7 of the World's Best Overwatch Pro Players of 2017
Overwatch made by Blizzard is still a new FPS esports game, but make no mistake at this young age Overwatch has succeeded in spawning many talented young players who are very popular and well-known, such as Seagull, DSPStanky, and MoonMoon who are famous for their activeness as a steamer.
Great Seagull using Genji or Pharah, DSPStanky one of the world’s best Lucio players or the very entertaining MoonMoon.
