This season of the Overwatch League has been full of parity. In fact, much of the league has hovered around .500 for most of the season.

After this week, things are a little bit different.

There is only one team within one game of .500, that team being the 9-8 Philadelphia Fusion. Other teams are at least two matches removed -- for now.

That doesn't mean the parity still doesn't exist. The Outlaws entered the week 3-12 while the Shock entered the week 12-3. In the match between the two teams, the Outlaws triumphed.

While that match became the biggest item to talk about for Overwatch League teams, there were many other exciting matches and changes within the rankings. Some teams are hitting their stride while other teams are falling to the floor.

What does all of this mean in the grand scheme of things? Find out in this week's Scrub's Power Rankings.

1. (+1) Vancouver Titans (18-0)

After a few short weeks trailing the Shock, the Vancouver Titans Vancouver Titans OWL Rank #19 Aspire Luka Rolovic dps MirroR Chris Trịnh dps False Nick Wiseman tank Masaa Petja Kantanen support Aztac Park Jeong-soo (박정수) support are once again the kings of these rankings.

2. (-1) San Francisco Shock (13-4)

The San Francisco Shock San Francisco Shock OWL Rank #2 Viol2t Park Min-ki flex support Finn Oh Se-jin (오세진) flex support Proper Kim Dong-hyeon (김동현) dps s9mm Samuel Santos dps Coluge Colin Arai tank followed their close match with the Reign by losing to the Outlaws. While both opponents played well, it's nonetheless a sign the Shock aren't in the same form they were when they went 28-0 last stage and took the title.

3. (-) New York Excelsior (15-2)

Barring a collapse, the New York Excelsior New York Excelsior OWL Rank #18 Gangnamjin Gang Nam-jin (강남진) flex support Myunb0ng Seo Sang-min (서상민) flex support Flora Lim Young-woo (임영우) dps Yaki Kim Jun-gi (김준기) dps Kellan Kim Min-jae tank should runaway with the Atlantic Division title.

4. (-) Los Angeles Gladiators (12-6)

While it's still in the early going, it's worth noting the Los Angeles Gladiators Los Angeles Gladiators OWL Rank #4 Shu Kim Jin-seo flex support kevster Kevin Persson dps Patiphan Patiphan Chaiwong dps Reiner Corey Scoda tank FunnyAstro Daniel Hathaway support are more dominant in their wins in this stage than they were in the last stage. A combined 7-1 record this week positions the Gladiators in a good spot for Stage 3 despite the much tougher schedule.

5. (-) Hangzhou Spark (10-7)

The Hangzhou Spark Hangzhou Spark OWL Rank #6 BERNAR Shin Se-won (신세원) off tank irony Kim Hyeong-woo (김형우) flex support Shy Zheng Yangjie (郑杨杰) dps AlphaYi Kim Joon (김준) dps guxue Xu Qiulin (徐秋林) tank superich Wu Gengtuo (吴梗拓) support are beginning to cement themselves as a team truly in the league's upper echelon. The 3-1 scoreline of their defeat to the Titans doesn't tell the whole tale -- the match in reality was much closer. As said last week, they appear to be only getting better with time and could be a real threat to anyone they play in the postseason playoffs.

6. (-) Seoul Dynasty (10-8)

Every match for the Seoul Dynasty Seoul Dynasty OWL Rank #3 Ir1s Kim Seung-Hyun (김승현) FITS Kim Dong-eon (김동언) dps Profit Park Joon-yeong (박준영) dps smurf Yoo Myeong-Hwan tank Vindaim Junwoo Park support this stage has ended in a sweep. Given they're 3-1 Stage 3 record, that's pretty good. Their next match, however, will be defining for both the Dynasty and their opponents for this stage: it's a rematch with the Spark.

7. (-) Shanghai Dragons (9-7)

The Shanghai Dragons Shanghai Dragons OWL Rank #5 Izayaki Kim Min-chul (김민철) flex support Void Kang Jun-woo (강준우) off tank Fleta Kim Byung-sun (김병선) dps LIP Lee Jae-won (이재원) dps Fate Koo Pan-seung (구판승) tank LeeJaeGon Lee Jae-gon (이재곤) support are charging full speed ahead into postseason contention, yet are still striving to improve the roster. It's hard to imagine their acquisition of envy will be what pushes them over the edge and makes them a threat to the league's best squads, but every little bit helps. The Dragons are definitely making a playoff push.

8. (-) London Spitfire (11-6)

After briefly experimenting with Quatermain on the starting roster in Stage 3's first week, the London Spitfire London Spitfire OWL Rank #12 Landon flex support SparkR William Andersson dps Backbone Jamie O'Neill dps Hadi Daniel Bleinagel tank Admiral Oliver Vahar support have put NUS back on main support. It will be interesting to see if the Spitfire stick with NUS in their rematch with the Excelsior or if they will try to run Quatermain against them again like they tried in their defeat to NYXL just a couple of weeks ago.

9. (+2) Los Angeles Valiant (5-12)

Yes, the Los Angeles Valiant Los Angeles Valiant OWL Rank #15 Molly He Chengzhi (何诚智) flex support Diya Lu Weida (陆炜达) dps innovation Oh Seok-hyun (오석현) dps Becky Il-ha Kim (김일하) dps Ezhan dps Marve1 Hwang Min-seo (황민서) tank Lengsa Chen Jingyi (陈婧逸) support are not really a top nine team -- but there aren't really any good candidates to take this spot otherwise. The Valiant have bested the weaker teams on their schedule in Stage 3, but the quality of competition is about to heat up. All four of their remaining opponents have a winning record. Their chance to earn their ranking will certainly be there.

10. (-1) Dallas Fuel (10-8)

The Dallas Fuel Dallas Fuel OWL Rank #1 Fielder Kwon Joon (권준) flex support Doha Kim Dong-Ha (김동하) dps SP9RK1E Kim Young-han (김영한) dps FEARLESS Lee Eui-seok (이의석) tank ChiYo Han Hyeon-syuk (한현석) support 's loss to the Hunters is unwelcome for a team that was already facing a difficult stage. They are now 1-3 in Stage 3 with matches against the Spark and Excelsior still on the horizon. That's not including a rematch against the very same Hunters team that beat them this week. They entered Stage 3 with a strong record and room to struggle -- but it looks like they will leave Stage 3 with no room left to spare.

11. (+1) Philadelphia Fusion (9-8)

The Philadelphia Fusion Philadelphia Fusion OWL Rank #11 AimGod Min-seok Kwon flex support MN3 Yoon Jae-hee dps ZEST Kim Hyun-woo (김현우) dps Belosrea tank FiXa Kwon Young Hoon (권영훈) support are like the Fuel's doppelgangers -- they're a team with a winning record that has benefited from an easy schedule and is now struggling to maintain their winning ways. Luckily for the Fusion, they play in the Atlantic Division and don't need to be great to win matches.

12. (+7) Houston Outlaws (5-12)

The Houston Outlaws Houston Outlaws OWL Rank #7 Lastro Moon Jung-won (문정원) flex support creative Kim Young-wan (김영완) flex support Danteh Dante Cruz dps Pelican Oh Se-hyun (오세현) dps Mer1t Choi Tae-min dps Piggy Shin Min-jun tank played great! They beat the Shock! Why are they only ranked 12th? That's largely because the Outlaws have looked good with a concrete game plan for one week. If they can show some consistency in the upcoming week, they will continue to rise in the rankings. It may be hard to knock the Outlaws down if they continue to rely on Danteh 's Sombra -- don't forget that he has been known as one of the world's best Sombras since well before this season. Plus, he has experience playing D.Va at a pro level should he need to swap. This might just be the perfect meta for a Danteh-led Outlaws.

13. (+2) Paris Eternal (8-10)

Not only did the Paris Eternal Paris Eternal OWL Rank #20 Kaan Emir Kaan Okumus flex support Glister Lim Gil-seong (임길성) dps Wub Cameron Johnson dps Dove Jesse Palomo dps Malthel Josh Gonzales dps Daan Daniël Vincentius Paulus Scheltema tank Krawi tank dridro Arthur Szanto support Lukemino Luke Fish support Rakattack Kyle Rakauskas support ignore my calls to spend the downtime between Stage 2 and Stage 3 adding new players to improve their roster, but they also decided to start winning matches while doing so. Their efforts to spite me and their 3-1 record have been noted. Now it's a question of how long it will last. They play a surging Outlaws next, but will also play a plummeting Uprising squad.

14. (-) Atlanta Reign (7-11)

While it's promising the Atlanta Reign Atlanta Reign OWL Rank #10 Kai Kai Collins dps nero Charlie Zwarg dps Hawk Xander Domecq tank UltraViolet Benjamin David support Ojee Christian Han support have been competitive with good teams, they need to win matches eventually. Getting swept by the Dynasty hurt the image of a team that has looked impressive despite starting Stage 3 winless. The Reign have an opportunity to rebound with a significantly easier final half of Stage 3. Their performance in those matches should tell us if the current Atlanta Reign are closer to the team that played the Shock and Excelsior or closer to the team that played the Dynasty.

15. (-2) Guangzhou Charge (6-11)

The Guangzhou Charge Guangzhou Charge OWL Rank #9 Cr0ng Nam Ki-cheol (남기철) off tank Farway1987 Cao Jiale (曹家乐) flex support choisehwan Choi Se-Hwan (최세환) dps Develop Chae Rak-hoon (채락훈) dps Rio Oh Seung-pyo (오승표) tank Unique Yoo Dong-hyun support are kinda just there. They're definitely not a good team, but they aren't one of the very worst teams either. There's not really much to say about them right now.

16. (+1) Chengdu Hunters (7-11)

All of the remaining Stage 3 matches for the Chengdu Hunters Chengdu Hunters OWL Rank #13 Mmonk Zhou Xiang (周翔) flex support Daizi Ni Yuandong (倪远东) off tank Jinmu Yi Hu (易虎) dps Leave Huang Xin (黄馨) dps GA9A Qiu Jiaxin (仇佳鑫) tank Nisha Tan Li (谭力) support are against teams with winning records. Perhaps that's a good thing for them? They seem to win more matches against playoff-bound teams than against struggling teams.

17. (-1) Toronto Defiant (7-9)

It seemed like only recently the Toronto Defiant Toronto Defiant OWL Rank #14 Twilight Lee Joo-seok (이주석) flex support Heesu Jeong Hee-su (정희수) dps Finale dps MuZe Kim Young-hun (김영훈) tank Ch0r0ng support were talking about envy as one of their team's leaders. Now he's been shipped off to another team. Watch for the Defiant to possibly make more roster moves as they search for the magic that led them to a 5-2 Stage 1.

18. (-4) Boston Uprising (7-11)

The Boston Uprising Boston Uprising OWL Rank #16 Valentine Kim Byoungju dps punk Leyton Gilchrist tank Faith Hong Gyu Kim support Crimzo William Hernandez support are free-falling fast and could end up going 0-7 this stage. They could fall out of contention of making it into the season's top 12 if they don't make changes soon.

19. (-1) Washington Justice (2-15)

The Washington Justice Washington Justice OWL Rank #17 Decay Jang Gui-un (장귀운) dps Happy Lee Jung-woo (이정우) dps Mag Kim Tae-sung (김태성) tank Krillin Jeong Young-hoon support Opener An Gi-beom support have not won a map in Stage 3 thus far. On the bright side, they've earned two draws, so at least they've only been swept once in this stage.

20. (-) Florida Mayhem (1-14)

A late release of this week's article means that it comes after the Florida Mayhem Florida Mayhem OWL Rank #8 SirMajed Majed Alrashied flex support Checkmate Baek Seung-hun dps Hydron Isaiah Rodriguez dps someone tank ANAMO Jeong Tae-seong (정태성) support made their final few roster additions of their midseason transformation. Their team does look like it should be better than it was before they started shuffling around players, but how much better remains to be seen. For now, there is no reason to believe they are suddenly good enough to start winning matches.

Weekly Wrap-up

This upcoming week will be headlined by the match between the Spark and the Dynasty on Saturday. If there is only one match this week you can watch, it should be this one.

Of course, there are plenty of other worthwhile matches to watch if you have time for more. While the Outlaws won't be playing particularly strong opponents, their resurgence should be fun to watch if they continue what they did this past week.

As the season gets closer to its end, matches should continue to get more and more exciting.
