The opening weekend was full of excitement. As always the APAC games, for those NA fans, are super early. There are many new faces in APAC. Though It was only the Seoul Dynasty, Philadelphia Fusion, Guangzhou Charge, Chengdu Hunters, LA Valiant, and Shanghai Dragons that were seen, there were some standout moments from the rookies.
LA Valiant: Liao ‘MoLanRan’ Yang
Many fans were and likely still are not happy with the organization of the LA Valiant. That shouldn’t reflect on the new LA Valiant players though as they are just trying their best. The Valiant played against the Philadelphia Fusion and the Chengdu Hunters. The standout player on this roster was Liao ‘MoLanRan’ Yang. He has been a Chinese Overwatch player since 2016, but this is the first time in the Overwatch League.
His DPS duo is Cai ‘Krystal’ Shilong who previously was on the Hangzhou Spark as well as the Guangzhou Charge. Even though he is the rookie of the two, he showed up in a big way.
MoLanRan showed so much flexibility being on Tracer to Sombra also Doomfist, and also Echo. He showed a lot of skill on these high mobility characters, he supported Krystal very well in their play styles. Though many of the people in the community had low expectations, he was a nice surprise in the potential he has to grow.
Chengdu Hunter: Xiang ‘ Mmonk’
@ChengduHunters vs @ShanghaiDragons | Opening Weekend | Day 2 — East
Mmonk is a flex support for the Chengdu Hunters. He consistently was putting out great Bionades that would lead to the opposing teams to retreat or the catalyst for them getting wiped. On Gibraltar, he went big. Many times he would be the one to get an essential pick against players such as Izayaki. That would open up the fight to lead them to a fight wins.
