The comprehensive training approach provides players with a number of tactics and tools that they can utilize to improve their gaming skills, while building important life skills that extend beyond the game.
Why this camp? Why OU?
The Overwatch Esports program at The University of Oklahoma is a team of committed individuals that have played at extremely high levels in competitive Overwatch for years. The head coach has been coaching Overwatch for 3 years, and has been a coach in esports for the most of the last decade, and is an education student at OU that knows how to teach. This camp will also be divided into three sections based on skill level so that players get training more tailored to their current skill level. Our goal at the OU esports camp is for every player to leave our camp with a better understanding of the game and what it means to be in esports!
What to Expect:
During this Overwatch camp campers develop an improved understanding of hero mechanics, enhance strategy in assault, control, escort, and hybrid, learn hidden abilities, perfect your aiming, and much more! You’ll refine team play tactics and callouts. Campers learn how to best capitalize on sight lines as offensive, defensive, tank and support. Learn the best strategies for each hero on health, armor, and shield. You will develop and perfect strategies with coaches & teammates, then test and implement them in games. There will be a tournament with VOD analysis by the OU Esports coaching staff.
