The Top 10 Overwatch Players of 2016
http://www.thescoreesports.com/overwatch/news/12288
Honestly it's a weird list, they don't seem to base much of it on achievement considering thy have roolf up there and not TviQ. I mean I think roolf is good but he has no real achievements compared to other players that could be up there.

no tviq but roolf and reinforce are in it?

Even the reasoning is ridiculous, the whole list reads like it was written by someone who doesn't follow the game. Huge names missing and terrible reasons given even for the understandable picks. Not theScores best work.

>iddqd on list >got cut from his team >sweden didn't make finals at world cup but use it as an example >reaper

wat

People react to Overwatch's tracer being queer!

Oh now it makes sense. Kotaku esports edition.

The only other articles on Overwatch on that site by one of the authors are World Cup articles and articles on Sombra, Tracer and the game which are basically copy-pasted from Blizzard news releases; the other one has covered most of the recent major tournaments, so should really know better.

Hilariously, there's also this tweet disclaiming personal responsibility for the list

Absolutely garbage

You have to be impressed that a scene is reckoned to have so much potential it's worth creating junk content. I checked etf2l recently and they were without a front page news writer for over a month. :/

Yeah but I'm pretty sure thescore's writers are full time employees

Nerdbaiting
Make a controversial, uneducated or otherwise false claim that's guaranteed to bait tons of people into clicking and sharing to tell you how wrong you are.
How many of you knew the score esports existed before this.

Only solution is to not give these things attention

theScore are actually one of the best news sites around for esports though, this isn't some clickbait garbage site. They don't have many people for OW but for the big esports they pump out good content.

Hm seems about right.
