Everything you need to know about this weekend’s Overwatch World Cup group stage in Sydney.

This may very well be the moment that pro gaming enters into the mainstream.

The grind up the ranking is as tough as it’s ever been, and in Season 5 that’s mostly put down to the dive meta.

With Doomfist finally out in the wild and doing his testing thing over on the Public Test Realm (PTR) on PC, console gamers are clamouring to get their hands on the highly anticipated hero.

Blizzard recently revealed loot box drop rates for the Korean Overwatch community, and according to a recent report, those rates stand in place across all regions for all players.

This could very well be exactly what Hanzo mains have been waiting for: real world validation and support to shield them from the never-ending backlash and ridicule they receive online.

It’s been a long time coming but we finally have concrete, official confirmation of the city-based teams that will be participating in the highly-anticipated Overwatch League.

With the introduction of Orisa, and a steady stream of changes to other heroes, the embodiment of precision German engineering has fallen down the ranks, and Blizzard is trying to work out why.

He’s been out and causing havoc for less than a week, but Blizzard is already working hard to perfect Doomfist before he hits the live servers.

Call of Duty has long been an eSports staple, but Activision may be looking to control a more territorially-focused league with franchised teams, similar to what the company is hoping to achieve with Overwatch League.
