The Plat Player's Perspective

Hello everyone, and welcome (back) to The OverSeer, where you can find match predictions for the Overwatch League every single week. My name is Proilios , and I'm feeling pretty hot right now, since I got 7/9 winners right last week, including 3/9 perfect scores, so if you want to follow this series of predictions posts, do subscribe to my blog, I'm sure you won't regret it. As usual, let's try and guess the meta for the week before we get into our predictions. META SPECULATION With Orisa, Moira, Tracer, and Echo  being banned, we're headed into a week where the unofficially-termed  MeiCree  comp is likely to make a big return. For those of you who don't know, MeiCree  is a Deathbally comp which can control space like no other, primarily due to the presence of the Rein-D.Va tank duo. Reinhardt is the best main tank in the game right now, and can buy you all the space you need to re-position, and if you have to contest the high ground/the skies, D.Va can...

Week 11 of the League will be spread out over more than 2 days, which is something we're not used to seeing, but that unfortunately doesn't mean more matches. This week, we'll get to watch just 9 different series, but I'm ready with my predictions for Day 1 (for the U.S.), which will have two matches to start us off with. Before we do that, let's quickly go over my thoughts on the meta, as usual. META SPECULATION The last time Reinhardt, Widowmaker and McCree were banned, we saw a unique variation of Dive, which had Winston-D.Va-Tracer-Sombra/Soldier-Zen-Brig. This time though, Brig is banned too, which means if we see Dive at all, it'll be a different variation. I suspect this version will be Winston-D.Va-Tracer-Sombra-Ana-Lucio . One of the primary purposes of Brigitte in the previously-mentioned Dive variant was to protect Zenyatta, whose Discord Orbs are crucial at bursting down dove targets. With Brig out, Zen has no stun to protect him, which means...

It's that time of the week again, folks! My predictions for Week 10 of the Overwatch League are ready, and without any flowery intros, I'd like to jump right into it! META SPECULATION Based on what we've seen OWL teams run so far, I think two compositions will be prevalent this weekend. The first one is Rein-Zarya-Mei-McCree-Lucio-Moira . With D.Va and Ana out of the Hero Pool, you've got to have Zarya with your Reinhardt if you're running a Deathball comp. Sure, you don't have the same kind of defensive utility with Zarya, but combined with Moira's burst healing and damage capabilities, you can run a very aggressive Deathball comp and run over your opponents. We've already seen a few teams, especially in the Chinese region, run Rein-Zarya in Week 9, and I think with Mei and McCree back in the mix, these tanks will only get stronger. The second comp that I think can be very strong this week is Rein-Orisa-Mei-McCree-Lucio-Baptiste . We've see...

Hello everyone, it's Proilios  again, and I'm back with my predictions for Week 9 of the Overwatch League. It's been rough for the OWL community after hearing that there will be no more Homestands this season, but I think this is the right decision, since nobody can predict where the world will be with COVID in the short run. That said, we will still be getting matches in an online format, meaning we won't miss out on any of the action, and who knows? Maybe the League and the teams will save more money by playing online this year and have more to invest in 2021 to give us an even better live experience. Anyway, the schedule for Week 9 is out, and as usual, I want to speculate on the meta before I share my predictions with you all. META SPECULATION Wrecking Ball, Mei (YES), McCree and Brigitte are the banned heroes for Week 9, and that's a lot of CC out of the picture, which enables 2 compositions to rise to the top according to me. Now, these compositions ar...
