'Proper' wins the Overwatch League MVP and Rookie Awards

Proper won three awards this season itself - Role Star (Damage), Rookie of the Year, and Regular Season MVP.

He joined the Overwatch esports scene back in 2018 and has since made quite a name for himself. This professional player from South Korea has previously dominated the Contenders in Korea by securing the 1st position in both OW Contenders 2021 Season 1: Korea and OW Contenders 2021 Season 2: Korea.

"I’m a bit nervous right now, I really didn’t expect this at all."

He further added:

"Getting Rookie of the Year, I wanted to work toward getting MVP for next year, but I want to thank all of the people at my side who supported me this year."

Proper claimed 20.44% of the votes, beating Kevin “Kevster” Persson (19.23%), Jae-Won “Lip” Lee (18.42%), and Han-Been “Hanbin” Choi (16%).
