REWARD ADVISORIES

  • Non-Twitch platforms (BattleNet, OverwatchLeague.com ) for a while were not issuing tokens, but I believe this is now resolved from here on out.
  • Players of non-eligible countries were earning tokens but have now stopped. Only certain countries are eligible for this promotion. See official rules for details .
  • The message in the Twitch notification has changed, it now says “You have received # OWL Tokens (note the plural) Drops for watching Overwatch”. This means each single notification means you earned 3 tokens. It is no longer a notification for a single token.

Let’s go Titans.

I’d post that super hype pic Shocks twitter shared but alas no t3.

3

I’m hoping Striker gets more playtime, but until the meta changes I don’t think he will get much. Same with most of Shock’s DPS.

This is going to be a fun one. Vancouver got pushed very hard by GZ last night

I can’t play Hammond for crap, but I do like other people playing him and see what they do…when I don’t have to fight him(I find Hammond annoying to fight sometimes. He’s alright for the most part though)

14

Hammond is nuts, best way to practice him is to just up the settings so he has infinite grapples and just swing around like Tarzan.

15

Well at least it wasn’t normal goats. Also using the grapple to engage in fights is dumb, you best to use it to flee fights before you get melted. Hammond is a pock damage type, that is why you have Zarya, to bubble him.

16

Bumper goes down and I’m like “NUUUUUU” then Seominsoo just clutches out.

Playing with my emotions…

17

Gotta say I’m not sure about the starting 6 San Fran had. All brilliant players, butit was 5 Koreans and Moth. The language barrier feels like it should be a big problem for them.

18

SFS Staff do not wanna look bad if they keep their Korean team as a separate roster.

19

Bumper’s aggressiveness is going to give me a heart attack :frowning:

Meh, who needs point B? Just go straight to C
