Incredible that we were able to hear directly from the best Tracer player in the world on the Toronto Defiant
@@pxnzr6940 proper is arguably the best player in the world with an insane amount of flexibility, but on purely the tracer 1v1 Kev is a little ahead
Hero specific tips from Pros. Now this is content I've been needing
I've been playing Tracer in the metal ranks for years but the tips in this video really had a noticeable impact on my impact and gameplay. The couple that stood out to me were:
1. Create space - force the enemy to make a choice - turn and deal with you or ignore and die. Do this by being BEHIND.
2. Don't force kills - Being annoying is good enough. Force cooldowns. (Links to #1)
3. Value your life (Links to #2)
4. Timing engages - you might have to be the fight initiator if its not a dive composition. Be prepared to vary your play style.
5. Maximise uptime - constantly create pressure without being forced out too early (Links to #2, #3, #4)
6. Use healthpacks - Tracer positioning means likely little to no help from supports. Knowing where the packs are means not having to be forced to use recall
Trying to learn and applying the above meant that I was still dying a lot. But it also helped me contextualise WHY I died. Its typically because I executed one of the above poorly. To just add on some generally good advice:
7. Don't waste cooldowns - pulse + autopilot recall, blinking for the sake of it etc.
8. Have an escape route or an alternative plan - once the enemy has your attention, you're one shot away from getting deleted. (links to point #2)
9. Win more duels with proper trigger discipline and good movement.
@@boonsee7909 You're welcome ;) It was also for my personal notes, thought I'd do the community a favour :)
would love to see more of this kinda stuff, great video
This was amazing! Could we possibly see this with other heroes/roles in the future?
Love the hero specific guides here, definitely would love more tank ones.
hydron one of the most underrated players rn, rlly think he could be S tier + next season
great content
Hey Spilo, I loved your analysis on the leaked scrim between toronto and glads. There have been more leaked scrims such as Houston vs Spark and Eternal vs Titans. Are you willing to make video's about those too sometime? I personally have greatly improved my teamplay and timing because of that scrim video. Houston vs Spark Map 1 = QJWC8Z / Houston vs Spark Map 2 = KAP6V6 / Titans vs Eternal = MARC18
now this is spicy
good stuff
Love hydron
Hydron is very good, when he hit his peak he was a top 5 sojourn, on top of that he proved himself on widow tracer etc. Very promising. In the scrim Vs glads he looked very impressive as imo as the best dps on his team and better than Kai.
🐐
What rank is the gameplay?
I am unfamiliar with what the work marking means in overwatch. It's a bit confusing to me.
I was for the longest time lol. It just means to keep your attention on someone / pressuring them
@@Zackary_ I thought it meant like shooting them from a non-kill range as tracer so you're tickling or doing poke damage to them as opposed to hard dueling them. I could be wrong.
@@Zackary_ correct. The term is used in sports like basketball and football too.
I am not pro coach but basically its shooting someone with the primary goal of not letting them do what they want to do not really to get kills, if for example u mark a Tracer ur shooting her so that she can’t make dive happen cause she has to focus on u not to die, the goal is not to get the kill, it’s great if u do but that’s not the reasoning for marking, another thing with marking is that u usually do it to the same target/targets every fight this how I have come to understand the term hope it helps
whats up pilo wold love to share with a you a game had about 46Kills and about 10 death , lost sadly ... would really love to see what are your prespective on it on what i could of done better , im tipacally a GM player i peaked at 4.4 in Overwatch 1 and yeah thats a little about my back ground , im very open minded to get better . just wondering what i could of done better , if you like to see the game let me know , and yes you can use it for a video .
I feel like you kinda had to pull his tongue. Great video nonetheless!
Mechanically this tracer is good , so yea positioning at the right times is what he needs

Best tracer in the world is crazy to call yourself.
Bro i still dont understand. like the first map u said tracer need to go for the backline but the second map u said tracer dont go for backline and go for ememy ball and tracer, it confused me. Is because the difference between we have get the point and we dont get the point? Like if we got the point, we play the defence style? IDK man, i still think maybe we should do a little thing about there backline
Hydron along with you will lose in a 1v tracer mirror. You also can't beat me in a race up the biggest hill in Los Angeles; the only person to regularly run from the bottom of San Pedro to the summit of Palos Verdes, the best gamer, Praised
First
What Rank is this?
The Tracer player is obviously 6:57 making mistakes! Too many
I had to stop because it felt like I was losing brain cells watching this game play XD bro just looked new to the game and like he didn’t know what to do
Taking Tracer tips from this guy... Haha.
love the confidence but bro is not better than lip, kevster, leave, hell san fran has two better tracer players in Proper and Striker. But hey im excited to see if ill eat my words this season
He said top player on the Defiant, I think it was a joke. Bit of a meme that they don't have a Tracer player.
