Overwatch Streamer Hits the Highest Rank with a Huge Disadvantage
For a top-level player, a little under a week is not much of achievement until you realize how much of a disadvantage Bogur had.
Like the title says, the first piece of gaming news today relates to an achievement of an Overwatch Streamer named Bogur.
Recently Bogur set a challenge for himself in which whenever he reached a subgoal on Twitch, and he would turn off a key game element while attempting to rank up.
He decided to do this challenge on a brand new account with none of his previous histories. He initially got placed in the Diamond rank and made his way all the way up to Grandmaster in less than a week.
For a top-level player, a little under a week is not much of achievement until you realize how much of a disadvantage Bogur had.
Every time he reached a sub-goal, he turned off another game element to make the challenge even harder.
By the end, Bogur had no audio, no HUD elements, 50% render scale, no voice chat, and no player outlines.
Luckily he was playing one of the tank heroes called Winston, who doesn’t rely too heavily on precise accuracy.
