The Overwatch League is filled to the brim with talented players. The circuit has an incredibly gifted player count, and you can find some exceptional talent on every team that’s part of the esport – but there are some deserving of a special mention! So here’s the list of the best Overwatch players – everyone from (relative) newbies to the seasoned veterans that have seen it all: The best Overwatch players!
DDing
Yang Jin-hyeok is a DPS player for Shanghai Dragons – and he single-handedly managed to make a few otherwise useless characters playable in the GOATS meta, way back when. His incredible Pharah plays often earned his team a win by the skin of their teeth, and his Sombra plays regularly changed the game’s flow. For a player with a relatively small hero pool, he is still incredibly successful at his chosen ones, whether they fit the meta or not. He left the SD in the 2020 off-season.
JJoNak
While Sung-Hyeon Bang is a support player, this is a bit of a technicality – one of the things he’s most known for is out-DPSing the DPS players while using Zenyatta. Usually blurring DPS and support doesn’t work well – not for JJoNak. With fantastic aim and positioning, he has consistently outperformed some of his DPS teammates, despite playing with some of the best players in the Overwatch League on his team. That he didn’t abandon his actual support role in search of kills just further underlines how good he is.

Gesture
Jae-hee “Gesture” Hong has consistently been one of the best main tank players in the Overwatch League. He currently plays for Seoul Dynasty and specializes at Winston, Orisa, and Reinhardt.
Gesture has been on the competitive scene since 2017 when he won APC Premier 2017 and APEX Season 4 playing for GC Busan. In 2018, he won the Inaugural Season Playoffs at Overwatch League and won 1.1 million dollars playing for London Spitfire.
His most recent competition was lost to the dominant SF Shock in 2020, where Seoul Dynasty walked away with $750,000 in the Overwatch League Grand Finals in second place.
Profit
Joon-Yeong “Profit” Park is a flex DPS player currently playing for the Seoul Dynasty. He is known for his insane Tracer gameplay, as well as his mastery of almost every DPS hero. In September 2020, he became the first player to reach 10,000 eliminations in the Overwatch League.
Profit’s career started when he won the APAC Premier 2017 and Overwatch APEX Season 4 alongside Gesture, playing for GC Busan. Since then, he’s been playing for the London Spitfire and won the Overwatch League Inaugural Season Playoffs, but came in 2nd to SF Shock in 2020.

Throughout his career, he was able to bring back first-place wins to his native South Korea in both the 2016 and 2017 World Cups. Ryujehong recently competed for the Vancouver Titans and is now a content creator for Gen.G esports.
