New York’s representative team has been put together, again, with a host of South Korean players. However, the most important asset to the team is a player who can’t play yet due to the age restrictions of the competition. Fl0w3R, one of the most well-rounded and dangerous Overwatch players and a member of the successful South Korean Overwatch World Cup winning squad, is currently waiting in the wings as an inactive player until he comes of age. That’s a dangerous not-so-secret weapon for the team when the time comes.
Player to Watch: With Fl0w3R sidelined for now, fellow World Cup winner Saebyeolbe should grab plenty of attention with some quickfire Tracer and the occasional Roadhog. The 21 year-old should cause plenty of headaches either way.

Sports and entertainment owner Comcast has put together a Fusion squad full of talented players, including UK World Cup member Boombox, mixed with a few lesser known players. They will also be missing SADO for most of the inaugural season following a suspension handed down by Blizzard for breaching Overwatch League rules and Overwatch’s EULA. He won’t return to action until stage four.
Player to Watch: While Mercy will play a pivotal role on any team given her high level of healing, UK support player Boombox will bring his Zenyatta into the fray, which could lead to both some clutch support moments along with an extra level of attack. Boombox will look to go one better than his UK team’s disappointing performance at the World Cup.
