I gotta say, the lessons you learn from A10 aren't just about game sense. Dude is dropping bombs about checking your ego at the door, always looking for ways to improve, just overall emotional intelligence and being patient. Inspiring my dude.
That is game sense, if your focused on objectives, and winning, instead of inflating your ego. Example sometimes teabaging and taunting, is a strategy I use to tilt the other enemy players to challenge me, but at their expense by getting them out of position, or stopping them from doing their role. But if you feel like you don't care about objectives because you got diffed, that's why you need to check your ego. I've been in countless game where I had to tell my team to focus objectives not the stats, you can win being negatives easily if the other team is just kill hungry, or inflating their egos too busy trying to prove they are better. These things are game sense, not everyone have it though, but just because you didn't have don't mean your bad, we all learn differently, and this guy is like a teacher, breaking things down things for those who those who lack game sense. I noticed a lot of new gamers were born during the pandemic, So we have people that's been playing games for decades, versus people who are starting games for about a couple years or been off of games for decades, so keep that in mind.
I remember watching A10 in like 2021 hard stuck plat/diamond for most of the year and even into some of 2022. Now I'm actually GM. One thing that helped me is that it's impossible for you to implement EVERYTHING he says all at once. Just take 2 or 3 things he talks about and focus on those for the week. Once those become second nature, then move on to the next
dude i’m hardstuck bronze/silver. yes i know just playing the game more will help me but this video will 100% help me too. i don’t have much time throughout the week to put into comp like i used to either so that might play a factor in my ranks lol
watching you go thru the ranks i'm stuck in and exposing all the mistakes they're making that i couldn't see, is helping me climb so much lol thank you a10
I’m the complete opposite, I was gm in 2016-2018 (4.2-3k) and now I’m only diamond 🤣 trying to get back into the game after 4 years, but I wish you luck!
same. play 2 matches watch an A10 match. and always try and remember your last match and compare it to his. if I try'd this hard in school... well I'd still be working the saem job and all but better grades ig

Boop him or not to boop him? At 1:35:01 "I guess the lesson here is, they'll eventually make a mistake (and we beat them then)" "When's the last time you had sixteen deaths in ten minutes?" (In that way. Yeah this was a challenging person to play with.)
im super grateful for that slideshow at the beginning, those are things that people think are only for low elos when really they're the most important things in the game
The rules for dummies Rule 1. Save your strength and strike when they are weak. Rule 2. Play intelligently to minimize resources used and then regenerate your strength. Rule 3. If you don’t need your resources for a while (when the enemy can’t threaten to take space) you can use them for a free cooldown Rule 4. Give space to reclaim advantaged positioning
A10 you are undoubtedly the best educational Overwatch creator, you fact that you go through your entire thought process, and the fact that you teach the fundamentals that not many even in high elo know of is great, great videos man, keep it up
i think a problem with a lot of people is that we can hold our own if we have team members that we are communicating and making plays with, but we don’t know to carry in situations where your team isn’t on the same wavelength, and that’s where these videos help the most
Love to see a Junkerqueen unranked to GM from you. I feel like the Hog changes have made her even more viable, but her weaknesses are still prevalent, she needs to really love corners!
I think your the only ow top 500 player that actually “educates” in these videos, other unranked to gm videos are just top 500 players going vs lower ranks without explaining how to play or why they do things
One thing i definitely noticed i didn't do was the importance of surviving, and doubling back and how it adds value. I noticed my main issue was that i would chase kills without thinking of the bigger picture. Thank you for these vids man they're amazing
Probably the biggest thing for me to realize is that you don't have to be on the objective to defend it. The objective is in open space (thanks a10) so if you aren't engaged with the enemy and you are holding the objective it is wayyyyy better to hold around the objective in a favorable position. My brain would always just think "oh the objective is important so I shouldn't leave
Definitely one of the worst things about low ELO is that players think “playing the objective” means standing in or directly on top of the objective. Countless games in Gold lobbies see an entire team of 5 only standing on the payload and never stepping away from it, even if it’s in a bad position.
@brandonszpot8948 a few of my friends are silver and this loses them games more than anything else. They never push advantages or hold better positions like high ground, which also makes it harder to play with them because if I off angle or play high ground or something, I'm alone and die.
@@brandonszpot8948 I see the opposite. Doouble snipes, ana zen. No one wants to touch point and it moves for free.. Tiptoeing it doesnt work and the snipes dont want to rotate to flank. When you go round to flank as dva they all "tank throwing??? gg? play rein we need shield!" in chat
I love these unranked to GM videos. I’ve watched each one you’ve put out for OW2 keep up the great work! I really like how you stress that it’s not mechanics, it’s decision making that makes you successful
Hey a10, haven’t watched this yet but have been waiting for this video because i already know its gonna be super helpful. Im a support main but Dva is my favorite tank and after watching ur dva unranked to GM in ow1 almost 2 years ago i went from a plat lvl tank to a masters lvl so im excited to see this. Thanks for the content you make :)
this is amazing content for me, havent touched the game since before sigma so i have a lot to relearn and starting it all over on mnk really appreciate this vid
this is incredible thank you so much!! i absolutely love and appreciate the slides as well, you have the information so well organized :) i will definitely be referring back to this video and recommending it to friends!!
@@travismurdoch7167yeah for sure. Though it’s a lot of new information at once it can be overwhelming. I watched his old dva ur2gm many times and I feel like I forgot so much. Also, I just wonder how I could ever have that level of awareness yk? And like how do I make this stuff all stick in my brain while playing?
@@catgirlow I suppose it would help to know which thing is most important to improve. I don’t know what to prioritize so I end up focusing on too much at once lol
Dva is not broken, but her entire kit is build around neutral gameplay. No special mechanics, no cheese - just fast vertical mobility, burst damage, second life chance, incoming damage reduction. Literally every skill boosts neutral gameplay, which allows you to exploit map and pick openings much more efficient.
Current M3 tank , started to play dva after watching you. I went 5-5 which is not bad for first time picking up dva . Your vid is amazingly educational and helped me a lot . My main thing I found out about dva is it’s a very mechanically intensive character once you get up and close I have to work on my accuracy more but general game sense and looking for out of position and out of cooldown enemy to punish I got it down somewhat I feel like.
I don't realize just how valuable positioning was. My poor positioning was holding me back. It had such a large effect just because that alone. Thank you A10 :)
3:30 - "You'll never take me alive" Sometimes I take this very seriously and jump off the map as mercy if there truly is no chance of survival. If i cannot jump off the map then I will fight to the death whilst screaming over comms.
I haven’t played tank in competitive since overwatch 1 cause I felt weird being the only tank but this really helped me! I placed in bronze (lol) but my winrate is 85% currently so I will hopefully climb
Fkng genius, only streamer who would cut a u2gm early, if you cant get the educational part of u2gm then might aswell not stream it, loved the vid and learned a lot
A10 Dankjewel man! I enjoy playing Overwatch thanks to you. I kept raging till I watched your orisa unranked video. Then Ive seen I just sucked at the game. My ego told me I'm good in fps games so I should be good in overwatch. While I kept feeding as a tank. Today I picked up Diva and won all games played. Diving is so much fun. Seeing all those Confused supports. My teammates hate me in the beginning, but till now I was able to do my job to win em all with most elims in every game! Thanks again sensei! I will book a coaching session with you so I can just thank you :D
Holy I've learnt so much and haven't even gotten to the actual clips yet! I'm a diamond dva but I feel like I can deffo improve so much more. I'll try and take on your tips for all my heroes going forwards!
I wish you had more games vs teams that pick symmetra cause i feel like she denys dva a lot. Its harder for me to take space personally when the enemy team has a sym cause she will just tunnel me while being double pocketed or something seems like my only options are to swap or ask my team to help focus her down.
I love starting on attack because playing as the attacking team feels more proactive and it just feels better to defend after attacking rather than to attack after defending
Hi A10! I would love to see a video from you on sightlines on current maps. I know I fall into the trap of walking down the middle. I recognize I should pick my positioning better, but I have a hard time figuring out where it is optimal to be, and when.
I watched this as someone who had never played tank before and only played OW for about 6 months and ranked plat five after my placements. Not bad I’d say. Thanks a lot for the tips
i’d love to see reaper ur2gm, also i gotta say the way u actually talk ab ur own decisions and not whine about what ur team is or isn’t doing is shockingly rare when it comes to videos like these
I've been watching your content for a very long time and tonight something finally clicked from something my coach said... I tend to attempt to play way too fast... I would love some solid psychological tips to slow down my ADHD brain and be able to focus. I don't take meds because i feel they slow me down and I thoroughly enjoy going apeshit in my own head thinking about things (especially lines of code as I'm an amateur software developer). Keep up the solid work A10 and I'll keep learning!
Is the constant "Hello"ing for letting your teammates know you're close? Or just a compulsive thing? Awesome material btw, I got praised yesterday and I can only manage to apply like 10% of this at best for now.
as a master dva im kinda dissapointed with the ending. The games that i enjoy watching the most are the ones with bad teammates and against masters and gm players. Its enjoyable to watch dva dive and team wipe a bunch of gold-plat players who are constantly feeding, wasting cooldowns and in bad positions, but what i rlly wanted to watch more was the hard games against good team comps and dva counters, for example that dorado game where u tried to do ur best against a mei + symettra comp. Im sad u only played like 4-5 of those tough games before u gave up with dva.
sadly the playstyle doesnt work for me because i dont have the aim to punish people even when i realize they are making mistakes the few times i do but great vid very informative (ive tried this playstyle over several months)
A10 I have 2 questions and it will be very cool if you answer because your insight really matters to me since I feel your knowledge of this game is really good. 1) do you still coach? If yes, how can I be coached by you? 2) I already main zarya and dva. I really want to be a good tank player and solo Q to champion + get my top 500 title. Am I good with only these two tanks or do I have to learn a 3rd one, if yes which one? Thank you so much for the video (helps me a lot!!)
A10 I'm curious what is your sens with dva and hud settings? Really enjoying your videos. I'm watching it a bit at a time and applying to my game play. Managed to climb today vs no rank up twice in a row the last time lol (dps & healing).
dude i just started winning on dva with this omg. im bronze and it's so much easier, jesus specifically waiting for them to f up and use their cooldowns before i go in. and not going down main. the punishing over-extenders seems a bit harder for me, unless they're wayyy out of position i think i misunderstand when it's okay to go after them because i forget the squishy's cooldowns like fade and stuff until they use them. so i'll go in after fade intentionally because she doesn't have fade, but i'll also go in when she does have fade because i forget she has it xD lmao. object permanence who. however, i'm targeting specific characters better which is getting hella kills rn.
something that has helped me with cooldowns is just saying them out loud! that way i can also get a feel of when they come back. for example, like what you said, fade - i'll tell myself "moira used fade" (out loud!) and then in about 6 seconds i'll know that she has it again. i often forget/think about too many things and if i just think "oh she used fade" i'll forget about it. where are you ranked now, if you still play?
I'm certain that I'm always in losing team cause I'm 4 stacking with my friends and I know they rarely play any FPS games. We aren't even playing ranked, we only queue QuickPlay and we always end up facing Diamond above players, I even saw a top500 one time (their title tells).
i wondered that too, even if it was a loss i would have liked to see it. maybe it was a complete steamroll and he thought it wasn't productive to watch? idk
First of all, this video is very helpful and educational, thank you! I will be using all this information for all heroes, because lots of tips are useful for most heroes in general Second, where are you from? I seem to be hearing a bit of a Dutch accent, very faint, sometimes when saying certain words
Just found this content. Lecture at the beginning was super insightful. Does anyone know what program A10 is using that has the hero portraits and interactive map?
Taking important lessons for getting General Master rank at this game from channel which is having a Zarya as an Anime girl art as his channel image its certified Overwatch moment.
On games I've popped off on various heroes it's always been with the help of my team. I may be getting alot of the kills but I am not winning 5v1's and I'm definitely not playing perfectly.

I would love some solid psychological tips to slow down my ADHD brain and be able to focus. I don't take meds because i feel they slow me down and I thoroughly enjoy going apeshit in my own head thinking about things (especially lines of code as I'm an amateur software developer). Keep up the solid work A10 and I'll keep learning!
Is the constant "Hello"ing for letting your teammates know you're close? Or just a compulsive thing?
Awesome material btw, I got praised yesterday and I can only manage to apply like 10% of this at best for now.
FANTASTIC VIDEO A10
"A10, back in action!"
You made me discover I could move mouse to the left
Now I never miss a shot anymore
Thank you !
i think i found the BEST EDUCATIONAL GAMER in YT
as a master dva im kinda dissapointed with the ending. The games that i enjoy watching the most are the ones with bad teammates and against masters and gm players. Its enjoyable to watch dva dive and team wipe a bunch of gold-plat players who are constantly feeding, wasting cooldowns and in bad positions, but what i rlly wanted to watch more was the hard games against good team comps and dva counters, for example that dorado game where u tried to do ur best against a mei + symettra comp. Im sad u only played like 4-5 of those tough games before u gave up with dva.
I got crazy improvement in my comprehension of the game with this video. Thanks looks like I won't be gold anymore
Here I was thinking this was going to be the fastest unranked to GM in history
I feel bad for the enemy tanks. You know they were fighting for their lives in coms with all the tank diffs in chat
Also what happened in that circuit royale game, did u guys get a bit stomped on attack xD wanted to see how to deal with widows
Highly recommended.
Watching your content has improved my dps and tank game, but I'm a support main and would love to see something covering that role too.
awkward is a really good support
I'd love to see a junker queen unranked to gm from you
sadly the playstyle doesnt work for me because i dont have the aim to punish people even when i realize they are making mistakes the few times i do but great vid very informative (ive tried this playstyle over several months)
I only have 35 hours game time total on overwatch but in plat 3, ranked is fun! I like the game a lot I’m ready to learn thank you for this video!
A10 I have 2 questions and it will be very cool if you answer because your insight really matters to me since I feel your knowledge of this game is really good.
1) do you still coach? If yes, how can I be coached by you?
2) I already main zarya and dva. I really want to be a good tank player and solo Q to champion + get my top 500 title. Am I good with only these two tanks or do I have to learn a 3rd one, if yes which one?
Thank you so much for the video (helps me a lot!!)
I woke up watching this video, And I like it.
"If you play well you win if you play badly you lose" wow that's some universal godlike logic you're dropping
I get so lost with the view from above on the maps lol
Thumbnail so good I have to click
JQ also would be fun to watch :)
i love what you said at 56:00
through 57:40
1:59:21 OW rag doll physics are so good
Those slides at the beginning are very helpful. Is there a link so we can review them on our own?
Perfect timing
Would love to see you do one of these U2GMs for Ramattra and Doomfist!
I second Rammattra, maybe after they nerf his ult a little. I know A10 said in a recent video he was playing a lot of Ramm lately.
I’m a hanzo one trick so Ive never tried tank but I tried dva after watching this and got 27 elims per 10 and 3.5 deaths 70% wr in plat in 10 hours
what happened to the attack game at 2:52:57
A10 I'm curious what is your sens with dva and hud settings? Really enjoying your videos. I'm watching it a bit at a time and applying to my game play. Managed to climb today vs no rank up twice in a row the last time lol (dps & healing).
please finish this one in the future, who else if not you.
can we get video of hanzo to gm? :D
I hate how bogged down my account is from learning the game on it. It's soooooo much easier to climb on a new account, but I wanna keep my skins lol
dude i just started winning on dva with this omg. im bronze and it's so much easier, jesus
specifically waiting for them to f up and use their cooldowns before i go in. and not going down main.
the punishing over-extenders seems a bit harder for me, unless they're wayyy out of position i think i misunderstand when it's okay to go after them because i forget the squishy's cooldowns like fade and stuff until they use them. so i'll go in after fade intentionally because she doesn't have fade, but i'll also go in when she does have fade because i forget she has it xD lmao. object permanence who.
however, i'm targeting specific characters better which is getting hella kills rn.
something that has helped me with cooldowns is just saying them out loud! that way i can also get a feel of when they come back. for example, like what you said, fade - i'll tell myself "moira used fade" (out loud!) and then in about 6 seconds i'll know that she has it again. i often forget/think about too many things and if i just think "oh she used fade" i'll forget about it.
where are you ranked now, if you still play?
I'm certain that I'm always in losing team cause I'm 4 stacking with my friends and I know they rarely play any FPS games. We aren't even playing ranked, we only queue QuickPlay and we always end up facing Diamond above players, I even saw a top500 one time (their title tells).
why did the rest of this game get cut? it seemed like it was going to be close 2:52:53
Probably the same reason he didn't finish the challenge, he couldn't win
i wondered that too, even if it was a loss i would have liked to see it. maybe it was a complete steamroll and he thought it wasn't productive to watch? idk
Need a dps one now this is entertaining
First of all, this video is very helpful and educational, thank you! I will be using all this information for all heroes, because lots of tips are useful for most heroes in general
Second, where are you from? I seem to be hearing a bit of a Dutch accent, very faint, sometimes when saying certain words
he's half dutch/half scottish :)
@@BLUDHOUNDZ Nice! I thought I heard a bit of a Dutch accent sometimes!
Just found this content. Lecture at the beginning was super insightful. Does anyone know what program A10 is using that has the hero portraits and interactive map?
Taking important lessons for getting General Master rank at this game from channel which is having a Zarya as an Anime girl art as his channel image its certified Overwatch moment.
Pewdiepie of OW
but A10 makes good content?
On games I've popped off on various heroes it's always been with the help of my team. I may be getting alot of the kills but I am not winning 5v1's and I'm definitely not playing perfectly.
wow your tracking is good
rule 4? what are the rules
When is the doomfist unranked to GM coming?
I think mic needs to be a little louder or gameplay sounds quietter
Calling bastion “a resource” gave me a good giggle lmao
Need Rein and Ram in this exact format.
So we're just not gonna talk about the casual Hitchhiker's Guide reference?
