12:28 It's weird to think that some of the newer OW players probably are confused by not only the team comps in some of these clips, but also the fact that something like a Brig switching to Widow could ever happen in a pro game. The good old days
@@jonjim7897 he's still close to top 10. Also the Korean reign isn't over, while it's somewhat contested at the very top levels, tier 2 means 2 different things to Koreans and Americans
@@joshuafelten6967 because brig is usually in the pack with the others when they are pushing like that, also if the enemies saw that there were a window they would not have been in the open field like that and the trick would not have worked. Here they thought everyone was flanking without being able to see if there was a brig with them
2:44 whenever I watch that clip I get soo mad for no reason that the commentator said he missed the helix rocket even though Jake shot it on purpose to knock the genji to the other side.
To be fair, at maybe a quick glance, it looks like he missed until you realize his intention. You have to remember that they were commentating a lot of action really quickly.
The guy that predicted Surefour switching to Widow is an absolute legend. Bet Surefour was a bit trembling from the excitement that their plans actually worked out so well. The entire flank exposed to a Widow like that… I miss OW so much. Back when the hype was so freaking high. So many teams and cups and leagues… all killed by Blizz and their doomed League. GGWP.
@@nishhx_x basically the gladiators hid a powerful dps player in spawn as Brigitte, a hero known to stick with the team in close combat. And the five team members ran quickly past the enemy without engaging, which made the enemy team rotate positions to face the next attack. Then the Brigitte hidden in spawn switches to widowmaker, while the enemy is not aware of the threat, and boom boom free kills.
Apex was epic. It had the best meta too. 60% of the time dive was played, but then on some maps it would be hitscans with Rein/Zarya and off pick heroes were still viable like Mei. Simple, straightforward meta that allowed for creativity, high skill, and big brained strats.
It could be in a much worse spot ... I don't think league is quite as huge, but the game is about as fun as it ever has been... (There's always at least 1 annoyingly op something...)
Dva ejects and her mech takes a moment to be removed from the map, within that moment dva can be killed first bfor the mech is removed and that's how she can come up in the kill feed first. It happens all the time
Jazbeez nah it wouldn’t become meta for a month or two after that match was played, at that point it was a comp that only one team was running in tier 2 with a few others beginning to practice etc
The meta was still sorta in fluctuation at that point, and goats was really strong while not necessarily meta. When Zarya and Lucio were buffed it became meta, moving away from double sniper
@11:13, Did Lunatic even notice they did that? It defs looked cool if you were spectating but the result was the same as if they went high ground anyway. They would've ended up at the same place, albiet less risk getting picked in that opening on the highground hallway
My favorite play of all time was the shadowburn one on Dorado where he kills their entire team and deflects mcrees dead eye after dashing right up to his face
I've never watched competitive, so I'm not familiar with these players, but going through the comments people are saying that was on purpose (to help teammates) and that player has done it before.
The number 2 play should not even be top 50 imo. Like, they could've just yknow, walked thru the building... Going over did nothing but waste Wall and Amp. But hey, good for them.
I have a couple I think should be here Taimous team kill on 1 HP And the ice wall hananura attack When a team teleported a bastion onto hananura point 2 high ground And when they also did it onto illios well high ground
I remember that last one with the widow switcheroo - one of my favourite surefour plays along with the one where he was the mei and they used her to sneak around to the cafe high ground on Hollywood A
The Carpe + EQO 2v5 is incredible! Striker (on Pharah) played that so well, did all the right things and they were still wrecked! Excellent video overall :)
As a new OW player, can someone explain the Great Bamboozle in the last clip? I've seen this posted before but I don't understand why it's so revered? Did the brig pretend to be AFK and then switched to Widow and killed 2 people? It really doesn't seem that crazy so I don't get the hype
The attacking team pushed forward as a tight group but left one player at spawn letting the other team think they were all there. On top of that the one player left behind stayed on Brig until their team started attacking so the defending team wouldn’t have time to notice that they switch to Widow so they were more lax with taking cover On TOP of that the Widow killed the opposing Widow first you can even see them search for them so they would be uncontested and have free reign to pick off the enemy team while their team ran through them at the same time Pretty shnasty strategy that could only work once
6 out of the 25 clips here are from NYXL, 3 from Jjonak and 3 from Pine specifically. Oh, to reminisce the good old NYXL... such a fond memory for me. How I miss the old NYXL. Look how far NYXL has fallen... their glory days will only remain as memories to me.
Could you imagine having never played or watched Overwatch and see this video and being like wtf is going on

People loved to shit on jake, but tbf his gamesense was top tier.

Ya’ll were okay.

I’ll never forget the moment I heard “can you get over the roof there?”
At first I was like "NO WAY one can do an accurate top OW plays". But this list is pretty solid.
That last play is what made the game great. 6v6 and no role lock. The good old days
"A day at the shooting range" is probably one of the best lines from gaming.
Mitch is SO GOOD at his job. Never fails

Big boss pines was easily my favorite it was just him solo killing entire teams for his clips
So basically overwatch esports is Korea simulator
