Overwatch League 2019 Stage 1 may have been a 3-3 GOATS-fest, but one team stood tall and refused to conform (mostly). The Chengdu Hunters specialized in Hammond Wrecking Ball comps that could out range and burst down the classic GOATS characters. In order to get this comp to work, it took aggressive engagements and precise use of their ultimate to blow up the mass defense 3 tank 3 support comp. One little mistake would spell doom for them, the comp certainly was boom or bust. That being said, they still did take 3 wins this stage, more than VAL FLA WAS and even out rank the once praised PAR due to map wins. They miss out on playoffs, but already showed they could beat a playoff team in ATL and nearly beat the best team in the world (imo) in GOATS meta, Vancouver Titans. With this overperformance it sets the template for how teams to emulate the Hunters style and break the meta, scraping together wins even when the patch meta is unfavorable to you. Good on ya Hunters, you made it interesting… It’s just too bad GOATS is insanely good. If you enjoyed the video please be sure to leave it a like and don’t forget to subscribe!
