Although Seoul Dynasty lost both games this week against New York Excelsior on Wednesday and London Spitfire on Saturday, support player Ryujehong played a fantastic Zenyatta that helped keep the team at the top end of the standings ending in third place this week.

Seoul’s start of the week match against New York was considered the match of the week, as the two teams went head to head for nearly every point, ending with a 3-2 win for Excelsior. During that match, Ryojehong used one of his signature characters Zenyatta extremely effectively, getting kill after kill with precise use of his orbs.

More evidence is seen down below, as Ryujehong shows off his expert use of Zenyatta’s Orb Volley to kill three enemies including a flying Pharah, far off Zenyatta, and blinking Tracer in a span of a few seconds. If this guy doesn’t have the Orb of Discord achievement, then all hope is lost for everyone else.

Ryujehong’s consistency with support character like Zenyatta and Ana make him one of, if not the most standout player on Seoul Dynasty, a team that continues to fight to once again retake the throne of first place in the Overwatch League standings.

EQO – PHILADELPHIA FUSION – WIDOWMAKER

Eqo for the Philadelphia Fusion had a savage game as Widowmaker on Saturday against Dallas Fuel during this week of the Overwatch League, netting a victory over the team by 4-0. His most impressive stat by far is a whopping 19.8% critical hit accuracy, meaning almost one-fifth of the time he shot Widow’s gun it was hitting someone square in the head.

He also had 33 eliminations against only three deaths, with over 12,000 damage done overall.

He is incredibly good at flick shots with Widow, as can be seen below when he takes out the enemy Widow and Zenyatta in just a couple seconds. Eqo’s constant hit rate meant Fusion had an easier time holding points and payloads, ultimately giving them the win this week to put the team at fifth place in the overall standings.

Eqo also plays a pretty mean Roadhog, so here is a bonus and absolutely deadly hook during the start of the Lijiang Tower Control Center map, where he hooks Chipshajen on Dallas Fuel from a crazy angle.

If Eqo keeps up the performance we saw this week, we may see Fusion start to crawl in the rankings a bit.

SAEBYEOLBE – NEW YORK EXCELSIOR – TRACER

Saebyeolbe is one of, if not the best Tracer player in the league, likely why New York Excelsior has finished week four of stage two at the very top of the Overwatch League standings in first place.

He played exceptionally well at the start of the week against Seoul Dynasty, with round one on Hanamura starting off with a bang as he gets a double kill ending with a Pulse Bomb landing on Tobi as Ana.

After securing a win on Hanamura, Saebyeolbe continued the performance with kill after kill like down below where he lands yet another Pulse Bomb on a support while showing off his amazing duo blinking/tracking skills to take down the enemy Soldier.

He ended up getting 145 eliminations with a huge number of them being final blows at 62, showing he excels at pursing weak opponents and finishing the job. He also got over 46,000 damage done and 10 Pulse Bomb kills overall. If any other team is hoping to take top spot in the league as we go into the final week of stage two, they’re going to have to make sure they can take on Saebyeolbe and his amazing Tracer plays.

GAMSU – BOSTON UPRISING – WINSTON

This is the first time tank player Gamsu has made our list for best player performances in the Overwatch League, and he makes the top five in stage two week four due to his strong game against Los Angeles Valiant on Friday as Winston.

While Gamsu didn’t have many flashy plays, save for the one seen above when he drops gracefully down into a triple kill and below where he gets a double with his use of Primal Rage, he was a huge support for his team due to his constant ticking of damage that helped DPS players for Boston like DreamKazper and Striker get picks. He is very good at jumping in and out of battle without risking his own elimination while still dealing decent amounts of damage.

He ended the Friday match with a total of 133 eliminations, 14 being Primal Rage kills and 45 being Jump Pack kills. His ending damage done was nearly 37,000, a huge number that helped his team win against Los Angeles Valiant 3-2. Earlier in the week he performed strongly as Winston as well, getting 93 eliminations against 19 deaths and 25,000 damage done against Dallas Fuel.

PROFIT – LONDON SPITFIRE – TRACER

Profit for London Spitfire continues to be a force to be reckoned with on his signature hero Tracer, putting up some huge numbers this week, with the most impressive being his 50% Pulse Bomb attachment rate against San Fransisco Shock on Friday.

He is particularly good at targeting the healers not only with fire but his ult as well, as in the top video we see him attach to an ulting Mercy on a smooth throw and down below when he gets both supports with some help from teammate WooHyaL.

Some other impressive stats from this match also include his over 27,000 damage done with 71 eliminations against only 15 deaths. London Spitfire rests comfortably at spot number two on the Overwatch League standings, behind only Excelsior at the end of this week thanks to consistent DPS performance from Profit.

Make sure to check back next week where we will look at the best player performances for the final week of stage two.
