The New York Excelsior was a dominant monster throughout this season. NYXL had different beasts to deal with whether it was Jong-ryeol “Saebyeolbe” Park, Hae-seong “Libero” Kim, Do-hyeon “Pine” Kim, or Sung-hyeon “JJoNak” Bang. Western teams such as the Philadelphia Fusion and Boston Uprising tried to derail the NYXL train but to no avail. It wasn’t until Stage 4 where a new challenger arrived to fight against NYXL where they were dethroned in the grand finals, and a new team was crowned the winner of Stage 4. Thus, the Los Angeles Valiant became the 3rd Overwatch League team to become the stage champions. Indy “SPACE” Halpern dropped by to talk some more about NYXL and his life prior to playing Overwatch.

Unfortunately, Brady “Agilities” Girardi and Indy “SPACE” Halpern carried the match for the Valiant, thus ending their run in Stage 4. After the match, the Gladiators held a press conference to talk about the match.

The Dallas Fuel had a rough season; the release of polarizing player Félix “xQc” Lengyel, releasing former head coach Kyle “KyKy” Souder, and Hyeon “EFFECT” Hwang taking a leave of absence after enduring a heap of stress throughout this season. This emotional rollercoaster came to a high at this stage for the Dallas Fuel. So far in Stage 4, the Dallas Fuel caught everyone by surprise and turned things around. Following their win against the Florida Mayhem, the effervescent Pongphop “Mickie” Rattanasangchod stopped backstage and chatted about the team’s turnaround this stage, what he would like to see in Overwatch League next season, and his opinions about working out and dieting.
The showdown of the wild west came to the forefront of the Overwatch League last night. The Outlaws came away with a win thanks to a solid defense and a bit of luck against the Fuel. With that win, as of today, the Outlaws are currently qualified for the stage playoffs; they are also on the cusp of qualifying for the postseason behind the Los Angeles Gladiators and Philadelphia Fusion. Austin “Muma” Wilmot, tank for the Houston Outlaws, had a significant role against the Dallas Fuel. Here, he shares his thoughts about the match against Dallas and about heading into playoffs.

At the end of the season, the Overwatch League will celebrate its grand finals at the Barclays Center in New York to crown the inaugural champions. To commemorate their achievements thus far, Blizzard worked with video game news outlet GameSpot in a video compilation about building the Overwatch League.
