Fantasy Overwatch Underground

The first week back from the May Melee did not disappoint - we were privileged to see Sparkle's OWL debut and Haksal's return to play, neither of which disappointed. Catch my thoughts on Kevster's impact for fantasy followed by a recap of every match this last weekend. OWL is back, Fantasty Underground is back - let's goooo!

Waivers, Buy Low Candidates, and Match Recaps. You know the drill by now. If you haven't listened yet, I bet you ain't starting now. If you're continuing to listen... thanks for coming back. Solo show this week so buckle up, get comfortable, and try not to fall asleep.

@Dhulky goes solo this week with a detailed recap of teams we saw for the first time including Chengdu, Hangzhou, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Seoul. Listen in for some detailed game film review with a strong leaning towards fantasy impact.

A new way to play fantasy Overwatch AND a stacked week of Overwatch League! I give some advice on Draftbuff’s new “Draft Royale” for weekend long fantasy matchups. @FliedLice comes on before that to talk betting odds and matchups, which leads into my outlook on picking players for the week for Draftbuff’s first week of Draft Royales. Good to be back after a short OWL hiatus – let’s gooooooo!

We try to venture out and get a little bit smarter this week. Overwatch Contenders coach @maid_ow who has some fantastic OWL vod reviews on his Twitch channel maidoverwatch lends his coaching experience to tell us a little bit about how he thinks about hero pools, playtime situations, and parsing good players from good coaching. Overall, less bad fantasy advice and more learning about Overwatch this week!

@esportsBrock who writes for @TGHesports brings his Boston Uprising expertise to breakdown the Houston vs. Boston fantasy monster of a match. As we suffer through more match delays, Brock and dhulky also share which players they're comfortable cutting vs. who they're holding on to.

@TheoSalaun aka Tepojama from @HNP_FOWLPlay joins @dhulky to briefly recap week 2, but with it being a shorter week, we also discuss how to address Fury's benching in Philadelphia, what to do with your captain/utility slot, and some trends/opportunities to jump on in the near future, like buying low on Mei players just before hero pools. @TheoSalaun has some of the best advice Fantasy Overwatch has to offer - you won't want to miss this one!

@Edanaroverwatch, the Edgelord himself, from @owlbythenumbers joins as a guest to let us know where we as a Fantasy community made some good predictions and where we may have to admit we didn't. Find out what results we believe in and which ones we need to collect more data points as we wait and see what happens.

It's time for Week One Waiver Wire - @dhulky has written an article on highnoon.gg with the top 12 waiver wire players for week one and covers them in more detail on this episode. They're here early this week to help you beat your league mates to the waiver wire. Edanar from OWL by the numbers will be on this Thursday so stay tuned for more content this week!

We've got some tips for Day one of Daily Fantasy on Fantasy OWL (fantasyowl.com) value plays, solid plays at their price, player to avoid, and some interesting longshots for the first day.
