Masters Of The High Ground - How Shanghai Dragons Outplayed NYXL | Pro Overwatch Analysis

  • In Overwatch, if you can take control of the high ground, you are often able to control the tempo of the game. Depending on the map, proper positioning that makes use of the verticality of the environment can make it challenging for an attacking team to capture an objective.
    During the Shanghai Dragon's match against the New York Excelsior in the 2020 Overwatch League May Melee, we were given a master class performance in high ground control by the eventual champions of the tournament.
    In today's video, we take a deep dive into how the Shanghai Dragons were able to pull off such a strong hold against the NYXL when defending King's Row.

I was stuck at low gold for a while, until i got a good team together, and I started doing so much better 'cause we had communication, teamwork, (and we were all decent at the game) climbed to high plat, and even diamond in support. I believe that teamwork is key in this game, and if you're at a rank with other unexperienced players, try to get a team, so you have an advantage over those who don't even use team chat.

    Really awesome breakdown of the positioning here. Something that's been on my mind a lot is how pro players are really differentiated from casual players, and the things I've seen most are (1) patience, (2) emphasis on map control through off-angles and high ground. A lot of players miss these things on ladder, but in the pro scene you see so much crazy stuff like this match.
