The Overwatch team had been sitting on Brigitte for quite some time. Soon, she’ll be joining the live cast on March 20, in just a few short days. This behind the scenes video shows us the design work that went into Brigitte and her two launch skins. Brigitte joins the fight: 3.20.18 pic.twitter.com/NJv7wLBEAR — Overwatch (@PlayOverwatch) March 15, 2018Brigitte was referred to as a “pally” behind the scenes, no doubt due to her similarities to the World of Warcraft style paladin. It’s worth notin

Since the beginning of the Overwatch League, former Dallas Fuel tank player Felix “xQc” Lengyel has been at the center of controversy. While the responses covered a variety of personal feeling and details, the majority of Overwatch League professionals that said something about Lengyel’s departure were simply sad to see a fellow Overwatch pro leave. I wish we could have seen more of xQc’s exceptional tank play without all the drama and controversy that went along with it. Danteh, Babybay; allows

The Shanghai Dragons have just recently entered stage two, and they’ve already run into multiple spots of bad luck. — London Spitfire (@Spitfire) February 2, 2018We second this statement from @Spitfire . Finally, the Shanghai Dragon’s coach stepped down. All of the above has been wildly unfortunate, and its tough to be a Dragons fan. It’s hard to be a fan of the Shanghai Dragons at the moment, but if things are going to turn around, now seems like the best opportunity for some real changes.

Félix “xQc” Lengyel has agreed to mutually part ways with the Dallas Fuel after several weeks of controversy and two Overwatch League official rulings. “Ultimately, it was in the best interest of our organization and Félix to part ways before the expiration of his contract. “Our focus is to field a roster with players that are available to help the Dallas Fuel succeed now and in the future,” Rufail said. Lengyel was punished by both the League and the Fuel as a result, and was suspended for four

In the three months since it started, the Overwatch League has had a variety of player related incidents, and on Friday, Blizzard announced its largest wave of disciplinary action yet. In a post on the league’s official website, Blizzard laid out the punishments handed down to four different players for various infractions against the league’s player code of conduct. The final disciplinary measure outlined in Blizzard’s post was for Felix “xQc” Lengyel, a player who has had disciplinary issues i

Brigitte, the latest Overwatch support, is currently on the PTR… Don’t worry—we just got the first sneak peek at one of her legendary skins, and it makes the already awesome Brigitte even radder. ️Brigitte’s ENGINEER skin will be available soon on the PTR. Brigitte taking after Reinhardt is inspiring, but it’s good to see that she also remembers her engineering heritage with this legendary skin. Brigitte should have one more legendary skin at launch, and there’s a lot of potential for some goo

Brigitte Lindholm is Overwatch’s newest support character, with a pretty hefty dose of tank thrown in. Of course, it’s worth noting that the PTR isn’t the most competitive and high-level testing environment, and Brigitte may see nerfs or buffs before she goes live. As always, Blizzard has nailed the animation and voice acting—auto-attacking as Brigitte feels really good, which is necessary for a character who is going to be on the front lines. Add in the faster movement and Brigitte can likely u

Last week, we received a Twitter teaser from the official Overwatch account sharing the tale of an Overwatch mission deep in Istanbul, Turkey against a collection of omnic forces. Ana, Reinhardt, Torbjorn, and a Private First Class named Emre Sarioglu survived the battle… but not easily. Two new teasers have expanded the story around Operation: White Dome, and all the clues seem to be pointing at a new hero.

The Seoul Dynasty, who finished fifth in the Overwatch League’s first stage, has made its first roster move of the 2018 Overwatch League season by signing Korean support player Heo “Gambler” Jin-Woo, the team announced on Monday morning. Heo is known for his strong support play particularly on Mercy — a hole in the Dynasty roster that hurt them at the tail end of Stage One. According to the team’s coach, Baek Kwang-jin, this addition fixes exactly the issues that the team had in the first stage.

A new teaser from the official Overwatch Twitter account was released, showing us a Declassified Report from the days of Overwatch. The only new piece of information is the name Emre Sarioglu. A Private First Class who served under Overwatch could be a new Hero, and it’s almost time for 27 to show themselves. We don’t know who he is. We don’t know that this guy is Emre, and we don’t know that Emre is Hero 27… but this is a very interesting hint, especially because a similar Declassified teaser

Teams like the London Spitfire and New York Excelsior occupy most people’s conversations about the Overwatch League, but those likely aren’t the teams that are most excited for the start of the new stage. To find those teams, you have to look a little lower in the standings. For most of these teams, the road to competitiveness in the Overwatch League will begin with some significant roster changes, in hopes of adding some of the key pieces their rosters were missing. While those two teams occupy

The Overwatch League and Twitch just announced a series of programs that should enhance watching the Overwatch League by giving bonus League Tokens, granting access to exclusive behind the scenes content, and even creating a better Twitch chat experience.

The Overwatch League’s first stage has come to an end, and while teams are on a break until Stage Two begins on Feb. 21, Blizzard is hard at work improving the league between stages. In an announcement posted on Wednesday afternoon, Blizzard announced that they would be altering several aspects of the Overwatch League schedule ahead of Stage Two. This is to prevent the almost 12 hour day that ended the league’s first stage. Also changing for the next stage are the start time of each of the Overw

London Spitfire have been flying high since their stage one victory, and now there’s a Goose to their Maverick. London Spitfire have debuted their new Contenders team, British Hurricane. Just like Spitfire, British Hurricane takes on blue colors and a homage to the Royal Air Force. The Hawker Hurricane, the team’s namesake, flew alongside the Supermarine Spitfire in the Battle of Britain. This is a very clear first step, and it’ll be interesting to see how high British Hurricane can fly in Conte

Mark has already published one zine, Faster Than a Bullet, celebrating the ship of Genji and McCree. We spoke with her about building zines, Overwatch, and everyone’s favorite MEKA pilot. HND: When did you decide to start your first zine, Faster Than a Bullet, and what drew you to those characters? Working with artists in the community as well as the costumers purchasing really made all of the hard work worth it, too. If any readers are interested in purchasing the zine once it’s out, feel free
