Is there a specific reason why some countries are not eligible?

Local regulations, most likely. Tokens are technically a virtual currency that can be bought with actual money, so my guess is that there are laws in place that regulate earning such a currency for free.

Well, that stinks. I do enjoy the OWL without the tokens but I’d sure like to have more of those nice skins…
What’s about Germany?
Where I can find the list with all the countries?
Couldnt you just use a vpn?
Wyoming explains everything there, plus there’s a pdf document that explains the eligibility of the country.

I thought that was just something that was a problem with Twitch and not giving out tokens in general

Thank you!
Twitch is not a provider of the Overwatch League this year. See this post for details:
Hmm why isn’t Japan eligible? Honestly just curious.

We won’t know the specific reasons for each individual country sadly.
A VPN could solve your problem
Edit: I don’t know if that is against TOS so at your own risk.
A VPN is not a viable solution. Qualification is based on your existing country of residence set by your Blizzard Account, not where you are actually connecting from.

That implies you could change that information?
Yes, but you must provide legal proof of residence in the new country. Here is a support article with further details:
Anyhoo, I’m IN a legible country, have watched via the Owl app for hours, have done that also on the Owl website, and I still get nothing.
This is a fiasco imho.
Fine, but teasing the skins with a link to an empty shop at the start screen for us players in Japan is just cruel…

Why did you necro this? 4 months
Because 4 months later it still sucks…
Now you know how the rest of the world feels.
