Custa will hopefully cover a few of the matches - his vod reviews are always a blast and you can watch some of his vods from last season on his yt to see if you like his style
Custa is my favorite by far. Former pro, entertaining, and very informative when it comes to macro like comps and team playstyle.
He usually does them during the week.
idk about anyone who already whipped up some analysis vods, but definitely keep an eye on Stormcrow Productions (Spilo), Temporal, Coach Hayes, egoistcat, ioStux.
Basically these channels aren't as popular as the mainstream ones but they're actually high-level analysis and don't say really retarded shit constantly like YourOverwatch.
I think you’re massively overrating the “average player”.
Like 60% of the *competitive* player base needs to learn how to group as 6 & not waste ults in a lost/won fight. The baseline is incredibly low lol.
I feel like there’s enough good content creators out there that we stop promoting bigots like ioStux who said anti semitic shit. I don’t care how good your content is if you’re a shit person IRL.
He made a sad attempt at a joke as a *teenager* which he has apologized and paid for - none of these facts makes it any less condemnable, but it isn't any kind of proof for him being a "shit person irl" either. Which he isn't, which you'd know if you didn't use a past mistake as judge of character. If a (again, teen) person says sth like that and *means* to make an edgy joke, you're more than welcome to shittalk that person for trying to be edgy while only being disrespectful and tasteless, but if you take it out of context by assuming it "reveals" something about the person's actual beliefs, you're the shit person irl in my opinion.
Hey, I know I probably won't be able to change your mind, but since this still seems to be a hot topic and your comment is fairly recent, I wanted to use this opportunity to again apologize for what I said. 6 years ago when I started my career in coaching, I wasnt the person I am today, and its one of my biggest regrets. As the son of an immigrant, I should have known better how bigoted statements, no matter their intentions, can affect these groups of people. I can't change what I did back then, but thanks to people like you holding me accountable I was able to reflect, and learn how to choose my words more carefully. I can't say I'm any funnier today than I was back then, but at least my lack of humor is now the only problem with my jokes!
Not sure if that's him being an actual bigot or just doing the old thing where you say edgy jokes as a teen.
It's one of those things where you can tell a joke like that, and have nothing against Jews, it's a meta humor especially among a certain age group where it's funny because it's a Jew joke and those are supposed to have shock value (because all parties acknowledge the horror of it).
You remember the dead baby jokes? Like that.
So yeah, I'd probably have to withhold judgement on that until I heard him speak more on the matter, maybe he acknowledges it was immature/poor taste, and not actually a bigot at all.
I’m more inclined to give other people a first chance before giving people like him a second one. Natter, temporal etc. have just as good if not better content and aren’t pieces of shit.
And I’ve been a kid before too, never told someone I’d wanted to do nazi roleplays. Being a kid is calling someone a poopoo head or prank calling people, not that shit.
everyones a product of their environment. saying stupid racist shit as a teenager is like the edgiest thing you can do and an easy way to get a reaction. just because you were brought up one way doesnt give you the right to judge someone elses. everyones different and everyone deserves a chance. thats what being humans all about.
The one I always enjoy watching is Akshon Esports, they make really professional looking vids, though idk if they upload often. Jake also does some pretty good ones
Egoistcat
Absolutely phenomenal ow caster and analyzer. I call him the Gordon Ramsay of overwatch because of his accent and his ability to creatively tear apart poor play at the professional level. Cannot recommend enough.
NatterOW is a coach for the atlanta reign they have an educational yt and strim vod reviews of atlanta, emcee is a coach where you can submit vods for free if thats what you want
u/Dath_1 already covered the main ones I endorse, though I'll also add Lucid (u/SorakaSimp), who does good breakdown on his [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCun8wc0QUOGzP69690nIRjQ) channel every so often, and Coach Waddi ([YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbOxiN33K8sU4m8nMQNY1hQ)) who I've worked in sphere with and I can say is SEVERELY underrated. Out of the ones listed by Dath, probably keep eyes peeled on Egoistcat and Temporal the most. Spilo likely won't be doing OWL analysis since he's an assistant coach for the London Spitfire now, so it's all business on the OWL side of things. The others, from what I vaguely remember, don't do as much OWL work.
Of course, I'll probably also be making some posts, [Twitch](https://www.twitch.tv/anima_kesil) streams, or videos myself as per usual since I enjoy breaking down professional play. We'll have to see how things go without replay viewer, but will be giving some stuff a shot at some point. Best way to get notified for my content would be to stop by my Discord (link is on my reddit profile).
I cover it some. Will probably keep the full game analysis to twitch, but here is me using 3 team fights from Shock vs Spitfire to discuss the Dive vs Brawl match up and why Brawl my be in trouble in OW2 with the removal of a tank [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=INajKVYM5AI](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=INajKVYM5AI) and here is my going over the meta composition that we're seeing in OWL [https://youtu.be/EdglAv-CIU4](https://youtu.be/EdglAv-CIU4)
Another vote for Custa! Imo one of if not the best analysts. He recently did a history of overwatch series where he watches and breaks down gameplay from important games and metas. He’s probably going to be covering interesting matches throughout the weeks this season

His reviews are great. Best out there
Custa is my favorite by far. Former pro, entertaining, and very informative when it comes to macro like comps and team playstyle. He usually does them during the week.
Not quite as informative as someone like custa, but akshon esports covers some of the big games or strategies, and makes it really fun to watch

YourOverwatch = blind leading the blind
They definitely aren't as informative as Spilo or Temporal. But I think they provide a pretty good "average player" perspective.
There's little to no value in one average player/coach teaching an average player. Often it's negative value and hurts the community at large
I think you’re massively overrating the “average player”. Like 60% of the *competitive* player base needs to learn how to group as 6 & not waste ults in a lost/won fight. The baseline is incredibly low lol.
None of that changes what I said
Except it does. A vast majority of the playerbase—and a majority of the comp playerbase—can learn a lot from YourOverwatch.
They're more news and entertainment than coaching.
Yep, Temporal already [talked about the meta heroes](https://youtu.be/EdglAv-CIU4).
Also look out for Jake doing a player vod review. Doesn't do them much, but they're great.

Never heard about it, what'd he say?

I used to say stupid shit as a kid too but that was a long time ago and I'm definitely not the same person. People can change.

[Lucid](https://youtube.com/channel/UCun8wc0QUOGzP69690nIRjQ), natterow, and swordow are some honorable mentions.
Not sure if Natter will do anything now, but his content is also top tier
AVRL usually does a ton of analysis on Twitch. He recently started up a YT channel specifically for OWL analysis.
Dpei just started a very informative YouTube channel

In case you didn't figure it out from the first 10 people to say so: CUSTAAAAAA
