The GosuGamers EU weeklies returned yesterday. With that, the new map Eichenwalde made its competitive debut. This map is unique and full of potential when it comes to new strategies and team setups. Considering that, this article will show some of the interesting highlights from yesterdays Eichenwalde game!
It’s always fun to see when teams adapt to new things. The audience still wants to see Ana being picked, even though she’s been around for quite some time by now. Since Eichenwalde was released just this week, it was exciting to see how Luminosity and Bringos would handle it when it was picked. This map is unique in many ways, one being the many nooks and crannies that makes for great flanking opportunities. Below you can find the whole VOD of the game, which starts with a quick little tour of the map by the casters ZP and UberShouts. After that there's a list of sweet Eichenwalde plays that makes this map so interesting.
- Early Pharah flanking by Luminosity’s Tseini, accompanied by Zave on Mercy. (Got to love the Pharmercy combo.) They manage to do some nice initial work.
- Here you can see the defending team setting up next to the giant tower that is said to be the highest point in any Overwatch map. Shortly after that, you can see how the attackers are trying to break through.
- Bringos’s Liddano is trying to, as ZP puts it, “McCreep” behind enemy lines, showing yet again how great flanking possibilities this map has.
- Ult showdown at the castle tower that was previously mentioned. Showing off some fights in the open as well as in the tower itself.
- LG’s Manneten with a superb Graviton Surge! The small doorways into the last point of the map are hard enough to get through, and here he makes it even harder for Bringos.
