Overwatch is a six(6) person team-based multiplayer first-person shooter developed and published by Activision Blizzard. Described as a “hero shooter”, Overwatch assigns players into two teams of six, with each player selecting from a roster of over 30 characters, known as “heroes”, each with a unique style of play that is divided into three general roles that fit their purpose. Players on a team work together to secure and defend control points on a map or escort a payload across the map in a limited amount of time.

Team Focus
This team’s weekly schedule consists of 2-3 scrims, 3-4 hours of VoD review, and 2-3 matches with an emphasis on fellowship outside of training and performance. Our goal is to play better than the sum of our parts by always focusing on how we can impact both our plan to win a fight but also the enemies plan.
