‘Chiu on This’ is a short and regular opinion blast

I didn’t think I was necessarily qualified to pick out MVPs of the Overwatch League as it isn’t m main game of focus. However after seeing the votes for the regular season MVP where Shanghai Dragon players got voted in the top 3 spots despite the 0-40 record, I’ve come to the conclusion that if that’s the standard then I’m fine.

So without further ado, I believe that the two frontrunners for the playoffs MVP of Overwatch League are Carpe and Profit. Carpe is an obvious pick as he has continued to be a revelation and was in the argument for the regular season MVP. He has incredibly consistency when it comes to the shots he must hit and the miracle plays that can sometimes force a lost situation into a win. The particular play I’m thinking of was when he got a triple kill at the end of the second point on King’s row. A stoppage there by New York Excelsior could have swung the map into Excelsior’s victory if you consider the spawning points. However Carpe pulled out a miracle and he is one of the two best players still in contention for the title.

The other nominee I’d pick is Profit. This guy has been one of the most criminally underrated players in the entire Overwatch League to the point where Diya somehow got more MVP votes than he did. I’ve always considered him to have one of the highest ceilings in the game and he has incredible consistency. The problem with Profit was that this team lacked synergy and their leadership issues always made everyone look worse throughout the season. However once London Spitfire peaked in the playoffs, we got to see how incredible Profit could be on a high functioning team.

Currently I’m favoring Carpe over Profit as I think Profit’s teammates are better than Carpe’s man-for-man. For instance, players like Bdosin or Gesture are looking to be the best players for their roles in the playoffs so. On top of that Carpe was forced to play at a higher ceiling as Pine also played at superstar level at times in the second best-of-five against Philadelphia Fusion. So overall I’m favoring Carpe right now though how each player performs in the finals could sway it one way or another.
