Overwatch League: Playoffs!
Alright, as I am writing this, the first 2021 Playoffs match is happening in about an hour. Tonight, (for me at least, check what time zone you are in, I'm EST in the US), we will have the first four matches of the Winner's Bracket. I believe that the Watchpoint Preshow with Soe, Danny, Custa, and Reinforce will be first, starting in an hour or so, with the matches coming after that. Here is a list of the matches happening live tonight. All of these matches encores will be tomorrow. Remember this is all in Eastern Standard Time.
- Washington Justice vs. Dallas Fuel: 7:00 pm.
- Philadelphia Fusion vs. LA Gladiators: 8:30 pm.
- San Francisco Shock vs. Shanghai Dragons: 10:00 pm.
- Atlanta Reign vs. Chengdu Hunters: 11:30 pm.
You will be able to watch this on the Overwatch League's YT channel. Make sure to connect your Battlenet Blizzard account to your YT account if you want to get drops. Here is a link to another post I made about drops and how to connect your accounts.
Overwatch News: Activision Blizzard Update, What I was Hesitant to Talk about, and More.
Alright, there's a lot going and I want to go over it.
Firstly, Kim 'Alarm' Kyeong-Bo who was a flex-support player for the Philadelphia Fusion passed away on November 7th, 2021 at 20 years old. I was hesitant to address this, but I finally decided to. Here is the message directly from the Philadelphia Fusion.
Secondly, more than 100 Blizzard employees walked out this afternoon. The protest started around 12pm(noon) Pacific Time at the Irvine, California Activision Blizzard facility in protest of CEO Bobby Kotick. It was discovered that Kotick knew about the sexual misconduct claims and did not report the claims to the board of directors. If you are interested in reading more about the walkout, this is my favorite article that I read about it.
Thirdly, and finally, you have 1 week until Cassidy's New Blood Challenge is over; it ends on November 23rd. Here is a link to my previous post on the event if you are interested in the information. If you need a consistent Overwatch twitch streamer to watch to get the drops, I would recommend Emongg. He is an off-tank player who I personally really enjoy watching. He streams almost every day and his D.Va gameplay is awesome.
Anyways, I've been really busy with school, so I haven't had time to go over issue #1 of New Blood. I'll go over it as soon as I can. ~ Nova.
