The OverSeer: Overwatch League S3 Week 26 Predictions

Week 26...just one week left until the Countdown Cup. This time, we'll get a taste of what the new meta is with Orisa, Mei, Widowmaker and Ana in the pool, so let's get predicting!

I'm really not sure what the meta will be like in Week 26, but it could very well be the same as what we saw in the Summer Showdown, with Double Shield being the key comp style, and Genji, Ashe and Tracer being the DPS of choice. The support line will probably still be Bap-Brig as well.

DAY 1

1. Dallas Fuel vs. Philadelphia Fusion- Fusion wins 3-0. The Fusion went to the Summer Showdown finals in a very similar meta to this one, so I think they'll easily dominate the Fuel.


This is just not the right meta for the Valiant, so I'm gunning for the Outlaws
2. Los Angeles Valiant vs. Houston Outlaws- Outlaws win 3-0. Even though a lot of people love hyping up the Valiant, I'm not a fan because they are highly inconsistent. If they come into this match with polished strategies, I think they can flip the odds in their favour, but overall, I think Houston is noticeably better at Genji-centric comps, which are likely to be meta once again.


DAY 2

1. Seoul Dynasty vs. Guangzhou Charge- Charge wins 3-0. If I'm right, the Charge will be heading into yet another Double Shield meta, and in that case, they will stomp the Dynasty. That aside though, the Charge have shown more promise than Seoul overall this season, and are likely to win anyway.

Match of the Day: Who do you think has the edge?
2. London Spitfire vs. Hangzhou Spark- Spitfire wins 3-1. Despite the Spark showcasing a higher peak than the Spitfire this season, they have been quite inconsistent, which will work in London's favour. Even though they haven't had the most flashy moments thus far, the Spitfire have managed to maintain their level of play for the most part, and are poised to take this series if they treat it like any other.

3. New York Excelsior vs. Shanghai Dragons- Dragons win 3-0. In a Double Shield meta with Bap-Brig as the support line, I'd pick Shanghai over New York any day. Fearless-Void has been a much stronger tank duo than Mano-HOTBA this season, and LeeJaeGon has been stellar on Brig, which is not the case with Anamo. This is more of a tank and support difference than anything, and we might have a one-sided affair on our hands.

4. Paris Eternal vs. Washington Justice- Eternal wins 3-0. I don't even need to explain this.

5. Toronto Defiant vs. Vancouver Titans- Defiant wins 3-0. As long as Vancouver keeps putting Dalton on Genji and continues forcing that pick, that team is doomed to fail.

6. Houston Outlaws vs. San Francisco Shock- Shock wins 3-0. Should be fairly one-sided.


DAY 3

1. Dallas Fuel vs. Atlanta Reign- Reign wins 3-0. I believe the Fuel haven't been playing very consistently, and Atlanta can exploit that weakness to make this an easy victory.

2. Los Angeles Gladiators vs. Florida Mayhem- Mayhem wins 3-0. Although Kevster has been fantastic on Genji, the Mayhem are fantastic as a whole, and can deal with solo-carries without much of an effort.

Fusion's ready to grasp another victory
3. Philadelphia Fusion vs. Los Angeles Valiant- Fusion wins 3-0. Philly's just the better team here, no doubt about it.


That's all the predictions for this week! If you guys think they're reasonable, be sure to share this post with other OWL fans and subscribe to my blog for more such content! Cheers, stay safe!

The OverThinker: How To Eat Ultimates as D.Va

Hey everyone, welcome back to The OverThinker, where we dive deep into topics concerning the core game of Overwatch. It's been a while since my last upload in this series, but I'm back with something unique and hopefully useful!  In this post, I'll be sharing my insights into eating ultimates as D.Va, which is something I've gotten fairly good at in recent times. Currently, D.Va is my most-played hero; I've got around 200 hours on her on ladder, and have learnt how to use her kit in various situations on all kinds of maps. She's a very powerful hero by design and utility, but is also very easy to play incorrectly. Unlike Roadhog, Zarya, and even Sigma, D.Va's offensive tools are the least impressive parts of her kit. She's an 'off-tank' in the true sense of the term, and playing her requires a unique approach and mindset that you can't use with any other of Overwatch's 32 characters. When you play D.Va, you're supposed to be the prima...

The OverSeer: Philadelphia Fusion 2020 Roster Review

Every time there is a new signing, a player release, or a trade in the Overwatch League, it causes a butterfly effect in my roster ratings, and sometimes, it can shift the dynamics of my reviews entirely. After considering every single roster change that has happened in the off-season thus far, I am finally reviewing one of my initially-favourite teams in the Overwatch League: the Philadelphia Fusion, whom I ranked 12th in my end-of-season power rankings for 2019 . They didn't exceed the 13th-ranked Paris Eternal by a lot (in terms of skill level), whom I reviewed just a couple of days ago, but still had a fairly entertaining run despite their hardships. In this off-season, they've made some very  interesting roster moves, which is why I've been getting a ton of requests to review their team, but what I'm about to say might not please these anxious readers. Why is that? Let's go over the Fusion's roster to find out. Again, there is one underage player on thi...

The OverThinker: 4 Tips to Help You Land the Best Gravs Possible

When it comes to ultimates in Overwatch, it's hard to beat the effectiveness of a well-timed, well-placed Graviton Surge. A powerful ability that can hold your opponents in place for a few seconds, there's no better tool in the game to set the enemy team up to take a ton of damage. As a Zarya player, it's a matter of pride to land some juicy Gravs, which is why it's extra-disappointing when you barely get value out of one.  As an off-tank player, I understand that feeling aplenty, and would like to share 4 key tips with all of you so that you can land the best Gravs possible. Let's begin. 1. Always have high energy when you Grav A common mistake I see Zarya players make is throwing out Gravitons when they're low on energy. This is a poor decision on multiple levels, especially if you're not planning to combo the Grav with something. First of all, if you're playing with randoms, there's no telling whether or not your Grav will be followed-...
