1. (-) San Francisco Shock (23-5)

Even when the Titans pushed the San Francisco Shock San Francisco Shock OWL Rank #2 ChoiHyoBin Choi Hyo-Bin (최효빈) off tank Viol2t Park Min-ki flex support Striker Kwon Nam-joo (권남주) dps ANS Lee Seon-chang (이선창) dps smurf Yoo Myeong-Hwan tank Moth Grant Espe support to the brink of defeat, the Shock held on and maintained their undefeated stage. Their dominance in this stage was powered in large part by the heroics of Rascal and ChoiHyoBin , further establishing just how strong the Shock roster is. Just about any of their starting six players were deserving of an MVP nomination prior to the start of Stage 4, but these two have been making a case that maybe they should have been nominated over their teammates.

2. (-) Vancouver Titans (25-3)

If you weren't certain the Vancouver Titans Vancouver Titans OWL Rank #18 Roolf Randal Stark flex support KSAA Alhumaidi Alruwaili off tank Dalton Dalton Bennyhoff dps sHockWave Niclas Smidt Jensen dps ShRedLock Abtin Shirvani tank CarCar Carson First support had regained their mojo, their tightly contested match with the Shock should have pushed you to believing. Their match was certainly exciting and did not look like a game between two teams with nothing to play for.

3. (-) Atlanta Reign (16-12)

The Atlanta Reign Atlanta Reign OWL Rank #14 Dogman Dusttin Bowerman flex support Hawk Xander Domecq off tank Lr1s Kim Seung-Hyun (김승현) flex support Edison Kim Tae-hoon (김태훈) dps saucy Garret Roland dps Gator Blake Scott tank Masaa Petja Kantanen support rolled all of Stage 4. While they didn't play a particularly tough schedule this stage, there is something to be said of a team that never lost more than one map in a match. The only other time that has happened this season is when the Titans and Shock both did it in Stage 2 (the Shock didn't lose a single map that stage).

4. (-) Guangzhou Charge (15-13)

The Guangzhou Charge Guangzhou Charge OWL Rank #5 Shu Kim Jin-seo flex support Cr0ng Nam Ki-cheol (남기철) off tank Happy Lee Jung-woo (이정우) dps Eileen Ou Yiliang (欧倚良) dps Rio Oh Seung-pyo (오승표) tank Chara Kim Jung-yeon (김정연) support 's late season surge is rewarded with a favorable opening play-in matchup: the Chengdu Hunters. As long as they don't take them too lightly, the match should be very winnable for them. Should they win, they'll play a Seoul Dynasty team they just defeated in Stage 4.

5. (-) Washington Justice (8-20)

This is a final farewell to this year's Washington Justice Washington Justice OWL Rank #10 AimGod Min-seok Kwon flex support JJANU Choi Hyeon-woo (최현우) off tank TTuba Lee Ho-sung (이호성) dps Stitch Lee Chung-hee (이충희) dps Decay Jang Gui-un (장귀운) dps ArK Hong Yeon-joon support roster. Thanks to their Stage 4 heroics, they moved up to a tie for 17th in the final standings. They will be exciting to watch if they can carry their momentum into next season.

6. (-) Hangzhou Spark (18-10)

At the start of Stage 4, it was the Hangzhou Spark Hangzhou Spark OWL Rank #9 BeBe Yoon Hui-Chang (윤희창) flex support QOQ Yu Sung-joon (유성준) off tank GodsB Kim Kyeon-Bo (김경보) dps Architect Park Min-ho (박민호) dps guxue Xu Qiulin (徐秋林) tank M1ka Liu Jiming (刘济铭) support who looked uncharacteristically weak. By the end of Stage 4, it was the Spark's final opponents--the Shanghai Dragons--who looked uncharacteristically weak. The Spark's improvement saved their place in the top six while avoiding a date with the Shock in the first round of the playoffs.

7. (-) Los Angeles Gladiators (17-11)

In large part thanks to Surefour , the Los Angeles Gladiators Los Angeles Gladiators OWL Rank #13 Shaz Jonas Suovaara flex support SPACE Indy Halpern off tank birdring Kim Ji-hyuk (김지혁) dps kevster Kevin Persson dps OGE Son Min-seok (손민석) tank BigGoose Benjamin Isohanni support sealed away the Valiant and kept their place in the top five of the standings. Their great play that match will need follow-up in the playoffs if they hope to overcome the Spark.

8. (+3) New York Excelsior (22-6)

The New York Excelsior New York Excelsior OWL Rank #6 JJoNak Bang Sung-hyeon (방성현) flex support HOTBA Choi Hong-joon off tank Saebyeolbe Park Jong Ryeol dps Haksal Kim Hyo-jong (김효종) dps Mano Kim Dong-gyu (김동규) tank ANAMO Jeong Tae-seong (정태성) support is noticeably better swapping Fl0w3R into the lineup like they did this weekend. Their efforts were enough to take the Titans to map five, which is no laughing matter. I still wouldn't let my confidence in them get too high, but at least they're looking a little bit better now.

9. (-) London Spitfire (16-12)

The London Spitfire London Spitfire OWL Rank #17 BERNAR Shin Se-won (신세원) off tank Highly Lee Sung-hyeok (이성혁) flex support Glister Lim Gil-seong (임길성) dps Although Jung Hyun-wook dps JMac Choi Dae-han (최대한) tank SanGuiNar Lym Kyu-min support fell out of the top six for the first time since they entered it when they finished 6-1 in Stage 2. Unfortunately, they could do nothing about it as they watched the Kit Kat Rivalry Weekend from home.

10. (-) Seoul Dynasty (15-13)

A week off from their loss to the Fusion should help the Seoul Dynasty Seoul Dynasty OWL Rank #4 creative Kim Young-wan (김영완) flex support FITS Kim Dong-eon (김동언) dps Profit Park Joon-yeong (박준영) dps Marve1 Hwang Min-seo (황민서) tank Gesture Hong Jae-hee (홍재희) tank tobi Yang Jin-mo (양진모) support rebound when they enter the play-in tournament--at least that's what Dynasty fans hope.

11. (-3) Los Angeles Valiant (12-16)

While the Los Angeles Valiant Los Angeles Valiant OWL Rank #11 McGravy Caleb McGarvey off tank Lastro Moon Jung-won (문정원) flex support Shax Johannes Nielsen dps ksp Kai Collins dps Dreamer Song Sang-lok tank RAin Park Jae-ho (박재호) support won't finish the season ahead of the Hunters in the final standings, they can at least end in front of the Hunters in these rankings. That won't get them into the postseason, but at least it's something. KSF deserves quite a bit of credit for showing fight and trying to carry the team in their time of need. Unfortunately for them, it wasn't enough.

12. (-) Chengdu Hunters (13-15)

The Chengdu Hunters Chengdu Hunters OWL Rank #12 Lateyoung Ma Tianbin (马添彬) off tank Molly He Chengzhi (何诚智) flex support Jinmu Yi Hu (易虎) dps Leave Huang Xin (黄馨) dps Ameng Ding Menghan (丁蒙涵) tank Yveltal Li Xianyao (李先曜) support have the Gladiators and the Shock to thank for their spot in the play-in tournament. Now they need to make the most of it and upset some teams to get into the playoffs.

13. (-) Florida Mayhem (6-22)

The Florida Mayhem Florida Mayhem OWL Rank #8 Gargoyle Lee Beom-jun (이범준) off tank GangNamJin Gang Nam-jin (강남진) flex support BQB Lee Sang-bum (이상범) dps Yaki Kim Jun-gi (김준기) dps Fate Koo Pan-seung (구판승) tank Kris Choi Jun-soo (최준수) support would have qualified for their first ever stage playoffs had there been stage playoffs at the end of Stage 4. Unfortunately, that did not happen and thus the era of stage playoffs will end without the Mayhem ever making one.

14. (-) Philadelphia Fusion (15-13)

The first opponent for the Philadelphia Fusion Philadelphia Fusion OWL Rank #3 Fury Kim Jun-ho (김준호) off tank Alarm Kim Kyeong-bo (김경보) flex support Carpe Lee Jae-hyeok (이재혁) dps Ivy Lee Seung-Hyun dps SADO Kim Su-Min (뜨용) tank FunnyAstro Daniel Hathaway support in the play-in tournament will be a floundering Shanghai Dragons squad. Such a matchup may help them surpass expectations in the play-ins.

15. (-) Paris Eternal (11-17)

Despite looking unimpressive throughout the season, the Paris Eternal Paris Eternal OWL Rank #7 hanbin Choi Han-bin (최한빈) off tank Fielder Kwon Joon (권준) flex support SoOn Terence Tarlier dps SP9RK1E Kim Young-han (김영한) dps BenBest Benjamin Dieulafait tank FDGoD Brice Monscavoir support were surprisingly consistent. They finished 3-4 in three different stages, which the Hunters also did en route to qualifying for the play-in tournaments. The difference is in the one outlier stage: the Eternal finished 2-5 in Stage 2 while the Hunters finished 4-3 in Stage 4.

16. (-) Shanghai Dragons (13-15)

The Shanghai Dragons Shanghai Dragons OWL Rank #1 Izayaki Kim Min-chul (김민철) flex support Void Kang Jun-woo (강준우) off tank Fleta Kim Byung-sun (김병선) dps LIP Lee Jae-won (이재원) dps FEARLESS Lee Eui-seok (이의석) tank LeeJaeGon Lee Jae-gon (이재곤) support need an enormous rebound after finishing 1-6 in Stage 4. I'd like to say they are better off when they put diem into the lineup, but that is clearly not making any difference as they continue to lose regardless of who plays alongside DDing . While I would say they should maybe experiment with playing YoungJIN and diem as their DPS combo, I'm not sure either can play Mei. Their best bet is to hope the play-in tournament's patch changes the meta enough that their DPS are on heroes they're more comfortable with.

17. (-) Houston Outlaws (9-19)

The Houston Outlaws Houston Outlaws OWL Rank #19 MekO Kim Tae Hong off tank rapel Kim Jun-geun (김준근) flex support LiNkzr Jiri Masalin dps Danteh Dante Cruz dps Hydration João Pedro Goes Telles flex Jecse Lee Seong-soo (이승수) support ' offseason is the toughest to predict in all of the Overwatch League. Who knows what plans the new ownership has for the team!

18. (-) Toronto Defiant (8-20)

At least the Toronto Defiant Toronto Defiant OWL Rank #16 KariV Park Young-seo (박영서) flex support Nevix Andreas Karlsson off tank Logix Andreas Berghmans dps Agilities Brady Girardi dps numlocked Seb Barton tank Kruise Harrison Pond support got a win in their final stage. Doing so allowed them to avoid a 14 match losing streak to end the season.

19. (-) Dallas Fuel (10-18)

The Dallas Fuel Dallas Fuel OWL Rank #15 NotE Lucas Meissner off tank Crimzo William Hernandez flex support Doha Kim Dong-Ha (김동하) dps ONIGOD Stefan Fiskerstrand dps Gamsu Noh Yeong-jin (노영진) tank Paintbrush Nolan Edwards support , on the other hand, did not get a win in the final stage. Their season ended on a 12 match losing streak.

20. (-) Boston Uprising (8-20)

I enjoyed seeing blasé play Reinhardt. More seriously, I really like what I've seen out of Colourhex 's Widowmaker. If there are positives to the Boston Uprising Boston Uprising OWL Rank #20 Myunbong Seo Sang-min (서상민) flex support punk Leyton Gilchrist off tank Colourhex Kelsey Birse dps Jerry Min Tae-Hui (민태희) dps Fusions Cameron Bosworth tank mikeyy Michael Konicki tank Halo Kobe Hamand support 's final stage, it's that Colourhex began to shine a bit as a formidable sniper player.
