How Counter-Strike and a Crazy Sensitivity Created the Support God of Overwatch - Video

When the average, everyday egamer tunes into Twitch, it’s usually to watch someone, well, carry.

Whether they’re a total Chad, making everyone else look like trash or simply the best, there’s no denying that streaming’s biggest superstars tend to be those who fill out the flashiest roles not just because they deserve to but because they want to.

And, in the vast majority of esports, it’s those damage-dealing savants who end up headlining their respective streaming categories. Because, for better or for worse, there’s this assumption that if you’re super duper cracked, you must be a carry.

But, suffice it to say, that isn’t always the most effective way to exploit someone’s awesomeness.

In fact, there are countless cyber athletes across esports who, despite branding themselves as selfless enablers, have cemented themselves as some of the biggest, most badass enchiladas their esport has to offer.

And in the somewhat quiet stomping grounds that is Twitch’s Overwatch tab, there is one streamer among a handful of mainstays who’s managed to grow a huge following of loyal, adoring admirers. Not by hitting sick Widow flicks or earth-shattering Rein ults, but by brandishing his very own brand of awesome, edifying support.

Meet Mihai ‘mL7’ Lupașcu, the health-bestowing aimbot who’s spent years not only churning out sultry, clip-worthy Sleep Darts but spitting science about supporting to his ever-growing audience.
