League right now.

Against London Spitfire he also showed off his Pharah chops, and despite the loss, he kept up respectable numbers due to his skill in landing direct hits as seen below where he almost single-handedly takes out four enemy players.

Fleta continues to be a powerhouse in the Overwatch League, and as Seoul Dynasty attempts to retake the throne after ending up in third in the standings at the end of this week, he will likely play a big role in the games against Los Angeles Valiant and San Francisco Shock in week five.

ZUNBA – SEOUL DYNASTY – D.VA

Tank player Zunba for Seoul Dynasty played his role amazingly against Houston Outlaws when Dynasty came out with a close win at 3-2. Getting Player of the Match, he showed off some huge numbers in terms of both defensive and offensive gameplay with D.Va especially, although he also played very well as Zarya during the moments in Lijiang Tower when he used her.

Zunba’s greatest skill is his management of his many abilities as D.Va. See below as he not only body blocks a rip-tire from Jake as Junkrat, but perfectly times his defense matrix and rocket abilities to finish him off in close-quarters when Jake should have had the upper hand in that 1v1.

In all, Zunba seems to know the role of a tank inside and out and is somehow able to get nearly 70,000 damage blocked against 120 eliminations overall as D.Va, insane numbers that helped Dynasty secure their one win this week against the Outlaws.

MekO – NEW YORK EXCELSIOR – D.Va/ROADHOG

With New York Excelsior now in second place in the standings at the end of this week right behind London Spitfire, they turn to consistent players like MekO to try and take the top spot.

MekO was exceptionally good in the match against Dallas Fuel this week while playing both Roadhog and D.Va. As D.Va he blocked and dealt over 30,000 damage with a total of 93 eliminations.

In the match against Dallas, he had the most eliminations and final blows on his team, which got him Player of the Match. MekO also made our list during week two, when he once again played amazingly as Roadhog and D.Va but this time against Los Angeles Valiant.

Make sure to check back next week when we look at the best players for the final week of stage one, or look back at the best player performances for week one, week two, and week three.
