We're back with the Overwatch League coaches' poll, and this week, the Summer Showdown is finally upon us.
What was the most-hyped game of the 2020 season in the North American region ended up being just another sweep for the defending champions. The San Francisco Shock took care of the Philadelphia Fusion in a decisive manner, leaving no doubt as to who's at the top of the heap in the West. The Shanghai Dragons are still on top in Asia after a 3-1 win over the Dynasty, but who do the league's coaches have as the team to beat?
The Overwatch League coaches' poll ranks the teams from best to worst, with votes compiled into aggregate rankings. The coaches' poll will come out weekly during the OWL season.
