Philadelphia's Carpe Shows Off the True Power of Widowmaker

Lee "Carpe" Jae-hyeok is one of the talented players that make up the roster of the Philadelphia Fusion. As one of the team's main damage per second (DPS) players, Carpe is tasked with eliminating as many opponents as he can in a match. Carpe is able to accomplish this task through the expert use of both Tracer and Widowmaker. In their match against the Boston Uprising this past Thursday, the Fusion were up two maps to none and were looking to tie the third map of the match 3-3. With his team near the end of the map, Carpe took the game into his own hands and began an impressive elimination streak with Widowmaker.  

Landing two one shot kills to begin his streak, Carpe's aim with the sniper was as impressive as it can get. With his play getting both Auguste "Semmler" Massonnat and Robert "hexagrams" Kirkbride extremely excited as they casted the action, the man on the mission would rush into the final checkpoint and take on an enemy Winston player and defeat him in close quarter's combat. Grappling behind his team, Carpe was able to establish a perfect line of site of the payload. At this point, it was too easy for Carpe to pick off each Boston Uprising player as they rushed out of their spawn to try and stall the Fusion's completion of the map.  

Widowmaker is one of the strongest characters in the game of Overwatch. With Carpe's collection of impressive eliminations to secure the completion of Hollywood for his team, it is easy to see why teams want a player who is able to utilize the skills of Widowmaker at the highest level. If Carpe continues this kind of play against other top tier teams in the league, the Philadelphia Fusion will have a very strong chance of making the Stage 2 playoffs.
