![]() While it ultimately won’t matter, having a talented player like Ameng learn to play Reinhardt on the same level as his Wrecking Ball means the front line of this team becomes scarier each week. That said, led by Ameng’s mass improvement in Reinhardt play, the team looked capable on it near the end of the stage. They often looked both unable and unwilling to play to the GOATS meta. They were the innovators of the league this stage. Without consistent star-like performances from more than just the DPS players, the team simply doesn’t have what it takes to beat the Excelsior. With their first match against the New York Excelsior, the Dragons will have to be content with a Stage Playoff appearance. Will that stop them from making it further? We’ll have to see.īarely eeking their way into playoffs with a fairly easy last game, the Dragons are looking just a tad weaker than the last stage. While it will most likely result in not much more than that, the team has to be feeling proud of the achievement. Speaking of surprise turn arounds, the Outlaws! A team that, just a stage before, had one of the most disappointing performances has made playoffs off of some of the best Sombra play the league has ever seen. They’re hungry for wins, and they might just get it. While they have a long road ahead of them, the team is committed to making this postseason run more than just luck. New pickups and a refreshed roster featuring the return of a favorite Australian player means the team was able to make Los Angeles proud. The only team to take a win off of the Vancouver Titans, the Valiant are no longer the same team they were. While a stage win is looking unlikely, a few lucky maps could result in at least a finals appearance. His replacement, Min-seo “Marve1” Hwang, has grown into the role, leading the team into a very Lunatic Hai looking stage, doing extremely well and looking poised to do damage in the playoffs. With the Fissure-defined period of the team’s history behind them, the Dynasty have proven they are just as capable a team without him. ![]() If San Francisco falters here, how will they fare in a meta that they couldn’t perform in just a season ago? Look for Matthew “super” Delisi to either make it or break in the playoffs, and fans must keep one thing in mind. Whether it be other teams catching up, or San Francisco simply becoming complacent, the once top-California representative is now fighting to keep their reputation from falling further. On the other end of things, the Shock have deteriorated from their once dominant position to a contender for top three. The Spark have corrected each of their mistakes throughout their stay in Burbank, and it seems they have very few left to clean up. Valiant have a chance to beat them, but it’s incredibly small because of how few mistakes the Spark make. The skill from players like Xu “Guxue” Qiulin and Kim “Godsb” Kyeong-bo has consistently shown time and time again to lead to a commanding record going into playoffs. This team has consistently improved throughout the season, and has 100 percent earned this spot. The Excelsior look fine otherwise, and have a strong chance to make it to a match against the Titans going into playoffs. That said, they have stumbled a few times, specifically against the Atlanta Reign. The New York representatives of the OWL give no mercy to their opponents, infrequently dropping maps and frequently having a stranglehold on games. However, they might as well be for lower-tier teams. The Excelsior are not undefeated, nor do they seem as unbeatable like the Titans. Hopefully fans will be able to see the likes of Haksal’s Genji and DPS play in general that the Titans are able to pull off. ![]() ![]() However, with Stage 4 role lock all but guaranteed, it will be interesting to see how this team adapts. There isn’t a ton to say here not much has changed. Vancouver's dominance has been apparent since they came into the League at the start of this Season. The Overwatch League kicks off the Stage 3 Playoffs this week, and ESTNN is here with our updated power rankings. ESTNN's Cole Ricke takes fans through the OWL Power Rankings before the start of the Stage 3 Playoffs. ![]()
