There are a lot of great players in the Overwatch League. The circuit boasts a plethora of great players, and you can discover some outstanding talent on each of the League's teams - but there are a few that deserve particular attention! So, here's a list of the greatest Overwatch players, from (relative) newcomers to seasoned veterans who've seen it all: The top players in the Overwatch League!

1. DDing – Shanghai Dragons
Yang Jin-hyeok is a DPS player with the Shanghai Dragons, and he was responsible for making a few otherwise worthless characters viable in the GOATS meta back in the day. His amazing Pharah plays often won his side a victory by a hair's breadth, while his Sombra plays routinely disrupted the game's flow. Despite having a limited hero pool, he is extremely effective with the heroes he chooses, regardless of whether they match the meta or not. In the off-season of 2020, he departed the SD.
2. JJoNak – New York Excelsior
Sung-hyeon Bang is a support player, although this is a technicality since one of his most well-known skills is out-DPSing DPS players while playing Zenyatta. Normally, blending DPS with support does not function well; however, this is not the case with JJoNak. Despite having some of the top players in the Overwatch League on his squad, he has regularly surpassed some of his DPS colleagues with excellent aim and placement. The fact that he didn't leave his true support position in pursuit of kills just emphasizes how excellent he is.

3. Gamsu – Dallas Fuel
Noh Yeong-jin is a former Tank player with extensive experience in the Overwatch League and professional gaming in general. He played for Dignitas and Fnatic as a League of Legends player, and he spent a year with each of the three OWL clubs - Boston Uprising, Shanghai Dragons, and ultimately Dallas Fuel. Following his retirement, he said that he will return to playing League of Legends, and so OWL lost one of its greatest tanks.
4. Super – San Francisco Shock
Matthew DeLisi is a tank who is renowned for his aggressive Reinhardt performances. Since joining SF Shock in 2017, he has helped his team to some incredible accomplishments, including several Stage Playoff victories, their May Melee victory, their Countdown Cup victory... and, of course, their 2020 victory in the OWL Grand Finals, where Super and his team took home $1.5 million in prize money.

5. Ryujehong – Vancouver Titans
Jehong Ryu was a very talented flex support for the Vancouver Titans before becoming a content producer. For his amazing accuracy and large hero pool, he was well-known and feared. While Ana is his strongest character, he also excelled on Moira, Zenyatta, D.VA, and Zarya. He began his career with Seoul Dynasty before joining the Vancouver Titans, where he had a breakout season in 2019. His squad even won the inaugural Overwatch World Cup with him!
6. Saebyeolbe – Seoul Dynasty
Jong-ryeol Park is a DPS that specializes in hitscan heroes and is regarded as one of the greatest Tracer players in the world. He made his OWL debut with New York Excelsior before joining Seoul Dynasty. New York Excelsior achieved some incredible feats with him in their roster, including, of course, their Group Stage victory with a remarkable 34/6 match record.
7. Alarm – Philadelphia Fusion
Kyung-bo Kim was named the OWL's Rookie of the Year for the year 2020. He demonstrated his skills with various characters, including Ana, Zenyatta, Moira, Brigitte, and Baptiste, as flex support. Alarm progressed through Fusion University and assisted in leading his team to the Grand Finals weekend, despite the fact that they were ousted early on. He's still one of the OWL's top rookies and Overwatch players.
8. Profit – Seoul Dynasty
Park Joon-yeong began his career with the London Spitfires as a DPS player. It didn't go well, but when he moved to Seoul Dynasty in the third season, he truly had his opportunity to shine. He's made some famous plays, and his team made it all the way to the Grand Finals, where they fell just short against the San Francisco Shock. Despite his team's loss in the Grand Finals, Profit was voted the MVP. Profit set a new record in the 2020 season by being the first player to accumulate 10,000 eliminations.
9. LIP – Shanghai Dragons
Jae-won Lee represents the Shanghai Dragons as a DPS. He has a large hero pool, often playing Sombra, McCree, Hanzo, Ashe, and Reaper. SD has been a member of the squad for more than two seasons, and he's seen several amazing wins, like the 2020 CountDown Cup, 2020 Group Stage, and the 2021 Nexus competition.

10. ArK – Washington Justice
Hong Yeon-joon has been a part of two successful Overwatch teams: the New York Excelsior for two seasons and the Washington Justice for one. He and his squad won the first OWL season as part of the NYE lineup, as well as many Stage matchups before that. It's unusual to see a Mercy main character perform as well as he does, but his versatility with supporting characters like her, Baptiste, Lucio, Brigitte, and Ana has earned him a place on our list.
