First Han-Been "Hanbin" Choi smiles sheepishly at the invitation, then he kisses the well-deserved trophy: his team Dallas Fuel won 4-0 against San Francisco Shock in the final of the summer tournament of the Overwatch League. Both teams were considered clear favorites in advance.

"I'm incredibly happy because this is the first tournament victory of our team," Hanbin said in the livestream of the tournament according to a translation.

This was largely due to his outstanding performance on Junker Queen, for which he was named the most important player of the match. Commentator Mitch Leslie described Hanbin as the "undisputed king of the West".

A team also secured its first title of the season in the Eastern region. Shanghai Dragons won two games dominantly and met Seoul Dynasty in the final match. After a balanced start, Shanghai took a 3-2 lead and won the following round.

The qualifying phase for the final tournament of the season before the playoffs begins on September 22. The first matchday opens with the match of Houston Outlaws against Boston Uprising.
