Forget the All-Stars, here’s what the Overwatch League’s 2019 dream team looks like
Are the San Francisco Shock a dream team unto themselves? By Noah Niederhoffer May 16 at 12:01 PM With the first two stages of the Overwatch League’s second season in the books, the esports league breaks for its All-Star Game Thursday night. That contest will feature some of the world’s best Overwatch players, but what about the best of the best?
Super’s career trajectory has surpassed his assumed potential and he still seems to be getting better. With his stage final performances, he has also proven that he can deliver under pressure, especially against the only other contender one should consider for the best midseason main tank, [Vancouver’s] Sang-beom “Bumper” Park.”
It’s rare in esports to have two teams have seemingly all the best players on their teams, but it’s also rare that two teams are so clearly head and shoulders above the rest. We have to point to players from both of those teams in “Haksal” and “Rascal.” Other contenders either didn’t reach their level or didn’t play enough to warrant consideration. While both of them put on a master class, “Haksal” shines brighter on DPS heroes.
Lonnquist: Obviously, when it comes to teams that impressed, you need to put [San Francisco] Shock on the top of that list. We’ve got teams that can be more explosive at times, but no other team can match the Shock in pure consistency of results. I doubt we’ll ever see another golden stage.Heinisch: I hypothesized that Overwatch League season 2 might be something we look back on fondly in the following years and that we might even be entering the golden age of Overwatch.
The Houston Outlaws were on the edge of playoffs last year but slipped heavily in 2019, seemingly unable to make roster moves due to their parent company’s [OpTic Gaming] financial decisions and without the coaching to improve.
