Overwatch League 2020 MVP candidates ft. Rascal, Hanbin & Void

The Overwatch League 2020 regular season is scheduled to end on August 9. The 27-week gruelling regular season was a rollercoaster ride with the league forced to abandon hosting matches in venues due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite shifting to an all-online format, the third season of Overwatch League was quite a successful one with the 20 best Overwatch teams in the world competing for the championship. With teams gearing for another intense postseason, here's a look at some of the candidates for the Most Valuable Players of the 2020 season:

Kim “Rascal” Dong-jun

San Francisco Shock's DPS star, Rascal has been one of the most consistent players for the reigning champions. Last year, Sinatraa was awarded the MVP for his incredible flexibility to switch between roles. With Sinatraa leaving the Shock to play Valorant for LA Sentinels, Rascal has taken the centre-stage for his side. The former London Spitfire has been one of the rising stars in Overwatch and is a firm candidate to swoop the MVP award.

Choi “Hanbin” Hanbeen

Paris Eternal's Hanbin has played Off-Tank for his side. Also, a candidate for the Rookie of the Year, Hanbin is the underdog in the race for the MVP award. Hanbin's offence has been one of his strongest suits this season. He was the first player in the 2020 season to cross the 2,000 elimination mark. 

Kang “Void” Jun-woo

Shanghai Dragons are the currently the leader in Overwatch overall standings. South Koran Off-Tank player, Void has been a constant presence in his side's offence as well as defence. With over 2,600 damages blocked and 19 eliminations per 10 minutes, it becomes easy to understand the Dragons' consistency with Void leading the charge.
