Hey guys!
Welcome back to Top 10 Gaming, I’m Ron McKenzie-Lefurgey.
With the Overwatch League finally begun, fans around the world are tuning in to watch their
favourite players in action.
But as with anything, some players are better than others.
It should be pointed out that there’s a good amount of subjectivity involved, and
that it’s super early in the season, so this list will be mostly based on play prior
to the start of the league.
Stay tuned later in the year for an updated list!

But before you do that, get ready, it’s time for the Top 10 Overwatch League Players!
Oh – by the way, I’m sure I’ll totally butcher half these names.
I’m doing my best, don’t hate me.
Number 10: Gong “Miro” Jin Hyuk.
Miro is the King of Winston, known for his incredibly tank play since the game was released.
He led his team Lunatic-Hai to become the number one ranked Overwatch team in the world,
and there’s absolutely no doubt that this 21 year old will be an important player for
years to come.
He now plays for the Seoul Dynasty, and is a heck of a player.
Number 9: Timo “Taimou” Kettunen.
Taimou is an excellent aggressive player, whose Widowmaker and McCree play is insane.
Currently playing for the Dallas Fuel, this 24-year-old from Finland has made a few mistakes
in the past, but my goodness is he good at this game.
It should be pointed out that there have been some allegations against Taimou that he had
cheated.
As of now, this hasn’t been proven, so I’ll give him benefit of the doubt.
But Taimou, if you cheat… shame on you.
Number 8: André “iddqd” Dahlström.
IDDQD is widely seen as one of the best McCree players out there, and for good reason.
The guy’s got wicked aim.
This Swede is currently playing for the San Francisco Shock, and at 26 he’s basically
ancient among pro Overwatch players.
He’s got some great aiming tutorials on YouTube as well if you’re looking to up
your game.
Number 7: Lane “Surefour” Roberts.
Surefour is the talented Canadian player currently playing for the Los Angeles Gladiators.
He was actually the first player to reach 80 skill rating in competitive play, with
incredible Tracer and McCree play.
Like Taimou, Surefour has been accused of cheating, but again it hasn’t been confirmed
so he’s innocent until proven guilty in my books.
Plus, he’s Canadian.
If he had cheated, he would have apologized by now.
Number 6: Kim “Geguri” Se-yeon.
I know I might take a bit of flak for putting Geguri on this list, but dammit she’s been
screwed over so much that she needs one win.
Even if it is just from some random dude on YouTube.
The 17 year old first came onto the scene when she was accused of aim-botting.
People pointed to her insane stats and crazy precision to say that she must be cheating,
and she was attacked really hard.
But then she played a game in test conditions and it turned out it was all skill!
She’s so good she looks like a hacker.
But the worst part is that when the league was created, not one damn team recruited her.
I’m not one to say that teams should have a minimum number of females, but the fact
that this incredibly talented person was overlooked, not to mention the complete lack of women
in the league, is a little lame.
So yeah, this kinda breaks the rules of the question since she isn’t in the league,
but… she should be.
Number 5: Kevyn “TviQ” Lindström.
TviQ is a Swedish player, currently playing for the Florida Mayhem.
He’s super versatile, able to play pretty much any role at a very high level.
Coming from such a strong TF2 background, it’s no surprise that he’d be well-suited
for kicking butt in Overwatch.
With absurd hitscan ability, he’s definitely one to watch.
Number 4: Terence "SoOn" Tarlier.
SoOn is a high-calibur Tracer player, which makes me happy because Terence Tarlier the
Tracer is some sweet alliteration.
Widely considered the best Tracer player in the world, this Frenchman led his team Rogue
to achieve an unprecedented winning streak.
Playing for the Los Angeles Valiant in the League, there’s little doubt that he’ll
be a force on the team.
Number 3: Hwang “Fl0w3R” Yeon Oh.
This was a pretty easy decision, the only difficulty coming from the fact that he’s
currently inactive on the New York Excelsior.
Fl0w3R still incredible even with the wrist injury, and before it he was a pretty unstoppable
force.
He’s only 17 so he’s underage for the league right now, but it’s hard to deny
that the guy has a hell of a lot of skill.
His DPS is excellent, and he’s incredibly well-rounded.
Number 2: Jay “Sinatraa” Won.
Barely squeaking into the League with a birthday a month before the cutoff date, Sinatraa is
the highest paid pro player in Overwatch.
And the guy deserves it.
He finished rank 1 in North America in Season 3, thanks to his wicked Tracer play, and earned
a spot on the San Francisco Shock in the League.
He just needs to stop the “Hi” spam.
And the other toxic stuff.
But other than that he’s great!
Number 1: Ryu “Ryujehong” Je Hong.
Yeah, my secret is just to say it really quickly so it’s harder to tell how terribly it’s
pronounced.
While his nickname may not be the most imaginative, Ryujehong is certainly not lacking in creativity.
It takes a heck of a lot of skill to stand out as a support player, but Ryu makes it
look both effortless and pretty awesome.
This 26 year old is currently playing for the Seoul Dynasty, and his insane Ana play
makes him an incredibly easy entry to this list.
That’s it for today!
