Hello everyone,
As I anticipated, Season 17 has officially ended. Competitive play on the live servers is locked at this time until the new patch goes live. Continue to follow @PlayOverwatch on Twitter for updates!
I anticipate that patch 1.39 (which includes the start of the Role Queue Beta competitive 2-week season) will go live at 11:00 AM PDT (which is in two hours from the time of this post).
Cheers everyone and I will see all of you on the other side! Share with me how excited you are for the upcoming patch!
