It's always a good idea to practice linking two techniques together. This way you will be able to perform combinations very fluidly and on the spur of the moment.
The Omoplata is the perfect counter to an Armlock Escape. So practicing linking an Armlock and, if the opponent escapes, flowing to an Omoplata works very effectively.
As we can see in this detailed video of the application stage of the armlock performed by Rodrigo Gracie. Imagine blue countering by pushing on white's leg that is closer to blue's head. Pushing the leg over his head.
Now blue rises up to escape and white continues the momentum spinning while passing his leg over blue's arm (that white should still be holding) while reaching over the lower back of blue to secure the Omoplata.
Next time we'll be looking at a different Armlock Escape and the Omoplata Counter.
