So i’ve seen on their twitter that you now can connect a yt acc to get rewards for watching contender games on yt.
Do the battle.net connection count towards contenders as well? And not only overwatch league?
I also saw on the contenders yt channel that there will be a match tmr 13 hours from now, is that game i have to watch 4 hours to earn the contender skins for orisa and ashe?
Next matches are at 6 AM EST (12 hr 30 mins away). Make sure you see ‘Connected’ (a diamond looking symbol with a small check mark) when you leave it on. For clarification it’s 5 hours for Orisa, then an additional 5 for Ashe (10 hours total - not 15 like it may read).
Reference this post for specifics and troubleshooting if you run into issues:
I think this morning’s (which also started at 6 AM) only lasted 2 hours or so. Think it was only 2 matches… not sure. Then again on August 9 and 10 it’s 6 AM again both days. The post I referenced shows the schedule for all opportunities to get the 10 total hours in August.
These are all of the opportunities you have to get 10 hours in August (all times are in EST as they show for my region and I copy/pasted):
