2018 saw the beginning and conclusion of the Inaugural Season of the Overwatch League, with the London Spitfire resurging in the playoffs to take the crown and become the first world champions. The Contenders circuits also began, bringing in a new era for Overwatch esports across the world, and providing the game with glimpses and promises of its next generation of professional players. During the 2018 Overwatch World Cup, many of those players made their world-wide debuts on stage in Anaheim at Blizzcon 2018, maybe to the dismay of the fans of the teams they would eventually defeat.
The Americans were simply not ready for the level of play coming out of the UK this year, maybe getting caught up in their fizzling performance of 2017. It was a mistake a lot of people made when evaluating this group of lads in 2018, thinking too much about the failures of the 2017 squad. But this year, the UK had Fusions, a very charismatic, vocal, and visibly impactful player that made all the right decisions to wow the crowd with his tank play. It was most certainly Cameron's breakout performance that gave fans across the world a new personality to cheer for, to make it into the Overwatch League.
