The Plat Player's Perspective

There are 7 matches to be witnessed at the Houston Outlaws' Homestand this weekend, and I am ready to fire off my predictions for the 3 games to be played on Saturday. Just like the week before, I will be using this post like a thread, adding my predictions for Day 2 after watching Day 1's matches, and also updating you about how accurate/inaccurate I was with respect to all those games. If at any point you wish to see a list of all my predictions posts, do open the menu on my blog and filter by the 'Match Predictions' label. I just have this, and the previous week's article on there right now, but we'll have a whole horde of posts by the end of this season, I promise you that. Anyway, let's move on to the meat of this post. DAY 1: 1. New York Excelsior vs. Florida Mayhem - Excelsior wins 3-1 . Unexpectedly, the NYXL brought out Libero  instead of WhoRU  in this match, which led to them having an ultra-dominant 3-map run, demolishing the Mayhem with ...

Okay, we're finally entering a week in which I've seen all the participating teams play at least once before in this season.

Also, if I get the winner of a match wrong, I'll mark it red ; If I get the winner right but the score wrong, I'll mark it yellow ; and if I get both the winner and the score correct, I'll mark it green . Easy enough? Alright, let's go! DAY 1: 1. New York Excelsior vs. Philadelphia Fusion - Fusion  wins 3-2. Fusion actually did  win, but they put up a 3-1 score. Carpe  was an absolute standout performer, as he kept picking off his opponents, especially JJoNaK , throughout the match, essentially...

Just one day left until the third season of the Overwatch League begins, and I'm extremely excited. Not only will this year prove to be pivotal to the presence of Overwatch esports all around the world, but it will also either draw in massive amounts of people to watch the League and gain more viewers than ever before, or end up being a short-lived phenomenon, a momentary dream, that none of us wanted to wake up from even if the rest of our lives was craving for our attention. Welcome back to The OverSeer everyone, and today, I'll be going over each of the 20 teams in the League very briefly, sharing what I think their best and worst-case scenarios are going to be, and also try and construct some makeshift power tiers based off of what I say. Before I begin, I'd like to urge you guys to read what I've written with an open mind, and if you disagree with some things I've written about, which I'm certain you will, express your opinions in the comments section, b...
