London Spitfire is the Champion of the Overwatch League, and the team has delivered great performances. You can benefit from this too – and learn a thing or two from the pros.
Successful Pros: London Spitfire is the first team to win the Overwatch League. In spectacular finals, they have crushed their opponents. They have demonstrated what it takes in Overwatch to win.
Learn from the Pros – Here’s How to Rank Up in Overwatch
You can observe the pros from the Overwatch League to improve your own skills. The pro gamers have more training and experience, but how they implement it is also useful for regular ranked matches.
Be a Team: For the pros, teamwork is always the top priority. They must work together as a team if they want to win – and they know this. Individual mistakes must be compensated, not criticized; this helps no one.
You can apply the same principle in Overwatch, especially through the new group-finder tool. Play with your group, perhaps even with fixed teammates, and act as a team, not as a collection of individual players.
Utilize common strengths and compensate for possible weaknesses from others. If necessary, also hold back so that the team or someone else can carry better.
Familiarize Yourself with the Meta: In the finals of the Overwatch League, it became particularly clear: Those who master the meta win. London Spitfire and Philadelphia Fusion received the lowest chances of winning from experts but ended up both in the finals.
London and Philadelphia mastered the sniper meta, which prevailed in the finals, better than all other teams. For you, this means: pay attention to how the meta develops, how the pros play. It may be worth switching from your beloved main and learning another hero if you want to rank up.
Observe the Opponent: Pros not only try to be better than the opponent, they also exploit their weaknesses. In eSports matches, individual mistakes repeatedly decide victory and defeat when they are exploited by the opponent.
The pro gamers obviously have more experience here – but if you see that the opponents are making a mistake, punish them for it. Just be careful not to fall into a trap yourself or overestimate yourself. If you do it right, you can dismantle an entire team on your own – like Profit in the final match against Philadelphia.
Play Dynamically: When pros notice that they are not making progress with a strategy, they reassemble or change tactics. This also includes switching heroes, even if the ultimate is ready.
If you see that the opponent can counter your composition too strongly, change it. Even a meta composition cannot always win. Sometimes it’s necessary to switch to win – like in London, where Tracer brought them victory, despite Hanzo being the meta hero.
