Overwatch: Incredible 2vs6 victory excites thousands

When 4 players leave the match in Overwatch , you might as well give up. Or not? This video shows how you can still win 2vs6.

Overwatch is a game where fairness and tactical skill are important elements. Both teams consist of 6 players, and if one player is missing from a side, a victory is hardly to be expected. All the more impressive is a clip by Zacarooney15 in the Overwatch subreddit. Here he shows how two players can still achieve victory against a superior force of 6 players.

Here’s how the players did it: The match seemed hopeless. It was played on the map Hanamura and the team was already broken. Three players had already left the match and the fourth was just about to. To capture and win the control point, the last two players, CokedBread17 (Winston) and MaliciousBiscuit (Brigitte), would need to take the control point to over 60% – nearly impossible against a full group of 6 players.

But they coordinated through voice chat and strategized. Brigitte had her ultimate ready, and the opposing team became overconfident. Instead of protecting the control point, they attacked and wanted to eliminate the two remaining players right at their spawn point.

Brigitte activated her ultimate and distracted them while Winston sneaked around from the side and made his way to the control point. While Brigitte got 2 kills, the opposing team slowly realized what was happening – but it was too late. Just as the battle was won for the duo, the enemy Pharah reached the control point.

The chances of victory were extremely low: Of course, it is clear that such a victory will not always be successful, most likely even in the rarest cases. However, it can occur that the opposing team becomes arrogant because they only have to fight against a small number of enemies. But this arrogance can cost them the win – and those who do not even try to take advantage of this cannot win either.

By the way, Overwatch now has “Hero Pools”, which are supposed to make the league more exciting.

Much praise on Reddit: This clip is celebrated in the Overwatch subreddit. With over 17,000 upvotes and several gildings, it is one of the most popular posts in the Overwatch subreddit. The comments below also praise the video and the ambition of the two players. For example, it says:

“This could be the best video I have ever seen in this subreddit. Awesome.”
“Perfect. Overwatch is a game of strategy and you had the best strategy. Well-deserved victory.”
“In 3 years of Overwatch, I have never seen anything like this. Haha, gg!”
