I would say I'm definitely in a small minority of people who follows all the events, watches every uncoachable etc and I've been avid in the scene since the inauguration of Overwatch League but this new format is at the worse times (for me as a New Zealander) then ever before making the format impossible to follow.

You earned yourself a ride or die subscriber as a hugh OW esports fan this is whats REALLY needed

What’s the name of the song in the background ?

This is so detailed holy fuck I actually learnt a lot thanks to

OTPing LW for fun and my gf is a mercy main. we are both good at balancing damage/healing (as far as that goes for those two heroes) so with some time and consistency it can work. its not realistic though

I think OW players need to look at Apex Legends streamers and how much they stream scrims and competitions, it'd go so hard

WAIT A MINUTE SHES COOKING

Reason; OW2 /thread

what do you think of coach cuffy

"here's why"? Maybe blizzard nuking the owl? Like what do you mean

The format isn't the problem same format in many other esports with high success

This might sound mean but it comes from at good place. Why are you argueing about becoming more like owl when that failed with so much more investment then we are gonna get for owcs, I loved owl but why do we have to reapet it? Lets give other formats and things a try, an open landscape like cs have or dota used to have would be increadibly to see in ow (its what we had before owl and its mostly rememberd fodly with apex as its crowing jewl). We cant expact blizzard to help us or save us when they have reapedly showed us they dont understand how to make a good esports product, ow, starcraft and heros of the storm being exampels of their failure, and why should blizzard help make pros salary better. Yes its better for the sport if more player are getting payed better but its not like contanders or open division teams hade huge bags of cash, esports roots are that its only for glory people used to spend more money than they made too come and play at an event why cant we try too make ow grow as a grass roots esports, why should blizzard have the keys to the castle when they are incompetent. Let third partys run the space, its worked for so many other esports why does we have to be different when its not working, owl failed owcs gonna fail and we still dont learn. Its sad how we are the laughting stock of the esports world and yet we dont seam to care about changing

don’t you ever… EVER… say goat made a mistake again… 😡😤

really good vid man keep it up

Round Trip from Pittsburg to Dallas is like $430 - even on cheaper airlines like Frontier. You do realize travel involves more than just the flight (flight, lodging, transportation at location, food, etc.) and that airplane and hotel prices change like the stock market, right? If an OWCS event is happening in Dallas, then every hotel near the venue will raise their prices in anticipation of it and that will fan out into a wider area. The same thing happens all the time for events here. I can't find a single airline selling tickets for $200 round trip to Dallas out of any major metro area in this country. Even New Orleans is a $300 ticket. Maybe Houston? I didn't check those, because most people in Houston would just Drive to Dallas.

Sigma.

competition would increase too if everyone posted scrims

Getting rid of OWL imo was a mistake like what are we even doing?

i swear this kind of video shouldn't exist. What are we countering here ? one of many heroes of a game, or the fucking final boss ? Mauga is a mistake and shouldn't require that many steps to defeat him.

Ive never struggled fighting mauga. I honestly fond him as one of my favorites to fight against. Now i am a sigma and jq main so that could be why

Xzodial BEST!!!! Winer

Whats a flex dps?

My go-to as Rein is to get in his face, wait for him to pop Cardiac, and then ride that out from behind my shield until it stops. Once that’s gone I’m a pin and 3 hammer swings away from a kill.

My brother mains support, he claims everytime we play any competitive game it’s the role. He’s done this for 15 years at this point, can I get some likes for how long he’s ran this role? 💜

is this just a series of shorts or did you make pull this from a full form video?

Idk how overwatch devs see this and think it’s balanced. 😂

The names are just arbitrary. There are A heroes and B heroes, and having 2 As or 2Bs is usually not optimal. That's literally it.

Yeah just go Mauga or zarya. Works every time. I did it yesterday and completely denied him.

I feel like they just don't care about esports much, production quality is also quite bad

Ocie's analysis is just on another level

fantastic video really exciting and informative ty ❤❤

i just want an owcs for my region 😢

Do not post ewc video Believe me you will get so much hate I'm saying that for you.

Random idea. The winning teams get to issue one champion skin per player, which they can sell for a ton of money and offers great publicity.

I like playing Dps, but I'll probably never use any of those in my games lol

In other words: it was a mistake to end the Overwatch League

Thought this was gonna be clickbaity and say some obvious things, but no. Genuinely really good and insightful video. I hope change comes.

Amazing video! I liked watching the Asia Quali but nothing more than that as I got confused how and what was gonna happen next, and you highlight the problem excellently. I did however like the recap/explanation after each match on what the strat was and all that As for sustainable income for content creators, I think it's also important to have the orgs for the teams get sponsors and advertise their team with them, do silly things and all that stuff ( similar to F1 has their drivers do tiktok n try to make them more personal to the viewer ) In addition, I haven't seen any of this happen but a short best moments or highlights of a match uploaded on the Esports channel of OW or the teams could go a long way too! ( I have to guess content creators sorta do this already but an official one would be nice and easy to access ) Ofc if the highlights would be shown in game or launcher, that would help as well, so people can quickly catch up on what's next instead of the hour long matches.

Lol no. Dont tell people to learn genji

i take it u don't like sojourn or smth like that

the fact that average OWL viewership was at least 25k with maybe 5k~ of genuine fans and not token farmers while OWCS Stage 3 only has 2k> viewers says a lot. Teams are always changing and disbanding. Its hard to connect to any teams because you dont know if their going to implode the next stage. There needs to be something done.

The one thing I really like about the new system is that it really opened the door for a much more diverse player pool. Koreans largely dominated OWL and OWCS has given a huge rise to a lot of European players. NA however still seems lacking through a multitude of factors (higher costs of living, Discord messages getting leaked, noticeable skill gaps on roles like tank and MS, etc).

Awkward sped up sound lowkey like jerma lol

They need to ADVERTISE. Why do they do nothing? 😂

I dont care. Moira and Lifeweaver have the most healing output when i place them, and theyre easy to play. If Im not on support, not my problem, people are still going to die 👍

Really interesting content. I hope Bliz can implement simple mecanisms to transit between the game and the esport (in-game links to matches, in-game pro teams' customization..). Having in-game teams customization can help pro team to support their financial issues. I'm french and I miss having a real cast FR which I had with OWL (thanks to Paris Eternal); now it's only co-stream which is less entertaining to watch. One good thing for OWCS is that EMEA players have more opportunities to play at T1 (OWL was almost only composed of KR/NA). OW is a really good game and I love watching OW esport but now Blizz/FaceIT need to put some effort to improve their product.

what low elo take it should be echo tracer cass soj and widow

You forgot the main step: try not to cry when mauga appears

the japan and korea format is actually quite good imo. a lot of ppl don’t agree with me on that but like… it just is
