Blizzard’s swanky Overwatch League kicks off on Wednesday, with 12 groups representing cities throughout the globe, and what sport can be full with out flogging costly merch? Blizzard at this time launch “jersey” skins, letting Overwatch characters put on your favorite staff’s clobber for $5 every. Five dollars! If you identical to fairly skins, hey, Blizzard are letting all gamers purchase one outfit without cost so choose your self one thing good. Just bear in mind: no staff colors allowed in pubs on match day.
The Overwatch League’s first season will start at 4pm PST tomorrow (that’s midnight within the UK) with San Francisco Shock taking part in Los Angeles Valiant, adopted by Shanghai Dragons vs. Los Angeles Gladiators then Dallas Fuel vs. Seoul Dynasty.
Yes, the team names are bizarre. But good grief, the UK’s solely staff is the London Spitfires, a reputation virtually as surprising as Tracer’s accent.
Here, take a look (apols. for the Twitter embed, it’s not on YouTube grumble grumble):
The new staff skins are purchased with a brand new microtransaction foreign money, League Tokens. Blizzard are giving everyone 100 Tokens to get started, which is sufficient to purchase one package for one character (sure, they’re per-character) and would normally price $5. You’ve bought till February 13th to seize these free factors. Some cash from pores and skin gross sales will go to groups, a minimum of, as Dota 2 and another digital sports activities have accomplished.
The Overwatch League kits and supply are reside within the US at this time, arriving in today’s patch. I don’t imagine they’re reside in Europe but, as our patches launch a day late, however I don’t personal Overwatch to examine.
League video games will probably be streamed on Twitch.
Oh goodness me I’ve simply found you really can purchase real Overwatch League shirts.
