But during his stream today, former Overwatch League pro Seagull showed off exactly why it might be worth your while to take a few extra minutes to take note of how the game is evolving with one play on the newly renovated escort map, Gibraltar. Having perused through the season five patch notes on Tuesday, Seagull was able to surprise a flanking Reaper from the enemy team that seemed to be a bit lost around the map\u2019s first checkpoint. Hitting him was a flank of his own around one of the map\u2019s new staircases, Seagull left his teammates laughing with comments of \u201cpatch notes diff.\u201d \u201cHe\u2019s not ready for the flank,\u201d he said. \u201cI got the Reaper guy. I don\u2019t think he knew the staircase existed.\u201d Watchpoint: Gibraltar underwent some construction between seasons four and five to account for how much it favored teams on the attack at certain points of the map. Anyone that\u2019s played enough OW has gotten tilted by the choke points near the map\u2019s first checkpoint and how difficult it is to exit the final defender spawn area at times. Related: Emongg jokes about new hero coming to Overwatch 2 in season 5 despite no actual roster additions For that reason, Blizzard redesigned both areas to create a more open feel as well as adding some \u201ccovers and route adjustments\u201d to the map\u2019s second point in the hangar, and as a savvy veteran gamer, Seagull made sure he was acutely aware of what to expect. Fortunately for players, Gibraltar is the only map that experienced anything more than a lighting scheme change. But for those that don\u2019t want to get thrown off by the Overwatch base\u2019s new layout, it might be worth it to create a custom Gibraltar game of your own and run around for a second before queuing yourself into a potentially confusing situation.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Gibraltar_04-e1686697386587.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/889476"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1771"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=889476"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/889476\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":889528,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/889476\/revisions\/889528"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/889479"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=889476"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=889476"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=889476"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=889476"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=889476"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=889476"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=889476"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
