The professional scene of Overwatch continually surprises with special moments – and not just in tournaments. Cloud9 DPS player Lane “Surefour” Roberts shows in his stream that even weaker heroes like Widowmaker can be extremely dangerous in the right hands.
“I know he is a good player, but Jesus christ…”
Talon’s sniper Amélie Lacroix is not usually a choice that teammates like to see in Overwatch ranked matches.
If Widowmaker does manage to deliver a solid performance, accusations of hacking are rarely far behind. Especially when the Widowmaker can already hold back the opposing team at the first point on Watchpoint Gibraltar.
But Overwatch pro Lane “Surefour” Roberts doesn’t need the help of an aim bot to stop the opposing team.
The Canadian professional player explains on his stream how important it is to optimize settings when playing snipers. Not only positioning and technique play a role, but also the right mouse speed (sensitivity and DPI = Dots Per Inch).
If the mouse is too fast or too slow, the movements of hand and crosshair will no longer match. What can be seen in his stream and the video is the result of nearly perfect settings he has experimented with for quite some time.
“I’ve never been carried so hard…”
Through the moving images, some may have certainly been inspired to try it themselves. And those who want to emulate him are in luck! Surefour has even made a tutorial video for beginners and advanced players, in which he explains basic techniques for aiming. So, anyone looking to improve will be well served with tips from the pro.
