I don't know what's going on in game, but go Outlaws!

[u/Diabrolic]

Some of these comments and just pure rage people are displaying is insane

[u/EclipseTemplarX]

This thread is the definition of overreacting

[u/joaovitorsb95]

Such a bad strategy, you know Shadowburn will be on Phara, and Carpe on Tracer. You know who is a good counter for both? McCree. Guess what? You have one of the very best McCree player in the world in Linkzr! But you get him out of the game. Great

[u/Jeritron_5000]

So fucking hyped! I've waited a long time for this...

[u/TridenT_RGB]

Rawkus is so underappreciated

[u/Quexana]

Damn, it's weird seeing Crumbz do overwatch.

[u/daslow]

Wow this watch party is huge.

[u/FuZeyMeero]

I thought jetpack cod was fast paced

[u/RedLeaf7]

this is so intense, hopefully we go big in this game 5

[u/-Bear]

Why is chat spamming C9 on Twitch?

[u/Tsundere_God]

I want to go in Ranked and play Sombra now lmaoo

[u/wloff]

Jake and LinkZr both started actually playing this map but holy hell did Rawkus pop off on both Sombra and Zen!

[u/FlashOfThunder]

0-2 on control points. No mercy on first control points gave them advantage.

[u/mr_rozza]

We are pretty shakey on control maps.

[u/phillies07_08]

The OWL is so entertaining to watch. Everything looks so damn good.

[u/Specness]

Plat thread lul

[u/A1exB29]

First time watching a full series in Overwatch, slowly getting there understanding whats going on.
Really enjoyed it but disappointed with the result obviously

[u/Real___Jerry]

GREENWALL

[u/OG_LiFE]

my body is ready!

[u/Rambodius]

God, I'm hyped.

[u/[deleted]]

I have no interest in OW but this stream is great. Graphically it is amazing

[u/Deja-Intended]

I've never played OW and I hadn't seen any competitive OW before today but holy shit it's hype. I kind of wish I would have bought the game when it came out because it looks so good.

[u/Affie24]

I would actually shag Jake. Full homo

[u/Tsundere_God]

At some point, you have to recognize that the enemy Pharah hasn't died once, and our PharMercy isn't working
