Shock No. 1 in Overwatch League preseason coaches poll
After an offseason filled with drama, roster surprises and no shortage of angst, the results of our inaugural Overwatch League coaches poll are in … and there’s a familiar face at No. 1.
The San Francisco Shock finished the 2019 season on an absolute tear, settling the question of who was the league’s true power by easily 4-0ing the Vancouver Titans in the Grand Finals. The Shock bring back almost their entire championship core, with league MVP Jay “sinatraa” Won looking to dominate once again now that he can play DPS for an entire season.
They won’t have it too easy, though — it’s a brand new meta this season, and the rest of the league has made moves of its own.
The Overwatch League coaches poll is built off of the responses of coaches from across the Overwatch League. Voters rank the teams from best to worst, and those votes are compiled into an aggregate ranking. The coaches poll will come out weekly during the OWL season.
