Educational Unranked To GM - Overwatch 2 - Rank 1 Peak - Zarya 

I'd appreciate more people doing unranked to GM videos with zero team comms. It would clarify what individual mechanical aptitude and game sense can carry to GM.

"when the enemy team backs up and gives space...don't use cooldowns" I don't know why it took so many hours for this to click in my brain, thank you senpai

*Furiously scribbles notes for my rank up games*

It’s really interesting to watch the enemy tanks repeatedly switch heroes in an effort to counter your Zarya, yet continue making the same fundamental mistakes which causes them to lose still. Excellent video, A10!

That first game was a blast such a huge comeback with rez very entertaining and educational on how to match with a rein

Thank you for being such an amazing content creator! It's not just fun watching your videos but the way you provide examples and explain all the fundamentals is extraordinary. Big thanks!

You deserve so much more love, this was insanely entertaining. Love you A10!!

This is the video i was waiting for! short packed full with info since recently ive been playing zarya alot lately im a support ana main so this is very refreshing

these are always really informative and you provide great guides. i'd love to see a junker queen version if at all possible 😄

great vid again a10. always with the best educational content

This video has been a big help so far! I’m trying to main her and this has helped me along the way so far

That Kings Row game around 1:30:00 mark proved you’re the best Zarya to ever do it. Sealed it for me

I'm not even a tank player. I main support, but the way you explained these concepts settled so beautifully into my brain. These are things that all players should learn, and I feel like I know so much more after just one video.

As I watch this in steps, it’s turning out to be an incredibly useful video - I can’t wait to start getting A10 coaching.

Subbed for the analytic, strategic commentary 🔥🔥🔥

By far the most useful and informative zarya guide ive watched. Thank you

Man you do this so well, I do a lot of what you are talking about in the beginning ( 3 minutes ish) I haven’t figured out how to not rely on my team and tend to get over anxious and overextend.

🔥🔥🔥🔥 always excited when I see these come up

This is the most effective guide for me, thanks!

If there was ever a unranked to GM series that deserve to put "Educational" on the title, it's this. Holy moly A10, I feel my brain grew 3 times larger 1 hour in, if this keeps up I'm going OWL by the end of this XD

That first game is a mood. when i was ranking up playing ranked for the first time it took me so long to get out of gold last season, then i just sprinted through plat in 10 games

A10 could do a new one of these everyday and I’d eat it up every time. I like how he does a better job of explaining basic techniques to help you win. A lot of high level players will do unranked to GMs and just say stuff like “damage, damage, damage”. Basically saying just have insane mechanical ability. But don’t explain things like LoS, proper cool down usage, and the dynamics of when to give and when to take space. Love it.

another big and simple tip from a diamond player: Typically each route or push an enemy team tries to make almost always, by map design, leaves another angle open to take an advantage from. This is especially useful for flank characters. as SOON as a team commits to a route, instantly recognize what route is the flank route. Being able to easily get behind the team in any situation this way. Even if you dont team wipe, the value of getting healers or tanks to turn around and look at you is huge. especially against reinhardt Edit: once you find your flank, also always mentally note your escape route. You won't get value as a flanker if you die. period. Routes also almost always include health kits, so note those too and you'll stay alive much longer. You'll start to note these t hings automatically over time.

The mother duck literally blew my mind away…that makes so much sense!

Hey man, love the videos, content is super good and informational keep going !! Would you consider doing other UR2GM with different hero styles like Pharah, Cassidy, supports / other tanks ?

I'm already enjoying this and I'm 2 minutes in, even though this is 9 months old this info still applies.

Yessss thank u very much! Keep it up

I'm barely starting out in OW2, but I've already learned so much from your guides. Obviously I won't be playing ranked yet, but it's good to know how the whole system works.

A10 uploads an unranked to GM, I CLICK

This man's content don't miss

Masters 3 to gm 2 is a WHOLE rank up. Insane bro

i was on like a losing streak and after listening you talk about the basics i got a lot better and saved my derank i am a ball player

Winston/Zarya main, definitely watching this through

I don't play OW anymore, but I keep watching your videos. They are super entertaining, and educating. I feel like I am better at OW, without playing it (probably not, I must be garbage by now).

Thank you A10!

I watched allot of A10 edu content and I know his precepts I did an unranked zar only placement 5-1 started in diamond. So good.

The most important thing I learned from this is that I am a duckling and my tank is mother. jk though, amazing tips and thought process as usual!

Preciate the content g ❤

32:48 that bug where hanzo has immo but there is no lamp is annoying af

The way you talk about space is very validating to me I just got back into it and people will flame me for pushing up on enemies on attack after we wipe them and I’m like yeah I could stand on cart but maybe someone else can push it while I stall them so you don’t even get to see the enemy and people will get so mad about it it’s crazy

After your Dva stream it's honestly nice to see you even lose a round hahaha. Thanks for the info :)

I like when A10 said that players were better in OW1, cuz the 6v6 format, almost made you learn game sense and how the ebb and flow works. Now you can just pop off and climb, I'm in masters in OW2 and they do not feel like master games from OW1

I am interested in Junker Queen, but don't really play the tank role. Do you mind doing an educational unranked to GM with her?

Even though i dont play OW2 this video was still very entertaining to watch while practicing in tekkken :)

Yo a10 I have a question. I watch a lot of awkwards teaching too and he says that u should always do damage before the fight cause if you hide you are missing out on value, dmg and give some free space to the enemy tank. But I see you preach to wait and go get the little ducks while you hide. What are your thoughts about that? Cause I love you both but I’m a bit confused it seems like you preach the opposite things and it both works so 😂

You have a very different style than awkwards zarya but just as effective

I was playing zarya recently in a low elo, I haven't played more than 30 comp games of tank in 2 years, and I somehow had the intuition to kind of ignore their tank and walk on their backline if possible. I thought I was making a mistake, but it somehow kept working. I climbed from silver 4 to plat 3 in a week. I know I have a ton to work on and I have to be a lot smarter to continue climbing, but I'm glad I had some intuition... at least for one tank.

Every bad game I have from now on I need to remember the first match in this video.

A10 man you just randomly went up on my youtube, and i heard your voice in the background... i was like oh wait i recognize this voice and then i remember we played alot of games together in ow1.. goddamn youve grown and ive not subbed too you yet so here i go!!! i dont think you will remember me but i remember on specific fun game we had together when i was on my ana grind on route66 where we talked about you having your own emote in Kabajis chat. Keep pushing content!!

Great vid

quick question, just had a game one esperança were the enemies were always taking the hg in the middle of the map with the 2spawn I tried to deny it but my team was not with me in this situation should I give this whole hg ? cause then it's a pocketed bastion on the hg and my team in the open

New to the game! This was super useful thank you for the video :) Just curios if Zaryas beam gets wider the more charge she has? Or is it more of a particle effect?

excellent as always! now we need a Ramattra video❤

hey A10, always nice to see a coach who isnt conceited and telling their chat they're loosers the whole time lol

Would you be open to code submissions to react and maybe give advice to? By no means do I think I'm a zarya of your caliber, but I'm high diamond support and masters 4 dps, and my tank (maining zarya) is sitting at plat 2. Just wanna improve. Thanks for the content!

"Don't use cooldown to take free space" definitely my biggest takeaway today

Do you do coaching for Windows Paint drawing as well? 🤣 Jokes aside, nice info sharing out there, keep it up :)

i think im good as a gm5 zarya main but youre just on a whole different level man well played

Don't let Super catch you doing this...

best boi :pat:

I liked some of this advice but it has not worked at all for me so idk. Everything he demonstrated is not how any of my games have gone. IF I as the tank try to flank my team gets killed by the enemy tank. How do I deal with that?

How hard is coaching for you time wise for US time players (ET)?

when i play Zarya its feels i have half your range with the beam... its strange

Big W!!

Would love to see another dva UR to GM

Would be REALLY nice to see how A10 Zarya works against this new META with Mauga. He seems so strong, especially with a Sojourn, Mei, Ana, Kiriko. Can Zarya work?

I played my first Gm game and got rolled 😂😂 any tips I should know about Zarya

hey A10, thanks for this, I've been playing lots of zarya this week, went from silver 4 to plat 4 today, want to reach Diamond for the first time. Noticed you use 5 sens, I was wondering what's your mouse DPI?

"When youre already GM look how easy it is to get back there"

Im 2 months into overwatch 2 im so ass watching videos like this makes me play a tad bit better, although my overall game sense and knowing other abilities timing i am so bad ar

28:45 cracked

Yessss

maybe i need coaching because i feel like im always trying so hard and i dont know what to do when it feels like my team, if im away for like a second, they int and die

A 10 and Awkward boost me in a ranked.Thx alot👌

Tracer pulled the chair at 2:12:10 😂

first GM coach that i see saying, " I have no shame if i lose".....got yourself a follower. and I mean it, no irony intennded, ive seen prety good "players" coaching on line and quiting games that seemed lost, and bitching about other players....and that is just sad. in fact the saddest thing that can happen in this game.

LETS FUCKING GOOO

does he ever explain his grav strategy?

I slept to this by mistake i think im gonna be a zarya otp

1:23:05 Most of my QUICKPLAY games are like this real lobby, kinda crazy

Unranked to GM is an excuse to beat up low ranks

So this is why all the tanks in gold are diving the enemies back line and die trying to do what you do lol

2:26:00 "I have the high ground Anakin!"

overwatch my favorite corn

Pepperoni..... sandwich? That sounds hardcore. Edit: Oh salami.

1:54:39 센스있게 시그마를 잡으려고 올렸는데 센스있게 불사를 깔아준 바티스트

whoo fundementals

I watched less than half of the video and started doing more damage than both our dps combined almost every game and getting 5 W 0 L rankups. What a guide

That Prediction at 28:45! Chefs kiss lmao 👌

Gods got him in a corner…. He’s caged and his back is against the wall. Do not let up, this is where it can turn. Like a 50/50

Fr zarya feels like hog with lasers

TAKE UP *S P A C E*

A10 I’m GM 3 and I just want to know how to beat a rein matchup when I’m on zarya, because I low ranks and masters I win because reins aren’t good but In GM it’s different.

at 2:50 you just ignore the rein arent you just leaving your team to get killed?

21:22 I to old for this😭

Please do echo i know samito did one but doesnt teach anythin just yells at his supports lol

Oh no not the metro comment

48:56 Imagine we could gain ult charge/health by doing push ups and other emotes

I just want to only play winston. I made it to masters but seriously it is sad to see how much easier some tanks are to play compared to others. I cannot do that much as winston vs lets say hog, bap, brig, bastion, soldier. I guess some tanks are just easier to one trick

I know this is a bad mindset, but when IAM fully charged with zarya... My mind switch's off cause I don't need it anymore and I get down to business with any enemy insight😂😂😊
