Overwatch League Season 1 2018

Too bad it doesn't work at all for them.

[SamanosukeShiva]

Fuel has 11 players now, since stage 2 is going to be in mercy nerf patch, thats 50% of their problem gone right there at least

[Silenka]

They still have tank problems and for some reason forcing Seagull to play Junkrat 90% of the time. If they fix those problems and somehow keep Taimou from hanging himself on twitter they might do all right.

[SamanosukeShiva]

with Rascal and AKM in the roster, Seagull is gonna be perma benched lol

Just in time for stage 2!

Today Twitch announced that, in collaboration with Blizzard, it’s gonna start offering in-game rewards to Overwatch League viewers. If you link your Battle.net account with your Twitch account, you’ll be able to earn League Tokens—which are a special Overwatch currency that you can use to buy OWL character skins, as opposed to regular skins—by watching.

Gotta get enough tokens to get the Spitfire Mercy skin to go along with my D.Va skin~

[synistar]

Oh the lulz. Unlock Overwatch twitch emotes with Twitch bits/cheers. And there's already a shmuck that tossed in $1,000+ already. Milk the Twitch cash cow!

[Corrderio]

Who needs balance/QOL changes? Let's milk the OWL til it runs dry!

[Tomiko]

For those watching to get tokens, it seems you need to be online/active on Twitch when the map ends, being idle and watching won't give you tokens. I didn't find that out until map 3 when I got a notification. Getting rewards from map 4 confirmed it for me. I had been watching from the start and only got those 2 rewards.

Edit: Seems it may have been a glitch.

Fuel Stage1: Mercy meta is killing us, we can't win
Fuel Stage2: Mercy got nerfed and is no longer the meta, let's play Mercy on every map

wat

[Tomiko]

To unlock the Tracer skin, it takes 40 million bits, which amounts to $400k. That seems quite excessive if they plan on doing these goals every week.

[synistar]

Silly that it's already at $88k. Twitch has made about $25k-30k from all the bits.

There's a new Tracer skin?

Should answer everything.

And odds of winning 100 tokens at the end of a match - 632 winners in 100k eligible viewers. 894 winners if there are 200k eligible viewers. Odds formula is [(eligible viewers)^0.5]*2

They just interviewed Xavier Woods (WWE wrestler) during halftime of the London-Houston game.

Last part of the interview:

Crazy night tonight. Houston upsets London in 5 and Philly beat Boston 3-0 (about to start round 4).

Carpe was on fire as Widow on Hollywood.

Shanghai's coach steps down, or was fired, take your pick.

[Serra]

Shanghai takes one from Seoul -- was hoping the quad tank would work for them in map 4, but nope
