10. Diem

While rather new to the Overwatch League, having been recruited last year, Min Sung “Diem” Bae is no stranger to competitive Overwatch. Arguably one of the best Hitscan players in China, Diem is best known for his Widowmaker and McCree.

He plays for the Shanghai Dragons, a team that in its inaugural season was easily the worst in the league. The Dragons hoped to turn their legacy around with the recruitment of Diem as well as players “Gamsu” and “Envy.” Despite this, the team ended up in the bottom four at the end of the 2019 Season. Shanghai fans can only hope for a better season in 2020.

Interesting Facts About Diem:

Diem has a special friendship with Carpe of Philadelphia Fusion, they often would play 1v1s both as Widowmaker to out snipe each other.
Diem came up with his name with Carpe after they discovered the popular latin idiom “carpe diem” which means “seize the day.”
Diem played for the team “Lucky Future Zenith” in the 2018 Overwatch Contenders: China season. Funny enough, the entire team was composed of South Korean players.
