You aren't climbing because you don't think like this. Learn Overwatch With Me! 

as a newer ow player I am extremely grateful for your energy and mindset, it seems so many others fall victim to the stress the game can put you under. I’ve only watched a few of your videos so far but I’ve learned so much already, thank you so much for your unique contribution to the community ❤

I've been learning Tracer and basically while flanking and fighting, I always try to have a "reserve blink," so two are for using creatively/aggressively and one is for using in emergencies. If I know I have to double blink, I just hold cover until I have all three unless it's like overtime or something and I have no choice. It basically upgrades her kit from one escape (recall) to two escapes. I think I picked it up from a Tracer guide from back in the Overwatch 1 days. Good times.

Finally I’ll be out of Bronze 5 !

also as tracer, i like to play the cleanup role. the fight is a bubble and you’re constantly in orbit looking for the weakest link. even as annoyance, staying alive gets a lot of value. you gotta think about how their team views you and be two steps ahead. practice makes perfect :)

Im nowhere your level but a good piece of advice I heard back in the day that I think feels pretty good for blink management is to use your blinks the way you'd use zarya bubbles, you try to always have at least 1 blink up and try to keep your blink until you're almost at 2.5 seconds before using, so that you always have blinks stocked up for emergencies or for a quick sudden engagement if you still have recall up. I find I never quite run out of blinks this way and always have enough for whatever maneuver Im trying to pull

I love this type of video. I find my thought process wavers a lot during games and I often don’t know how to problem solve while in the moment. This video helps more than you know 🙂

An underrated tip for getting better and climbing (no matter rank or hero): Focus on yourself. How many times have we got tilted, and then, distracted about dumb things? If the game is hard, playing it and being distracted just makes it worse -and typing arguing in chat, do not do that-! HealthyGamerGG has a good video about the "flow state"... it helps a lot with your approach to playing competitive games (or even everything).

Eskay is so soft spoken it's relaxing 😌

It's impressive how well you can explain your thought process while playing. Most of my decision making is subconscious so videos like this really help me understand what I should be thinking about in a fight :)

Watching eskay play tracer is giving me ptsd from when I was shit at tracer ToT she’s not easy. Engagement timing, mechanics, target priority, effective, range, movement, audio ques, matchup knowledge, map knowledge. The difference between tracer and the rest of the roster is that if you mess up sometimes just 1 of those things, you die. But yeah players like gale think they should bring back all the abilities that used to one shot her randomly and also nerf her.

I commend your ability to actually generate targeted goals and truly focus on them as a means of improving rather than just playing to win. It really helps defaulting and its been a godsend to save my mental. Also, a general tip that helped a ton with a lot of characters and especially tracer, is that if you are using movement cooldowns to get somewhere you could get by walking (ex. changing angles behind cover/out of danger) then you are being lazy and impatient and in an effort to decrease your downtime you are actually increasing it

I really love content like this, just feels very raw and is good to view over to see the kind of way i should strive to approach improving on tracer

Just a thing to know - when you want to pulse bomb - instead of throwing it forward in a line - you should be throwing it at the feet of the enemy -/ it does more than 1 thing the lower body hitbox it bigger and as u aim at feet you won't over throw your pulse so if it doesn't *hit* it could be close enough to kill without stick or at least do a little damage also

Having no ego and analyzing your gameplay. Dopee

i don't play tracer but eskay's voice is so calming, this was so nice to listen to in the background while working

Just found this and your attitude towards this game and learning is inspiring! PS: I’d love more tracer videos!

55 seconds into the video: niiiice, those are some good tips for me to focus on as well when trying to learn Tracer.

Opening my eyes to tracer, I have good cool down usage but sometimes struggle to figure out to do. Forcing cool downs on tracer makes so much sense. Thanks Kay

you might not want to hear this... but i think the heart cross hair is holding you back from your full potential! lol =0 =P

Playing tracer taught me that I have a HORRIBLE habit of holding down three directional keys at the same time. I think maybe I never unlearned it when I first started playing because the characters I played were not challenging or specific movement-wise. Apparently I unconsciously learned to RELEASE the directional key opposite to where I want to move, instead of just pressing ONLY the appropriate key. I played like that for years and never noticed. Honestly baffling how my brain works sometimes 🙄

20:35 this type of teaching style is how I learn best 😎 excited for more videos like this

I think you should do this more and with other heroes I love this type of vid

I love your positivity so much

29:27 Yes. yes we do. Tracer isn't quite as bad as Sombra's but she's pretty high up on the hit list.

This is super helpful. It's easy (for me anyway) to forget about target prioritization and just click red stuff in comp. I'll try to remember this next time but I'm just a potato

I’m not climbing because I’m shit actually. All the gm1 players are chillin in masters and I’m hard stuck down here

21:50 it looks like she dropped the shield for a split second, which would allow the pulse to restick to directly on her (fi believe)

This is the calmest gameplay iv seen

great video eskay. i cannot wait to see more uploads from my favorite youtuber.

pulse doesn’t need to be fancy, just think of it as a free pick. if you can be unpredictable with it and be more of an opportunist you’ll get more value imo. also don’t be afraid to fling that thing you can get it back pretty often

I started playing overwatch 1 week ago (i had only around 20 hours of gameplay before that) and now i just like to play tracer and now youtube decided that i was going to watch this lol

I actually love this video thank you eskay

Coach Eskay? Hell ya! Im down!

this was a great video! would love to see more like it :)

We love Eskay! Hope everyone having a good day

I'm trying to learn tracer but scared to do comp for it. Qp feels inconsistent though

Think of tracer as a queen chess piece. The better angles you cut through, the more advantageous your position is. Also.. reverse blink is underrated

this combination of high speed skill, strategic/tactical awareness, and calm gentle low-ego explanation is amazing and something gaming communities need but don’t deserve, lol. So many loud egotistical raging strategically-dense shitheads in gaming who are maybe a bit mechanically good but are… missing the forest for the trees.

Came for the knowledge, left cuz the stuffed animal staring at me

Btw what happened with being shield was she dropped it momentarily meaning the bomb stuck to her, weird tech to know

Completely by accident, I have the exact same crosshair as Eskay which is kinda cool

Gonna rank up to Bronze 5 now❗️❗️

love you eskay hope youre having a great night :3

I would like to know tracer but in console im stuck with that awful FOV i get disoriented way faster than with other heroes 😢

Everyone always says go torb for the tracer, but tracers know genji is your biggest counter.

12:55 That window!!! oh mannnn. that woulda made me tingly in my pants if that happened to me!

Never been this early to an eskay video

Eskay has a Mega brain 🧠 :>

It’s crazy seeing a GM level player start out looking worse than you, a bronze console tracer main, and then immediately adapting because of sheer mechanical skill. It’s so cool. The misuse of blink and missed pulse bombs was definitely difficult to watch tho 😭

Can you make a video showing how to climb as Ana? Please

you owned me on shambali, wp

Love your content, queen!!!

21:53 she let her shield go so the bomb dropped on her, not a bug

cant count how many times bastion saved my ass after i couldnt bring enough value with tracer lol

So I'm a silver dps and 100% know Im a silver dps, but legit feel overwhelmed by how much Idk xD Was wondering if anyone had advice on what to focus on early when just learning how to play overwatch.

hope you get gm good luck!

At 22:12 she says she should have died on the cart. Why? Someone please explain to me

i came here to learn and first thing i see is tickling everyone and missing pulse bomb, u still higher rank than me . what can i say

The only chance ill ever have of eskay saying hi. Hi eskay

Yes plz school me eskay love the videos like this. I’m plat and I need the tips.

What is that custom game called or how do we get it I would like to practice with that?

WHAT IS THE SONG IN THE BACKGROUND I KNOW IT BUT I DON'T KNOW IT

2:34 why doesn’t Eskay go with teammate comms?

how did zaria kill somebody with deflect 6:19

tracer is so fun, one day I'll be good

15:44 is why ranked sucks this season 😭 The games have been good though.

anyone notice at 6:19 the killfeed says zarya killed mech with a reflect?

@2:40 “shoot orisa.” For what? How about the damn zen who is 1 that she has been pointing out?

Oh boy can't wait to get out of gold

Why should you aim at the body on Tracer?

I wish I had a pc. I think I could climb really high with a mouse and keyboard.

How is this plushy better than me on Tracer & I am a Tracer/Zen one-trick???.....Truly I am sad 😣

bold of you to assume I think a all

58 seconds !!

what's the background song called? It's supper relaxing.

What’s the workshop code?

Its either a bug or just a new thing for Brig, but her shield doesn’t block pulse bombs anymore

Yeah I’m basically plat

All I see is more reasons to play bastion

Long ahh title we gotta do better

Not climbing fast cause i get lucio zen onetriks on supp that get trains ran on them n healing simply out damaged n my rank got reset from top 500 again for the 100th time n for some reason yall never find jesus or a new character to play or understand that ttheres 1000s of u now n that ur heals are basically even more underwhelming somehow after the healing nerf yall will continue to force ur bad selfish picks and choose to be hinderrella and leach the SR and patience out of ur teammates as y watch them perish around u never swapping or jus going and playing a one player game since yall obviously dont wanna play supp yall jus wanna wonder around emote spam voice lines and play dora the explora n not even do it in qp like a decent human being would

man you falling of the map cus the boat you blinked onto glitched or whatever was rough. like you made it but game decided nah.

meow

no, im not climbing because im not playing the game 😎

The view count goes up as you’re watching now??

zen 1, but he's sitting behind 3 full health players....newb....bad callout...i need to be careful because I'm playing in front of my tank and really i can't do much here but die....tracers who just hope everything works out....yep wasted abilities...you really teach new hero's you don't hardly know well....eskay play with no battle pass, see how amazing you really are for once...games rigged and you can't teach it anyways...lameeee vid

I climb and drop not because I don’t think like this but I just have leavers and teammates who don’t know what they are doing 😂

Perfect example of how streamers are boosted...... this is gold level tracer play

why are you playing sniper Tracer? my Tracer is better than this i'm in gold

Hey Eskay I don’t think you will see this but it might help someone else climb as well. You talked about feeling overwhelmed when you talked about trying to also focus on aiming with movement as well as all the other things. The solution to this is to NOT focus on a bunch of things at once. For example, for a number of hours just focus on blink usage and recall usage and “autopilot” everything else. Eventually you won’t need to think about those things and good usage will become your autopilot. Then you will move on to something else. Obviously you will have to cycle back to ability usage as your focus as you climb higher. Naturally though, when learning a new character in this you will loose SR temporarily as you make plenty of mistakes. Although you WILL be learning at a very fast rate. Ironically, to climb you have to not care about climbing. You can’t think about winning and loosing. You have to just focus on your own performance. Which is incredibly difficult. Though can be trained over time. Thank y’all for coming to my TED Talk lmao

There is nothing more frustrating than getting a zen to 6 hp and then watching him murder the whole team cuz you didn’t kill him!

i know this may come off wrong but i love watching ur videos because ur so soft spoken like the feminine voice u have it so soothing in a way

Hi :3
