ADVISORY ABOUT TOKEN REWARDS

There are reports that drops are NOT working when trying to watch the streams on OverwatchLeague.com , the Overwatch League App, the Blizzard Esports App, or Blizzard BattleNet app launcher. To ensure that you are earning tokens, I strongly recommend watching from twitch.tv/overwatchleague with a linked Twitch account to your BattleNet account. I have reported this issue to Blizzard but it may take time for this issue to resolve.

ive been anticipating this match for a while now bc i wanna see nyxl vs janus

4

So uh, how good is Washington Justice?

This is my first Season

5

Brand spankin new team. Will note that many 2018 NYXL coaches now serve Washington Justice

6

No clue, they are a new team. NYXL was the best team of the last season though.

7

inb4 2 upsets in a row

8

Where you doing this last year? I never knew when streams were on back then.

Thank you. I know it’s just to increase viewership, but it’s really helpful nevertheless.

GOATS ResidentSleeper

10

YEAHHH, LET’S GO JJ!

11

I’m probably just going to take notes from Jonak by watching from his POV the whole game unless it looks like it’s not going to be an NYXL stomp.

12

Let’s see if the trend of new teams winning continues.

Also go Justice!

13

Even better! I’d get to see how a pro Zen deals with a losing team fight.

14

I get to see through his glorious POV one last time… Let’s go!

15

Yeah these threads were going on last season. Wyoming does not have anything to do with OWL though. He is just a fan that has proven his helpfulness to Blizzard.

16

Roster rated very low, no actual performances to judge from.
I think they’ll exceed expectations by being middle of the pack.

17

It’s reaching the point where I’m intrigued as to which OG side gets the first win against an expansion side

18

WyomingMist, the guy who does these, doesn’t work for Blizzard. He is just a super great member of the community.

Why did they grav and shatter at the same time?

This copypasta is finally relevant

I mean, little s*** like this is why Fahzix got picked up, right? He never had insane mechanics, but every time I watch him stream he displays an incredible amount of not just gamesense but “game knowledge”, if that makes sense. He knows every little trick/quirk about the characters he plays (and sometimes those he doesn’t play, as evidenced by this clip), how and when these things can be used, and just a general intricacy in everything he does. Still remember getting my mind blown watching him use D.va bomb to get high ground as Zen in transcendence
