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

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 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.

he smurfed multiple games of mine while streaming „educational“ unrated to grandmaster… not cool. tbh every content creator advertising smurfing in some way, lost my respect. it is just not „educational“ if someone who plays a game multiple hours a day, shit on normal people playing the game some hours a week…

It feels surreal to see you guys make a video on mL7. The only thing I wish the video included is my favourite thing about his stream to this day, which he called "dead inside mode". He'd turn what would otherwise be a tilting experience in losing 3 games in a row to something which was hype to watch. After losing 3 games in a row, he'd wear the skull mask, turn up the music, talk less and go into a focused carry mode to try and win the next game. While it was cringe to some, it was hype and unique to a lot of us and summed up his never give up attitude. Something that's stuck with him until today even without his dead inside mode. ♥

It's funny that the two most legendary Ana players have vastly contrasting sensitivity. Ryujehong was known for his insanely low sens, while ML7 is the complete opposite. Yet both have absolutely cracked sleep darts.

800 and 7 is for sure on the faster side, but nowhere near Haksal who plays on 800dpi and 26.5, but 30.5 on his signature hero genji. That equates to a mouthwatering 6.5cm/360 and 5.7cm/360 on genji. For reference, mL7 is at 24.7cm/360. Although ML7's cs 1.6 sens is at 2.7cm/360 lmaoo.

also I just wanna say, even though hes like an ana otp his educational content for the other support heroes are unparalleled. he dropped a Lucio unranked 2 gm series a year or so ago, at that point I had been onetricking lucio for about a year myself, but edu content regarding lucio was so scarce and outdated at that point that his series singlehandedly taught me the fundamentals of my main hero when nobody else did. in fact not a single one of the various coaches I had worked with at that point were willing or able to coach lucio. I only met a coach that actually spoke to me when i was playing lucio a few months ago when I started scrimming in the masters-lowgm range.

I remember having like 15 sens in 1.6 with mouse acceleration on in Windows settings (about 7 without it). Everyone I told about my sense also thought I'm crazy. His 19 was also with Windows mouse accel on, because without it 19 would make it literally impossible to move mouse by 1 pixel.

But his scripting does seem like he has actually been playing and paying attention to the twitch category. Mad respect. Great video
