TviQ is one of the best known players in all of overwatch, with his incredible performance on enormous range of heroes he is by many regarded as one of the very best players in the west. This being said his results this year are very underwhelming, with the fully Swedish Misfits failing to achieve any success it was only when they picked up Belgian and Finnish players were they able to perform in the first season of contenders but they still ultimately failed to Gigantti. With the lack of results Swedish super star couldn’t be higher in ranking.

KnOxXx was the main tank of rogue playing winston nearly every game and while his hero didn't have such carry potential like the dps and even Zenyata his solid play on which the team could always rely were crucial to Rogues success in 2017.
15. Saebyeolbe
South Korea over.gg profile Liquipedia profile
LuxuryWatch Blue
New York Excelsior
Results:
- 3rd Overwatch APEX Season 2
- 1st Overwatch World Cup 2017
Breaking hearts of both, his fangirls with the information he is married as well as his enemies in game with his incredible Tracer play Saebyeolbe is one of the best Korean dps players and while his team, LuxuryWatch Blue, did not see success in 2017 he was was able to show his worth during Overwatch World Cup.
14. SoOn
France over.gg profile Liquipedia profile
Rogue
Los Angeles Valiant
Results:

- 1st Overwatch PIT Championship - North America
- 1st Overwatch Rumble - April
- 1st Overwatch TaKeOver 2
- 1st BEAT Invitational - Season 2
- 4th Overwatch World Cup 2017
SoOn is by many regarded as best western players, while his playstyle is not as flashy as many other tracer players and he might not win every one on one his ability to load pulsbombes in incredibly fast time and consistently stick crucial targets with them are one of the most impressive in all of overwatch. With his stellar performance he was one of the key pieces in Rogues success in the dive meta. While it wasn’t needed of him to play much of other heroes his mccree widow and roadhog are also very impressive. With the tracer unlikely to go out of meta anytime soon it was no surprise that he was quickly picked up for overwatch leagues Los Angeles Valiant.
13. Fl0w3R
South Korea over.gg profile Liquipedia profile
LuxuryWatch Blue
New York Excelsior (underage)
Results:
-3rd Overwatch APEX Season 2
- 1st Overwatch World Cup 2017
Prodigy child of Overwatch, Fl0w3R, is by many expected to take the scene over but in 2017 he did not have many opportunities to prove his worth as his team haven’t won anything and he could only shine during the Overwatch World Cup, still his impressive performance on wide range of heroes was one of the factors in the victorie of south Korean squad.
12. Taimou
Finland over.gg profile Liquipedia profile
EnVyUs
Dallas Fuel
Results:
- 2nd Overwatch Rumble - April
- 4th Overwatch APEX Season 3
- 1st Overwatch Contenders 2017 Season 1: North America
- 3rd Overwatch World Cup 2017
Taimou might be a hitscan player with the highest skill ceiling in the world, he could carry his team to the victorie with widowmaker when pretty much no one else played her. Other hero on which he shines is a roadhog on which he can hit hooks out of this world but his lack of consistancy and relatively limited heropool meant that in many cases he was not there when his team needed him the most.
11. Miro
South Korea over.gg profile Liquipedia profile
Lunatic Hai
Seoul Dynasty
Results: 1st Overwatch APEX Season 2
1st Overwatch APEX Season 3
1st Seoul Cup - OGN Super Match
1st Overwatch World Cup 2017
Miro is similar to KnOxXx in that there never was as much attention on him as on dps and support players of Lunatic Hai but his Reinhard and Winston were the backbone of their success and his impact in making them the best team in the world can't be overlooked.
ill repeat myself but i did not have any impact on this ranking i just combined the rankings i received.
Hope you find this as well as the second part in which i will present top 10 players in 2017
