33 - Omnic Lab: The Battle for Space

12/22/16 • 75 min

Omnic Lab: A Strategic Overwatch Podcast

In the Lab today we want to help players understand the concept of your individual and team spacing. This overlaps with positioning as far as terminology is concerned, but space and territory is basically how we want you to understand the concept of your team and individual position on a given game of Overwatch.

32 - Omnic Lab: The Mental Game

In the Lab today Andres wants to come at the game of Overwatch from a completely different angle than we usually do. We want to talk about the mental game of Overwatch, more specifically identifying and exploiting advantages. Playing in the past, present, or future is the main thrust here. What is your mental game maturity level? How can you develop your ability to predict? How do the pros predict engagements and ultimates?
