BRONZE TO GM ANA NO COMMS pt.1 (Bronze to Diamond) 

IMPORTANT NOTES! PLEASE READ BEFORE COMMENTING This start of the run begins in Bronze, so expect Bronze and Silver to be just meme ranks. I mostly just goof around and try to make content out of those ranks since it's extremely easy. Another thing to mention is that this is my first run doing a Bronze to GM series. There's a lot of controversy surrounding these kinds of runs and I completely understand. Out of my 10k+ hours in the game and almost 6 years of playing, I haven't done one of these before as I understand people don't like smurfing. Overwatch hasn't had any content for years, so this was the one thing my brain could come up with to make something out of essentially nothing. I did this run with absolutely zero comms, this is pure mechanics at play. Also if you see me complain, or if I just do my usual "Man I hate this character" or I decide to blame a teammate, I usually try to refrain from doing it, I'm just very competitive and I always want to win. Again, touching on the smurfing topic, I understand some don't approve and that's okay. I still think there's value with these videos because players can learn how I position, how I use my abilities, and what I do to turn fights around in my favor. Also I was completely out of voice comms and did not interact with my team whatsoever. I hope you all can learn something from these videos as this is a 3 part series. Enjoy! and again, please remember the lower ranks aren't really going to show much. It gets way more interesting around gold/plat I'd say. Thanks again :)

Flats jokingly said there is a pact between lower sr players that if there is a dva bomb, there must always be deaths. It's a real pact as far as I'm concerned.

20:34 i love how the winston was walking the opposite direction of point & does a complete 180° when he gets nano 😂 the nano went to his head

Just commenting to say that this video is incredibly value. I’m an older player who was hard stuck in low gold for 2+ years. I don’t get a lot of time to play because of my job and my family. But watching this video helped me understand how to position myself better and how to manage my cooldowns as Ana and I just made it to Platinum for the first time ever after. I know it’s not super impressive to most, but I’m old and busy haha so to me it’s a cool milestone. Thanks for a great resource!

This type of “smurfing” (if you can even call it that) where you’re focusing on actually helping your teammates excel instead of you just killing everyone is awesome. The other teams have to give it their all and sometimes even manage to win it! I think overall you’re giving both sides a very good feeling even if they lose. And in the meantime a lot of people here on RU-vid can learn from your positioning, tactics etc. including me. Thank you Gale, thank you very much.

Gale was the Ana player I would try to replicate back then. Awesome to see more Ana gameplay and tips :P

the way you sit back and cheer on your team to see things unfold is 🔥 🔥. I love these keep up the great vids

So many moments in this were so wholesome and funny LOL. I love seeing everyone have fun.

What's overpowering is Brig in bronze. It's a sure win! I think it's nice that he only healed and enabled the team in bronze, it makes it more enjoyable for the players and more entertaining for us lol

I'm stuck in gold and I Think this kind of content is valuable because in normal unranked to GM, gold/diamond is only played in the first games. I know each tip is applicable to each rank, but in fact there ARE differences in how the games are played. Other youtube made an Moira bronze to GM some years ago and I find really valuable to see various games in gold rank. Also I think there is a HUGE difference in surfing just for the sake of it and "smurfing" as a content. I would not mind lose a game for someone doing this, is just one game after all. Thanks!

Waiting to see one of these games where the team still blames the healers for not doing enough.

That bastion being one DPS cooldown away from dying that entire time was top tier comedy

I just want to mention. It took going 21-4 to get out of bronze. I could understand someone being stuck in bronze if it took a gm player 5 hours to get out of bronze.

It’s amazing the comps you can get away with when you have a great Ana

How the hog simply crouched behind the car to dodge dva bomb made me laugh my ass off 😆😆😆😆

Meanwhile, on the enemy team: ‘WHY IS NOONE DYING’

Omg i love your choice of music! You’re so hip i love all of the dj’s you played 😊

Literally 4500 player bullying low rank players while streaming laughing at them, this man fell so hard

So much fun seeing your reactions to Bronze. Just enabling/standing there watching must have been very satisfying. Edit - The stream sniping Mei was an absolute snake. Such a loser.

Love this! Would love to see you do this with Widow next.been bronze for 5 years, never above 1700.

One of the few Bronze to ..... videos. The ones that start at unranked are already playing with Diamond+ teammates. Very nicely done. Miss those maps in comp and the old Bastion.

i love how in the bronze he was like a happy mother watching their children, it was cute

you sound like you genuinely enjoyed playing the matches, which is great to hear

Been watching this man for 7 years and I forgot 2 check youtube😬😬

3:35:57 I don’t know why but this had me dying

Here Lies GaleAdelade, Grandmaster player Died of Ligma Edit: also this is the thing lots of good players don't understand about low tier OW: you cannot read what is going on, nor can you interact with it. Most players are one-tricks are straight up can't play at all and if asked to do basic things like group up, flank, or the like, nothing will happen. This is why they are the best and worst games, you either have the skill to just power through the BS or you toss a coin each game and pray your DPS/tanks/supports know what they're doing.

I am bronze but watching it made me laugh so hard lol thanks for the content

Already watched 3 hours. You are a great dude

honestly this elo is so hard to get out of sometimes, like you can have a day where you win 7 games in a row and the next its leavers every match

This has been very educational for me as far as how to get value as Ana. Thank you and btw 5:56:55 was 👌

LETS GOOO

This shit was so fun to watch live. Bronze is so funny :p

43:10 Ligma is probably not bronze and is smurfing too Bronze players would never spawncamp

video starts and ends in kings row, beautiful

Well good it gives long videos with full gamplay.... I used it to learn ult tracking and I am pretty decent now.... Thx

The rate at which u build nano is just.... insane

I sure hope the soldier bronze to gm gets uploaded to youtube soon.

3:23:07 - 3:25:46 99-99score 2 minmute 40 seconds final fight. Bronze Silver gold in a nutshell

gl gale i fell from gold to bronze playing only ana

There's so much comedy gold in the later parts of bronze

the match with the pinfest was pure gold

Good ol' Bronze.. where nothing gets done except Rip-Tires and D'va Bombs

When the Dva died in the beginning at 8:44 I lost it 😂

This was really fun to watch. Signed - Bronze Player

Woah you're back 👀

Currently doing a defensive driving class for insurance reduction and watching this series since its a 5.5 hour class.

6:58:21 when you tab'd in that game in watchpoint..., I got so happy to read my alt account name (boriselgato). I got in your game out of dumb luck and you hard carried us with zen and ana. I was so nervous when i confirmed i was on a live stream, i played so bad but i enjoyed the experience so much. Edit yo clarify: i wasnt stream sniping, but i recognized your username and tuned the stream in my phone to confirm

Hey dude! Nice to see you still going strong on overwatch. It seems like there are only a few players left lol. Cyx, redshell, harbleu, and you. Hopefully overwatch 2 can bring back some gas to the game

Gale there used to be a sr bonus some time ago, but it was removed around when sig came out I believe.

4:14:43 Punch, pause, and "who taught you to fight like that?" The sheer disappointment

Classic Moo9

seeing lootboxes and credits so readily available hurts my heart

The Mei in the match at 2:11:00 is probably one of those people who got their account banned for toxicity and is now "smurfing" in bronze. She's emoting before killing a person, she doesn't shoot immediately after she freezes - she waits like 3 seconds, and she is constantly trying to spawncamp or hard focus Ana.

I've been trying to get my rank down to bronze so I can play with my cousin. i go hammer only flank torb and everyone gets so distracted by me at silver gold my team ends up winning off the distraction. Bronze people are blessed to be where they're at

watching in overwatch 2 and I miss 6v6 and the old healing animation 😢

Would love to see a bronze to master zenyatta

Noice

your laugh during the bronze matches is contagious man lol

clicked for the ana play, stayed for the googly eyes.

tbh your skill made a real diff in some bronze games (like the first route 66 game), the averagegood bronze/silver/gold and even plat player would surely not be able to stand out and win those games, so they just would be stuck in bronze even if they deserve better rank

Your pinned comment and the stuff you say in game are two very different things. At least, you are 100% honest in the beginning in that you are not really doing this to help and teach but rather because you are bored of your elo and just to sh*t on low elo players. I respect that honesty. And, tbh, I am impressed by your mechanical skills. You are really good. (But we all already knew that, right? 😁)

Bronze don't use cover so dva bombs hit people because they are standing out in the middle and are not fast enough to hide.

1:30:30 this man was 11 health for like 4 swings

3:40 from 2-2 to 4-2

The fact that it takes a top 500 player over 10 hours to climb back to their rank says something about how terribly grindy the game is.

you laugh at 23:00 at the bastion spot, BUT HIGHKEY as a GM bastion OTP thats one of my favorite spots, its unpinnable by rein because of the totem infront of him lol

tmw he mentions it being hard to be in bronze, meanwhile im having to sweat every game to try to get out of bronze lol

bronze is so wholesome

Gale do you have a playlist for your music ?

when you nano'd the genji and he just sat on the platform lmao

RIP to the guy who cutted this video with 10hours

w for listening to phonk

This was hilarious!

the ML7 ML7 scream at 3:33:33 killed me bro

Takes skill to get to this rank, I'll take that as a compliment.

Its an unwritten rule somebody always gotta die to dva bomb or youre griefing

High-level players say it's just your skill that matters and while that's mostly true this just caused the enemy teams to all lose Sr when they were not Eve against sales skill players.

Oh yeah, flanking junkrats, the worst nightmare of a bronze support player with zero peels.

i came to watch bronze to gm gameplay and ended up questioning my self worth over my neurodivergency and physical appearance/j

Bastion in bronze go Burrr

Damn it takes a long time to climb on Anna.

it doesnt look like ligmas cheating tho

Who do you play if ana gets taken

Bro if he wasn’t stopping those bronze tires they would’ve all been ez 3ks

"It's actually hard to have a bronze account" It's a good thing my lowest was 1501 sr then

Solo grav "Uh oh" Sleeps zarya "No" Teammate immediately wakes her up kills Ana and loses point

"9 charge kills, i've never seen this card in my Life" i Just got that like Yesterday in a plat lobby lmao , i guess i fed like a madlad, i feel Sorry for my healers. PS Those games in the video are wild, so funny

1:14:30 cass dies to junk aftermath after gale kills him bronze elo is a truly magical place💀

Did the Diva get a Doppel bomb? 1:34:00 ?

1:28 THE PINNERY

In case anyone is actually curious low rank players tend to have high endorsement levels because it actually means something. If you are an asshole we can actually tell in Bronze before the game starts though there is a level of mercy because you lose endorsement rating if you DC which happens. Generally though people will always click it.

Would be actually so fun to just invite 4 of your favorite players u played with doing this challenge.. tell them who u are and what u did, and just go play some QP with them Like sir squishy, and DEF the hamster that didn’t die that game (was one of the most fun games tho) Some of ur team mates were actually really good.. curious if they got out of bronze by now as well.. Y can maybe give them some tips if they didn’t climb :)

"It takes skill to get to this rank (bronze)" As a bronze player, that comment offends me AND makes me feel good.

3:23:10 probably the craziest overtime fight ive seen lmaooo

huge plays: 8:11:10, 4:41:30

I love watching top 500s like this guy and samito complain about cheating in low sr's while they're literally cheating in low sr's 🤣

btw Gale sym tp happens all the time in bronze

7:41 Sigma: “What is that m-“

So does Overwatch 1 still do 6 players?

Battle Mercy at 55:00 was great! 😂
