Korea are the favourites to win the world cup by far, in this video we break down their incredible plays! Let us know what you think to these amazing players and how you think someone could beat them!
Humayun S But the real questions are... Is Kim Jong Un playing on the team? And if so, how legendarily good is he at the game? After all, at age 3 he scored 53 holes in one in a row, so overwatch should be a breeze for him.
This video is absolutely epic. Please do more analysis of Pro and World teams like this -- though some of the strategy and otherwise that's used in these games doesn't always apply to those of us trying to climb the ladder, more knowledge of the ways in which these players have obtained the mastery of their roles and their synergies with the team composition seems like a surefire way to get all of us hopeful rookies stepping up in the right direction. Keep it up, fam!
This are the best types of videos that you guys do. Keep up the good work and keep breaking down matches from the OWWC. Seeing how these teams work together and getting a good analysis of their work is something that is definitely needed!
@youroverwatch I love these competitive break down videos, the slow motion for following the counter strat against the pharah was incredible and I just want to say I really enjoy your content. Even though I disagree with 99% of your opinion videos these pro league break downs are incredible, keep it up.
Please please please do more videos like this. I'm obsessed with military strategy and that has transferred and morphed in with my love for Overwatch into this glorious video.
Great video! I hope there are more top-level strategic videos like this. Hero videos are great but overwatch is not a single hero game. The only legitimate way to think about strategy is in a holistic, complex manner, which takes into account the map, ult combinations, etc.
I watched your video "Overwatch: Who You SHOULD Target - Advanced Guide" and I loved it. it would be incredible to a lot of people's games (who don't know attacking stratagies) if you would continue this guide and updates on meta and different combinations while blizzard continuously updates heroes.
I signed up for a Korean class at my local community college and they were teaching things that didn't interest me. But this is the video that finally taught me how to be Korean. Thank You, Your Overwatch.
I think the way you could possibly break this Kings Row defense is by moving the whole team around the whole point and into the house at the back of the point. From there you can get the whole team onto the point and brawl it out with a reaper and possibly even a mei blocking the doors to the hotel.
Great video, so great I even posted it to my social media which I never do. The value of this video is that it shows how deep Overwatch can be. Though I have to admit the title is very misleading.
2 things i noticed while watching the games by SoKor.1. Ryu's ana is godly with the sleep timing. I think it was the nertherland's genji who at every attempt of a dragon blade gets sleeped. It got to the point where the genji player was holding on to his blade for a long period of time.2. I forget which fight it was but i think it was on kings row. As the attackers jumped in, the squishies hid with obly rein out. He then drops his shield and got bubbled by zarya. Rein bubbled gets a few hit and right before the bubble ends, zarya walks in to the line of fire and bubbled. Got almost a full chagre from a 50 from that play.
The main thing is Korea understands their role and use strategies that are synergistic to the team comp. If you have ever played magic the gathering and have compiled your own deck you will understand this concept.
So... they're more open to certain picks due to expanded knowledge/experience from those picks being used more often while in the west those picks are shunned and people don't choose them often gaining little to no experience battling them
They have mastery of the games basics, which even some of the grandmasters don't. You don't need to be the best player in the world on a certain hero to win every game. You just need to understand the ins and outs of the games mechanics. Mistakes like rushing to the point alone to contest it when it's not even 5% capped on your own instead of grouping up with the team, overextending and flanking alone, using ultimates in a fight you've already lost, putting yourself in the way of certain death just to prevent the opponents from getting a single tick - only few of the mistakes players make even at the highest levels of play. In some cases playing a hero you are very good with leads to a loss, just because you feel like an overconfident solo-carry. This often leads to toxicity from players with several golds who think their team is doing nothing while they are in every fight alone. Good teamwork matters more than being skilled with your pick most of the time.
i really enjoy watching south korea getting carried by their supports and zunba as an off tank , which completely the opposite in other regions getting carried by DPSes
Is it weird to say that Korea looks susceptible to rookie moves used against them? Pharah Concussive Blast to break up death-ball, Tandum sniper poke battle, Ice Wall to close a choke, etc. I know deep down I'm wrong, but I'm feeling in my gut that creativity would shake things up.
I don't think we should be analyzing SK against shit teams at World Cup where they are pretty much dicking around if you want to see Koreans trying watch the apex finals
Russia is a shit team in comparison lol. Most world cup teams are not as good as real teams because of limited practice time. South Korea is made up of a core of half Lunatic Hai and half LW Blue, both of which are top tier teams that will beat any western ones and the players on both teams are close friends so they already had good synergy. France has probably the highest chance to take a single map off Korea of any team because they are the entire roster of Rogue, but even then their "highest chance" is like 25% maybe. If you want to watch the most competitive Overwatch in the world watch the Apex season 3 finals between LH and KDP. English streams are on the OGNGlobal twitch.
Well in regards to that UFC comment, BJJ only dominated in the early days of MMA. Now, the most effective way to win is to combine many forms of fighting that work well together which you obviosly cant do in Overwatch
"nobody has even gotten a single *tick* against South Korea." /Gameplay showed in the background shows Netherlands getting a single tick against South Korea
So DoomFist won't be useless if they do nerf him they should add where if you hit someone if drops them to 150 or 100 depending on hard the hit. If you hit someone into wall again depending on how you hit it should send them to 50. Being so low he can pick them off with a some effort.
Thekillerbeats Not everyone likes to hear other people talk in the game. Us console players have to understand that most people who play on console are casual. Those who take the game seriously like you and I are the minority
Yeah, people who talk about how they are children and get shitted on on voice chat should not even be playing OW, and if your voice is squeaky then just dont talk, i dont play on console but thats nice
Said "not giving up MORE than a tick" which means they did give up a tick. They do so on purpose -- which was a point made in the video _giving up_ the objective.
Self destruct also is good against nano blade as Eva outs and everyone stays around it forcing genii to go or potentially sacrifice his life idk I'm in gold but it works here so try it maybe?
I would bring a split approach to their Kings row defense. I would send a Lucio, orisa, and bastion to the top right high ground. Then send my second healer (flexible) a Reinhardt and a second dps to the point after the bastion pressure has forced them off the point to cover their positioning. Then they are forced to be on the offense against a dubble barrier bastion defense with them in awful positioning to deal with it.
South Korea is smart enough to understand that dive is what they can expect from basically every opponent. Counter it and win easy. It will take a team going way off meta and coordinating to counter them with flexibility on every swap.
At first I thought it was going to be a joke video about trying to make your team as good as South Koreas. Then I realized it was a serious video about trying to make your team as good as South Koreas.
I'm going to be in south korea starting september 7th for a week. Anyone know if there's any tournament play there during that time? I'd love to see the korean overwatch players play live and in person.
South Korea is better in general because they remember that it's the healers and tanks that carry the game, not the DPS. At the end of the day, staying alive and getting on point is more important than getting kills. Their DPS doesn't overreach or showboat the way Western DPS "stars" do. Their stars are supports and healers, and their entire six man team works together as a team as opposed to Western comps trying to adjust to their star DPS. That's why they win every time. Also they respect support and tank roles in ways Western players fail to.
Everyone in team Korea knows how to play every hero...meaning they are actually all Flex players and dont really need to rely on condition of other players. They can swap out the roles at any time...thats the scary part and the ultimate strength of this team, imo
A good junkrat DOES counter any dive comp imo. If you can master your one shot + mine combo you can kill anything that dives you, technically quicker than doomfists punch even can.
They just play unusual pics really well. Next time you're in a GM or top500 game, watch those unusual pics; the torb orisa mei whoever. I've won top500 games with 5dps and 1 mercy multiple times. The enemy team simply doesn't know how to handle it and never stops pushes or successfully pushes.
Watching this I 'member a pretty funny situation on a Teamspeak server a couple of years ago: Rudeman: "Dude, what are you talking about? I've got multiple smurfs with highest rank, won several tournaments and still wreck butt. Who do you think you are?!" Me: "Well,... I have sex." Teamspeak breaks out in laughter except for one person...
Meta basically just means what is the most op team build in the game and easiest way to win, where as koreans just try to get better at the game not take advantage of "meta" this is what makes them better
South kore basicly saying fuck you to meta, mains, one tricks, etc they should have a line that says something like: make your own meta, something like that
I'm not a pro player but I think it's safe to say that using an attack junkrat on kings row is an easy way to break a junkrat defense. If they have strong shields, just break them with superior firepower. Junkrat is good at holding the hotel but he's also the best at evicting it. And nobody will run a mercy without a pharah in the pro scene so tire kills are final
ummuser but couldn't south koreas Zarya simply feed off of the junkrats damage and while her shields are down rein can eat damage with his shield, and whenever the actual heroes take damage they can be speed boosted away or something else??
Korea are the favourites to win the world cup by far, in this video we break down their incredible plays!
Let us know what you think to these amazing players and how you think someone could beat them!
If they ran a pro sombra strat and used that to neuteralize sk to move in on the point for example
Its a shame those of us who think about team synergies have to wait for Korean teams to show them before NA will think about using them
Your Overwatch can we please get a junkrat advanced guide with the new updates??
Your Overwatch
There is one team that would smash South Korea easily.
NORTH KOREA
Humayun S But the real questions are... Is Kim Jong Un playing on the team? And if so, how legendarily good is he at the game? After all, at age 3 he scored 53 holes in one in a row, so overwatch should be a breeze for him.
There's 3 genders in overwatch:
1.male
2.female
3.South Korean
Dabula *also FREEDO
4. Memer
5. Overwatch Guide TH-camr
Matthew Elam she's from North Korea
Dabula THAT'S RACIST
Deerek Ng what no she is from south korea. . .
Can we just make a dream team of the best non Korean players around the world to face them? I just want to see somebody beat them.
C4RNAGE so basically if envyus and rogue merged
Gary Song nrg, cloud9,...?
Dragonwinq - Overwatch Content c9? Lul. And iddqd is the only decent one on brg but would get his spot taken by taimou
Me.
I doubt they would be able to beat the koreans tbh
This video is absolutely epic. Please do more analysis of Pro and World teams like this -- though some of the strategy and otherwise that's used in these games doesn't always apply to those of us trying to climb the ladder, more knowledge of the ways in which these players have obtained the mastery of their roles and their synergies with the team composition seems like a surefire way to get all of us hopeful rookies stepping up in the right direction.
Keep it up, fam!
This are the best types of videos that you guys do. Keep up the good work and keep breaking down matches from the OWWC. Seeing how these teams work together and getting a good analysis of their work is something that is definitely needed!
Freedo has so much knowledge and can breakdown vods so well. I hope Freedo uploads more videos on this channel!
This is honestly the most enlightening video I've seen from you guys in months, mind-blowing stuff!
@youroverwatch I love these competitive break down videos, the slow motion for following the counter strat against the pharah was incredible and I just want to say I really enjoy your content. Even though I disagree with 99% of your opinion videos these pro league break downs are incredible, keep it up.
Thank you for making these freedo
I love these to death
#1 tip on being a pro korean!
Be korean.
Please please please do more videos like this. I'm obsessed with military strategy and that has transferred and morphed in with my love for Overwatch into this glorious video.
Your vids are so informative and I appreciate that
This was very insightful, thanks freedo!
The way the Koreans play overwatch is an art form
Great video! I hope there are more top-level strategic videos like this. Hero videos are great but overwatch is not a single hero game. The only legitimate way to think about strategy is in a holistic, complex manner, which takes into account the map, ult combinations, etc.
I watched your video "Overwatch: Who You SHOULD Target - Advanced Guide" and I loved it. it would be incredible to a lot of people's games (who don't know attacking stratagies) if you would continue this guide and updates on meta and different combinations while blizzard continuously updates heroes.
thanks for another one of the korean videos! i think they r very intuitive and interesting, much luv
Been looking forward to this one!
So basically play as a team and pick your character wisely
Edris the true OW meta.
Harperd5 it doesn't happen often tho people don't set their ego aside to play for the team. Instalock 4 dps and refuse to switch :L
for real
I signed up for a Korean class at my local community college and they were teaching things that didn't interest me. But this is the video that finally taught me how to be Korean. Thank You, Your Overwatch.
These video was amazing more of this please
I'm already Korean. Now I need to learn how to be a pro
but you are not korean native people
I think the way you could possibly break this Kings Row defense is by moving the whole team around the whole point and into the house at the back of the point. From there you can get the whole team onto the point and brawl it out with a reaper and possibly even a mei blocking the doors to the hotel.
Great video as always. Thanks for the greay content
Great video, so great I even posted it to my social media which I never do. The value of this video is that it shows how deep Overwatch can be. Though I have to admit the title is very misleading.
"South Korea's pro team is the final boss of Overwatch".... Truer words have never been said.
2 things i noticed while watching the games by SoKor.1. Ryu's ana is godly with the sleep timing. I think it was the nertherland's genji who at every attempt of a dragon blade gets sleeped. It got to the point where the genji player was holding on to his blade for a long period of time.2. I forget which fight it was but i think it was on kings row. As the attackers jumped in, the squishies hid with obly rein out. He then drops his shield and got bubbled by zarya.

The main thing is Korea understands their role and use strategies that are synergistic to the team comp. If you have ever played magic the gathering and have compiled your own deck you will understand this concept.
error while following these *#1 STRATS*
parents aint korean...
You should do a question series, where the viewers can ask gameplay, strategy, or news related questions, like Matim0's sunday mailbox
Nice breakdown and I like the comparison between Koreas style and bjj. It really is a necessary part of all styles.
if the pharah used her concussion blast she could have displaced the rein giving them a good pick to push and clear
So... they're more open to certain picks due to expanded knowledge/experience from those picks being used more often while in the west those picks are shunned and people don't choose them often gaining little to no experience battling them
They have mastery of the games basics, which even some of the grandmasters don't. You don't need to be the best player in the world on a certain hero to win every game.

Papa Freedo. You have returned!!!
Roses are red
Violets are blue
There's always an Asian
Better than you
Brings up bjj in mma being the most successful style when legit every single champ at the moment is either a striker and/or wrestler, lmao.
Doesn't the Korean team regularly train together while most countries' teams are randomly assembled players?
Thanks YourOverwatch
step 1: be pro
step 2 : be Korean
now if the title was " How to PLAY like a pro Korean" then we would be getting somewhere
i really enjoy watching south korea getting carried by their supports and zunba as an off tank , which completely the opposite in other regions getting carried by DPSes
Can u do more of these I love overwatch esports and it would be cool to have my favorite overwatch channel cover them. Just something to think about
Is it weird to say that Korea looks susceptible to rookie moves used against them? Pharah Concussive Blast to break up death-ball, Tandum sniper poke battle, Ice Wall to close a choke, etc. I know deep down I'm wrong, but I'm feeling in my gut that creativity would shake things up.
Great now to coordinate this with my whole comp team in 30 seconds
I don't think we should be analyzing SK against shit teams at World Cup where they are pretty much dicking around if you want to see Koreans trying watch the apex finals
>Against shit teams
Russia?
Russia is a shit team in comparison lol. Most world cup teams are not as good as real teams because of limited practice time. South Korea is made up of a core of half Lunatic Hai and half LW Blue, both of which are top tier teams that will beat any western ones and the players on both teams are close friends so they already had good synergy. France has probably the highest chance to take a single map off Korea of any team because they are the entire roster of Rogue, but even then their "highest chance" is like 25% maybe. If you want to watch the most competitive Overwatch in the world watch the Apex season 3 finals between LH and KDP. English streams are on the OGNGlobal twitch.
Australia too. But i'm not sure how good they'll be against france and south korea.
D3LT4 as an Aussie I'm surprised to see Australia being compared to Russia, let alone SK
Apex is where the real high quality games are
I'm sad the ending wasn't "where you can find the Korean main of your dreams."
Your review of APEX season 3 finals should be sweet.
This is the real scene in overwatch.
I think any top 8 apex teams could win the world cup.
Honestly it's impossible to beat those Asians. They're so hardcore!
its the smarts and choice making
There parents still make them do 3 hours of homework everyday.
Asrese Abel you'd better do your homework and improve your grammar
Thank you Your Overwatch because of your help i have now become a World #1 Pro Korean. :)
Freedo-No team has gotten a tick
Me-Looks at the game and they get a tick
Aadhi Aravind more than a tick i.e. two ticks
He said not more than a tick
Awesome video !!!!!!!!
Well in regards to that UFC comment, BJJ only dominated in the early days of MMA. Now, the most effective way to win is to combine many forms of fighting that work well together which you obviosly cant do in Overwatch
"nobody has even gotten a single *tick* against South Korea."
/Gameplay showed in the background shows Netherlands getting a single tick against South Korea
Great video! Getting philosophical here XD
does anyone know the crosshair settingd to that s.korean zarya ?
default?
Busra Duman Zunba use green circle (distance from center around 25-30, not sure)
my default doesn't look anything like this though??
Nice Vid!
Is there a video showing the teams physically playing? I want to hear how they communicate
So DoomFist won't be useless if they do nerf him they should add where if you hit someone if drops them to 150 or 100 depending on hard the hit. If you hit someone into wall again depending on how you hit it should send them to 50. Being so low he can pick them off with a some effort.
If North Korea ever joined the World Cup they would be a huge fucking blast.
Not a single tick has been taken against their point A kings row defense-literally shows a clip of netherlands taking a tick
Didn't u say not a single team could get a tick off of them in kicks row, and they already got a tick off....
We need forced game chat for console overwatch as I think it would help communication problems in the lower ranks
Thekillerbeats Not everyone likes to hear other people talk in the game. Us console players have to understand that most people who play on console are casual. Those who take the game seriously like you and I are the minority
How would you force game chat?
Thekillerbeats I can easily go make a party chat with my friends lol and I have 3 ways to mute my self sooooo...
Yeah, people who talk about how they are children and get shitted on on voice chat should not even be playing OW, and if your voice is squeaky then just dont talk, i dont play on console but thats nice
Rand0mst1cky just withhold lootboxes until gamechat on...lollll
3:00 Get a Mei in there with her Ultimate. Winston isn't gonna do jack on that defense btw.
More of these videos disscussing strats plz.
What happened to Miro?
I know how a team can have a chance. Give them total mayhem stats.
How he says Korea has not dropped a tick on kings row but he's showing a vod where they lose a tick 👍🏾👌
Said "not giving up MORE than a tick" which means they did give up a tick. They do so on purpose -- which was a point made in the video _giving up_ the objective.
i'd love more characters like zarya. where their strengths change over the course of the game.
K. You'll see me at next years World Cup.
Do more of these on the SK team plays. Full games if necessary.
South Korea makes me love watching overwatch esports they play a fun looking game
Let me guess good aim bad... wrong channel
Step 1: Be Korean
Step 2: Be alive
how to be top korean: you can't. nobody can surpass the great, almighty, supreme leader kim jong un.
Self destruct also is good against nano blade as Eva outs and everyone stays around it forcing genii to go or potentially sacrifice his life idk I'm in gold but it works here so try it maybe?
Didn't Kruise become a phenomenal Genji player after playing with Korean pros for a few months?
How to be pro Korean by being Korean simple
I would bring a split approach to their Kings row defense. I would send a Lucio, orisa, and bastion to the top right high ground. Then send my second healer (flexible) a Reinhardt and a second dps to the point after the bastion pressure has forced them off the point to cover their positioning.
Then they are forced to be on the offense against a dubble barrier bastion defense with them in awful positioning to deal with it.
Doing this completely ruins their tank swapping contesting approach because the damage will be too high to heal through.
South Korea is smart enough to understand that dive is what they can expect from basically every opponent. Counter it and win easy.
It will take a team going way off meta and coordinating to counter them with flexibility on every swap.
What about Poland taking King's Row 1st point from KR rather smoothly?
4:04 Just look at how korea swarms that winston after he jumps in. It's like they are of the same mind.
At first I thought it was going to be a joke video about trying to make your team as good as South Koreas.
Then I realized it was a serious video about trying to make your team as good as South Koreas.
YOU NEED TO get A DEGREE IN OVERWATCHHHH
I'm going to be in south korea starting september 7th for a week. Anyone know if there's any tournament play there during that time? I'd love to see the korean overwatch players play live and in person.
South Korea is better in general because they remember that it's the healers and tanks that carry the game, not the DPS. At the end of the day, staying alive and getting on point is more important than getting kills. Their DPS doesn't overreach or showboat the way Western DPS "stars" do. Their stars are supports and healers, and their entire six man team works together as a team as opposed to Western comps trying to adjust to their star DPS. That's why they win every time.
Also they respect support and tank roles in ways Western players fail to.
I don't even understand why we play public competitive anymore
Everyone in team Korea knows how to play every hero...meaning they are actually all Flex players and dont really need to rely on condition of other players. They can swap out the roles at any time...thats the scary part and the ultimate strength of this team, imo
A good junkrat DOES counter any dive comp imo. If you can master your one shot + mine combo you can kill anything that dives you, technically quicker than doomfists punch even can.
Please do an analysis on Lunatic-Hai vs MVP Space. Thanks!
What could have worked against that is playing Pharah and Junkrat to make the hotel inhabital
you stated no one has ever gotten a tick against the korean defense on Kings Row but the Netherlands just did in the video....
I heard that they play games every day
And I heard that they have things called 'PC rooms' where people could play popular games
They just play unusual pics really well. Next time you're in a GM or top500 game, watch those unusual pics; the torb orisa mei whoever. I've won top500 games with 5dps and 1 mercy multiple times. The enemy team simply doesn't know how to handle it and never stops pushes or successfully pushes.
No....no....Jeff is still the "Final Boss" of Overwatch.
he said no one has taken a tick, shows a match where they take first tick
"Not more than a single tick" was how it was worded :) -w
Watching this I 'member a pretty funny situation on a Teamspeak server a couple of years ago:
Rudeman: "Dude, what are you talking about? I've got multiple smurfs with highest rank, won several tournaments and still wreck butt. Who do you think you are?!"
Me: "Well,... I have sex."
Teamspeak breaks out in laughter except for one person...
Meta basically just means what is the most op team build in the game and easiest way to win, where as koreans just try to get better at the game not take advantage of "meta" this is what makes them better
4 minute squad where you at
South kore basicly saying fuck you to meta, mains, one tricks, etc they should have a line that says something like: make your own meta, something like that
Start posting more on your destiny
I'm not a pro player but I think it's safe to say that using an attack junkrat on kings row is an easy way to break a junkrat defense. If they have strong shields, just break them with superior firepower. Junkrat is good at holding the hotel but he's also the best at evicting it. And nobody will run a mercy without a pharah in the pro scene so tire kills are final
ummuser but couldn't south koreas Zarya simply feed off of the junkrats damage and while her shields are down rein can eat damage with his shield, and whenever the actual heroes take damage they can be speed boosted away or something else??
