The Paris Eternal players sat there for another moment, not yet seeming to realize that they had won their first victory of the Overwatch League season. Only at the last moment they prevailed in a close match with a score of 3:2 against New York Excelsior.

"I really wanted to win," Paris-based Arthur "dridro" Szanto said after the game. "We are very happy." Commentators praised the "impressive" performance of the 19-year-old and his German teammate Emir "Kaan" Okumus. However, they chose the newcomer Jesse "Dove" Palomo as the player of the match, who impressed in his second league game.

The second Canadian in the Overwatch League, Hadi Daniel "Hadi" Bleinagel, also started successfully in the tournament qualification. His team London Spitfire took two victories and consolidated in the midfield of the table.

On the next matchday, the two European teams will meet their direct competitors. In the match against New York, London is considered the favorite. Paris could also use the momentum to score against Boston Uprising.
