Byung-Sun &#8216;Fleta&#8217; Kim almost looks bored while he sniped Florida Mayhem into oblivion, and Seok-woo &#8216;Wekeed&#8217; Choi continued to impress with his agile Genji.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Kim &#8216;zunba&#8217; Joon-Hyeok comfortably held off the Boston Uprising and pulled off a few devastating kill-streaks, and flex player Moon &#8220;Gido&#8221; Gi-do finally got some time off the bench to prove his worth and show off his versatile Zenyatta play.<\/p>\n<p>The common question floating around the Overwatch community whether the Dynasty can actually be toppled &#8211; our answer is we have to wait and see. Other than opening day nerves against Dallas Fuel in Week 1, where they lost just one game, Dynasty has only played against the lower-half of the OWL team line-up so far.<\/p>\n<p>However, it&#8217;s safe to say Dynasty will have their first real challenge in the equally dominant New York Excelsior this weekend, which we&#8217;re predicting will be the match of the week.<\/p>\n<p>But as amazing as NYXL&#8217;s De-Hyeon &#8216;Pine&#8217; Kim is, it&#8217;s hard to see the stronger starting team surrounding Fleta, their deep roster and wide range of talent with various heroes beaten.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rank movement<\/strong>: None<\/p>\n<h2>2.

His McCree and Widowmaker is pretty much NYXL&#8217;s ultimate weapon to unleash whenever they need to create panic for an early lead, and he is quickly being the core of the team despite his limited play-time, if not already.<\/p>\n<p>Support player Bang &#8216;JJoNak&#8217; Sung-hyeon thoroughly convinced us this week that Zenyatta is being played wrong everywhere else (except on the Gladiators), dishing out some incredible damage output that easily rivals his DPS team-mates. If there&#8217;s any support player across the top three to watch in particular for future upset potential, it&#8217;s him.<\/p>\n<p>With others like Park &#8216;Saebyolbe&#8217; Jong-ryeol consistently shutting out enemy Tracers and Genjis or Tae-hong &#8216;Meko&#8217; Kim putting up some well-timed D.Va plays, NYXL have easily outdone the Spitfire&#8217;s messier performance in Week 2.<\/p>\n<p>They&#8217;ve got the next match against Philadelphia Fusion in the bag for certain, but it&#8217;s their second match against Seoul Dynasty which have us immensely excited; we&#8217;ll finally get our first chance to see which all-Korean roster will truly reign supreme in the OWL.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rank movement<\/strong>: +1<\/p>\n<h2>3.

He guaranteed a comfortable lead which Dallas Fuel never came back from with some killer DPS plays alongside Kim &#8216;birdring&#8217; Ji-Hyeok, who swapped up his Tracer for some breath-taking Widowmaker clutch against a much more persistent Valiant-led dive comp.<\/p>\n<p>Jae-hee &#8216;Gesture&#8217; Hong continues to distinguish himself as one of the League&#8217;s most versatile tanks and our most promising pick on Spitfire, masterfully distracting players with Winston to give Profit all the time in the world to dive and wreak havoc successfully.<\/p>\n<p>It was their hard-fought performance against Valiant that almost made us think the Spitfire were over-confident, but their diverse roster continues to stand out as the most consistent and talented pool of players in the League, one that can actually rival the Dynasty when they <em>finally<\/em> meet up in Week 4.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rank movement<\/strong>: -1<\/p>\n<h2>4.

Jake is easily the best Junkrat on defence, plaguing Dallas all the way through while staying alive and playing smart rather than aggro.<\/p>\n<p>But it was Linkzr&#8217;s uncanny sharpshooting as Widow and his ten kill-streak on Fuel&#8217;s Tracers which got us standing up and shouting all the way through (despite us losing our money on Fuel).<\/p>\n<p>Along with tank player Austin &#8220;Muma&#8221; Wilmot on Roadhog who was excellent with his chaining, Houston&#8217;s defence strategies were vastly improved from their opening week performance.
