Profit

Early Success and APEX Championship

Park Joon-yeong began his professional Overwatch career in April 2017 with the Korean team GC Busan. He became known in OGN APEX Season 4, South Korea's premier tournament series at the time. The team's path to the finals included a semifinal victory over Cloud 9 KongDoo, setting up a championship match against RunAway.

The finals were a closely contested best-of-seven series. Profit's individual performance was extraordinary, as he recorded 134 kills throughout the series. This total was 44 more than any other player in the match, against only 55 deaths. His efforts were instrumental in GC Busan's 4-3 victory to claim the OGN APEX Season 4 championship. For his dominant display, he was named the APEX Finals Most Valuable Player.

Profit and GC Busan secured another major title later in 2017 by winning the APAC Premier in China. Once again, they defeated RunAway in the finals, confirming Profit's reputation as a player who delivered in high-pressure matches and establishing him as a top talent ahead of the Overwatch League's formation.

Building a Legacy with London Spitfire

In November 2017, the entire GC Busan roster was signed by Cloud9 to become the London Spitfire for the inaugural Overwatch League season. Profit's OWL debut included an early incident where he was fined $1,000 for making an offensive gesture on camera during a match. He publicly apologized, explaining the gesture was a reaction to a joke from teammates off-camera.

His on-server performance quickly became the story. The Spitfire reached the Stage 1 Finals, where they defeated the New York Excelsior 3-2. In that playoff run, Profit participated in 38.2 percent of his team's kills, a higher rate than any other player. By the conclusion of the 2018 regular season, statistical analysis showed he was the highest-rated damage player across all heroes in the league.

The Spitfire advanced through the 2018 season playoffs, beating the Los Angeles Gladiators and the Los Angeles Valiant. In those two matches, Profit averaged 8,790 damage per 10 minutes, a figure second only to Philadelphia Fusion player Eqo among all playoff participants. This set the stage for the Grand Finals against the Fusion.

The 2018 Grand Finals and MVP Performance

The 2018 Overwatch League Grand Finals pitted Profit's London Spitfire against the Philadelphia Fusion. The Spitfire won the series in two convincing maps, with scores of 3-1 and 3-0. Profit's performance was notable, featuring numerous highlight plays that defined the series.

One of the most memorable moments occurred on the map Volskaya Industries. Playing Tracer, Profit secured five final blows in the last 93 seconds of the map, a display of skill that secured a 1-0 lead for London in the best-of-three series. This clutch play exemplified his ability to take over a game at its most critical juncture.

For his contributions throughout the finals, Profit was named the Grand Finals Most Valuable Player. As a core member of the league's first champion team, his place was confirmed. In recognition of his role in building the franchise, the London Spitfire officially retired his number 13 jersey on January 15, 2020.

Leadership and Records with Seoul Dynasty

On October 22, 2019, Profit was transferred to the Seoul Dynasty along with teammates Gesture and Bdosin. Returning to a Korean-based team, he continued to achieve milestones. During the 2020 season, he became the first player in Overwatch League history to reach 10,000 total eliminations.

With Profit as a consistent starter, the Dynasty made a deep playoff run in 2020, ultimately reaching the Grand Finals. There, they were defeated 4-2 by the San Francisco Shock. His success continued into the 2022 season, where he helped Seoul win the Kickoff Clash, the first midseason tournament. The Dynasty defeated the Philadelphia Fusion in the finals to claim the title.

Profit's individual excellence in 2022 was recognized with a Role Star commendation, and he was a finalist for the league's regular season Most Valuable Player award. During the season playoffs, after a loss to the Dallas Fuel, the Dynasty made a surprising strategic decision. They started Profit on the support hero Kiriko for their next match against the San Francisco Shock, despite his primary role being damage. The role switch did not lead to a victory, and the Dynasty were eliminated from the playoffs. Following the end of the Overwatch League, the Seoul Dynasty released its entire roster in October 2023.

Retirement Announcement and Subsequent Return

On February 20, 2024, Profit announced his retirement from professional esports. This announcement appeared to conclude the career of one of Overwatch's most accomplished players. However, his competitive drive persisted.

In 2026, Profit returned to the professional scene, coming out of retirement to compete in the Overwatch Champions Series. He joined the Korean team Cheeseburger, demonstrating his continued commitment to competing at a high level. This return added a new chapter to his long and decorated career in the game.

Playing Style and Lasting Impact

Profit's playing style was defined by high mechanical skill, particularly on damage heroes like Tracer, and a proven ability to perform under pressure. His career statistics, such as his record eliminations and high damage output, reflect a consistently effective player. Beyond numbers, he is remembered for moments that decided championships, from his 134-kill performance in APEX to his final blows in the OWL Grand Finals.

His career arc traces the development of professional Overwatch itself, from the Korean tournament circuit through the entire lifespan of the Overwatch League. Awards like the APEX Finals MVP and OWL Grand Finals MVP bookend a tenure marked by success at every level. Even his brief, unsuccessful experiment playing Kiriko in 2022 highlighted a team-first attitude. As a player who competed for nearly a decade, winning major titles and individual honors, Profit's name remains synonymous with excellence in Overwatch esports.
