This Overwatch League 2020 Season was rather mixed for Paris Eternal. The French team lost their match against Washington Justice during the Playoffs, ending their adventure at 8th place. However, the team performed well during the Overwatch League Regular Season, winning the Summer Showdown and finishing the season in the top four.
As the team is getting ready for 2021, the Paris Eternal is parting ways with Fielder, NoSmite and Smex. Releasing Fielder is a surprise, as the player kept delivering solid performances despite playing with high ping and in a different time zone than the rest of the team. NoSmite and Smex, both tank players, often warmed the bench since Han-been “Hanbin” Choi turned 18. The Korean player is on the starting six, alongside main tank player Benjamin “BenBest” Dieulafait.
🇬🇧 Official statement: Thanks for your hard work @nosmite1 . We wish you the best of luck in the future.#Fiatlux

The Paris Eternal is now down to seven players: Terence “SoOn” Tarlier, Nicolas “NiCOgdh” Moret, Yeong-han “SP9RK1E” Kim, Ki-hyo “Xzi” Jung as DPS players, Han-been “Hanbin” Choi and Benjamin “BenBest” Dieulafait at the tanking positions, and Brice “FDGod” Monsçavoir as a support to keep everyone alive.
