April 4, 2018 - the day Tyler "Ninja" Blevins rose to the top of the ESPN Esports 64 bracket. And it wasn't even close. Lane "Surefour" Roberts made a Cinderella run through his side as a 16 seed, and the camaraderie of the Overwatch League players, fans and teams gave Surefour a nice push early on, but the power of Ninja prevailed in the end.

Ninja, known for his long-time professional career in Halo and his current stream around Fortnite, joins the pantheon of champions with 2017's winner, also a Halo player, Tony "Lethul" Campbell Jr.

Revisit the entire competition below, and we'll see you next year!
