Dep taking a little time to come online? Come on Jake. Dep took a dozen shots on Mercy before killing her.

Dep’s Widow is weak.

Wait… Why does a country whose flag only has white and red on it, have blue uniforms? I’m confused.

I knew that because I watch a ton of soccer, the best sport in the world. Football is the proper term but since I’m American I don’t want to come off as pretentious.

It looked like he was trying to Rez Ken, but Tenten on D.Va was right there to kill him

I do believe there will be streaming rewards throughout the Overwatch League All-Star weekend two weeks from today. Be sure to follow Overwatch League on Twitter for any new developments. I have a feeling they will have a few surprises still to be revealed.
