PINE – NEW YORK EXCELSIOR – WIDOWMAKER
While Pine for New York Excelsior is well known for his remarkable McCree skills, he is also great on Widowmaker and he proved that this week during the Saturday match against Houston Outlaws.
Pine was able to get 45 eliminations as the hero, with 32 of them being final blows meaning he is very good at tracking weak and retreating players to finish them off and stagger the team.

Another impressive stat was his 18.35% critical hit accuracy, meaning almost 1/5 of the time Pine shot Widow’s Kiss, he was landing a headshot on an enemy character.
We could watch this Widow battle ALL DAY. @tf2pine #OWL2018

In the first three clips shown, Pine gets a 3K in each play with exceptional aim. With pick after pick it almost seems ridiculous how good Pine’s aim is with the character, and it makes for some amazing gameplay for spectators to watch.

In arguably the flashiest play of the week seen below, Pine kills the enemy Widow and, in an amazing predictive play, grapples up to see Bani attempting to rez and perfectly headshots him at the peak of Widow’s arc. Time and time again, Pine makes getting Widow’s ‘Smooth as Silk’ achievement look easy.
No rez for you! @tf2pine #OWL2018

He also played extremely well as Widow against Boston Uprising on Thursday. In a clip from that match seen below he gets a 2K finishing off with the victory in a Widow vs. Widow match against Mistakes for Boston.

Pine is currently one of the best players around, and gives fan the type of spectacle they crave to see in the top tier levels of the Overwatch League.
