Snipers are a plague. But how a Korean expert with Widowmaker from Overwatch gets around them deserves recognition.
Headshots in Seconds
Let’s be honest: We all hate being shot by snipers in shooters. However, the occasional frustration one feels is probably nothing compared to the humiliation that must be felt by the opposing team of this Korean player from Overwatch.
In the right hands, Widowmaker is indeed a very valuable addition to almost any team, but what the player “Pine” brings out of the French assassin is beyond comprehension. However, Pine is not an unknown name; he has already made a name for himself in Team Fortress 2 and dominated the battlefields there.
In these two video clips, you can see him in action, gracefully hopping from rooftop to rooftop, distributing headshots in seconds, while also finding the time to throw in various emotes like “Hello” to bridge the wait between enemy respawns. While most players might already have trouble following his quick movements as spectators, one can only imagine the frustration in the opposing team. I am definitely quite happy not to have encountered such a Widowmaker in the beta yet.
Did you also have such frustrating opponents during the Overwatch open beta? Or were you fortunately spared?
Only one week left, then Overwatch will be released on May 24 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
Just yesterday, Blizzard released a new cinematic about the Shimada brothers Genji and Hanzo. Check out the short film “Dragons” here.
