I remember the clip where Super reached the same hours played as XQC. And XQC handn't played for 3 years at that point. Shows how much he actually played back in the day.
As overwatch has evolved, the hype around plays has lessened as more “cool” plays become common till a point where they are truly just expected. An unfortunate result of people eventually getting too good at a game
Also an unfortunate result of nothing new being added to the game for a long time cuz there’s nothing new enough to be considered cool and never before seen.
The nostalgia hits hard ! I was a main DPS at the time and it was him and Fissure who gave me the thrill of playing tanks And now, I'm a main tank since 2018.
for those who didnt understand the eichenwalde bridge grav clip, he winston jumped into the grav mid air (preventing his team from getting gravved) and thus him tanking it
Dude I really like your videos. Your commentary and insight is awesome. I've been watching your videos all day and it's been quite an experience haha. Epic.
@@cornpop838 Sometimes the truth is cringe. Plenty of Winston players have played better. But the whole meta of how to play Winston you see everyone use came from Miro, and XQC
xQc had great Winston skills but Miro in his early OW days and the world cup was a complete different beast. Even tho I got to high elo quick, he showed me how insane players get and that im just another noob compared to these guys.
Crazy that a year later, Overwatch 2 and I hear "We're getting Orisa's old pull back next week" got me excited until I saw the date this video was released. I'd like them to test some old kits in OW2. I don't wanna go back to OW1 necessarily but I'd like to have a week or even a weekend where we get to play it again now that we've had ow2 for over a year
5:30 You wouldn't see a single Pogchamp because you'd be dead from being deleted in 1 second from simply turning around. Tanks feel like paper nowadays.
The Mcree clip is there because at the time people were saying he can tank but has terrible aim.. he wanted to show that he could still hold GM on hitscan
@@ashtonellwood1925 a bit late on the reply but it took super 3 years to catch up to xqcs level when xqc quit playing. You can see in a clip in this video also that xqc would grind out 60 games a stream. Those games still had best of 5 capture point instead of best of 3 which made the games a lot longer too. He has such an insane amount of time that i dont even have half of his playtime and i started playing in season 4
Really good observations about how hype plays in the past are seen as normal today. Tbh we're living in a gold age of awesome OW players and games too... but it feels less hype and fresh. I also hope new OW2 content including co-op brings back the freshness and energy, and we can enjoy learning together as a community again!
Ngl I completely forgot about overwatch I remember playing it all the time when it came out and the beta was a lot of fun I feel like I’ve lost out on memory’s I could experienced this whole time. Let’s hope overwatch 2 is the revival I’m here to stay
i'm new to overwatch (overwatch 2 is the first fpspvp i've played), and i feel the hype over good plays lol. i'm not very good and only do quickplay, but when someone does something cool or people combo ults (on my team or the enemy's) i start screaming/laughing and it's so fun.
@@MattyPraps1234 It was the best. Literally the biggest issue with Overwatch is that it's clearly designed to be played with people who actually want to win and are all on the same page. Role queue is a cure to solo queing. Even if you wanted to restrict people to 2-2-2 (or 2-1-2 now) there is no reason why I shouldn't be able to let my Rein main swap off heals with me and take his role.

1:54 What mad man thinks the open-Q was in any way good? The only thing I remember is 5 dps on your team and the enemy team with a tank and a support diffing everyone. It was the most frustrating and unballanced games ever, not to mention the 6 support mains on one team (I never had that problem cuz I was silver).
@@fredericabernkastel8354 You’ll still have heals and tanks. Interesting or not, I’d way rather have matches that are 2-2-2 with double shield any day every day instead of having to gamble if my team will have no heals or tanks.
I remember the most common 1 tank 3 dps 2 healers on both teams and I would be the tank and get absolutely shredded and focused down by the other teams triple dps because I had no offtank lmao. That was by far the vast majority of games.
Quality is bad because of CZcams compression, not because of the initial stream quality. Everything is compressed and the more noise there is on screen the worse everything looks.

Oh yeah lmao wtf I almost forgot about that
Super plays on other accs I'm pretty sure and xqc never smurfed etc
That’s because xqc at one point “was” overwatch.

sorry for your loss bro
At 7:36 you can see a real gamer that went 31/27 (2) in a single day thats 60 games in one day, i cant get through more than 8 games these days
that was also when control was bo5 so games were significantly longer

The nostalgia! Also, so glad you got the outro again! I've missed vibing to it 🤗
Should Def watch some muselk man, remember when he switched from tf2 to overwatch and the lad did amazing
Muselk and the meme team were my first overwatch content creators I started watching, I miss those days.
@@tatuvarvemaa5314 should watch his tf2 days man, I think their his best 100%

Season 1 owl was fucking sick. X is the only reason I started playing main tank
His tracking is insane

I remember 2018 OWL xQc came back from suspension and MTD’d Fissure (arguably best MT in S1) and then like never played in OWL again lmfao
flats not shutting up about goats
Now I’m not a bastion main or anything so I didn’t know you could do this but you can heal in your ultimate in Overwatch 1 and I didn’t even know that
Season 1 overwatch League G.O.A.T.S meta is my favorite time in OWL. PINE God was still with NYE. best times.
10:03 xQc actually looked like he belonged in that garage with that outfit lmao
The fact that he has to explain what goats is lmao.
Season 1 OWL I was a huuuge Dallas Fuel fan…. not because of xqc but because it was literally team envy. HarryHook, Chipshajen, Seagull, Mickie, Effect, Cocco and Taimou.
Now I’m reminded of the old cloud9 team as well. Kyky, debett, Surefour, reaver, grego and Adam!!!!! Ugh, I love Surefour!! Please do Surefour!! Lol
I loved watching him play monke
this is OG Goats
And we will probably never see this level again :(
He said “this is literally GOATS” about 193 times during the video
Take a shot every time Flats says “goats”😂
OWL needs more 3rd person spectating and quick replays
The cow is in the building
Can you do similar video as this but for supertf?
so true world cup was my favorite thing to watch too
i actually got fucking goosebumps watching this shit omg. there used to be some much fucking HYPE with this game
still all this time XQC's twitch channel still has the Winton Pfp
Can we replace the crappy robot push with 2cp? Those were the good days playing on hanamura and colony
Dspstanky is who you should watch next
I want a OG Overwatch private server
I miss the ranking system from OW1.
Tier slots for battle pass don't hit the same as an actual rank.
Hey Flats would you like to see an awesome D.VA X Symmetra tactic? idk if i can send you the replay tho
Oh If i hear this Man Say GoATsSsS One more Time i swear....
don't forget the XQC hype theme, Macky Gee's [insert any song]
Custa, Harryhook, mickie, akm, rascal fucking hell some of those names
You should watch a get quaked on montage (dps doomfist). He gets really technical and flashy kills.
trying to watch without hearing goats or goats gaming every 2 seconds
we need flats to react to a wraxu vod or something
I’d love to see you react to supertf plays
Now I kinda wanna see some samito in past that be fun
old tank knockback is wild
Easy to see when XQC laughed with joy or laughed with condescending attitude. I like the joyful one more as it is good moral.
Wrong, GOATS OG name was Meatball, and once Brig was added into the game, it was modified into GOATS
That season 1 thing wasn't GOATS, it was Slambulance
it's so weird watching ow1 videos when we're nearly one year in ow2.
Forget this, the best XQC montage is the XQC Cancan video.
he's so jealous of how successful his disliked peer has gotten hahahahaha
yo flats just shattered with no rein to defend? POGCHAMP BIG SLAM JUICY GAMING
