Steam Keys Esports: State of Overwatch Pro Scene

The video above contains a few criticisms on the Overwatch pro scene. With Overwatch being hugely successful as of late and its momentum has showed no signs of stopping yet, as well as it getting better and better with each timely patch, folks wonder how it will fair as an e-sport.

It’s plenty obvious that the game, at its very core, is highly competitive and highly rewarding. It’s got great gameplay mechanics, superb characters in both playability and uniqueness, and it’s got some of the most interesting ideas ever to be introduced in a team-based FPS.

But that doesn’t mean jack-squat if it can’t hold up against the modern e-sports greats like Dota or CS:GO. The biggest fear folks have here is the watchability of it. In other words, if it can be a spectator sport or not. You’ll find all the arguments in the video above, so I’m just going to focus on my counter arguments instead. Or you could just go judge it for yourself even if you don’t have any Steam redeem code of it.

Steam Keys: Getting it Out of the Way

To cut it short, I completely disagree with the video about the current state of Overwatch pro gaming; Overwatch is a fine spectator sport. But, frankly, aside from the level of pro players right now really not being up to par with Envyus, it’s the cameraman that has the real responsibility for it. I’ve seen a ton of matches where the guy controlling the camera simply knew where, when, and who to focus on at key moments of a clash. That makes all the difference in the world and you can easily bypass the hundred other things happening on screen so long as the cameraman knows what to do and what to focus on, either by getting into the perspective of a player or going for a bird’s eye view.

I’ve also seen a lot of the opposite where the cameraman had apparently no freaking idea what to do. I see a Roadhog ult about to quad environmental kill from a pivotal situation and then, suddenly, camera tracks some Reaper coming back to the fight from the spawn room. Quality camerawork at its finest.

There really isn’t any other issue with its watchability other than that. The pro teams will, eventually, get good enough to take down Envyus and we’ll see a more balanced assortment of teams in the competitive meta without a single team dominating everybody. For now, it’s still pretty amazing and I suggest you all try and watch Overwatch pro games, Steam keys or not, and judge for yourself with an open mind.
