When streamers like Ninja are pulling in the likes of Drake and breaking viewing records on Twitch, the impact of Chat is more significant than ever as the first touch point many non-gamers will have interacting with our community. We shouldn’t need to wait for a pro player to have their career significantly destroyed to realise that Twitch Chat is a largely under-addressed aspect of gaming culture that has very few positive contributions.

Finally, the Overwatch League is underway with the first exhibition match which has left us begging for a year. The opening match was between Florida Mayhem and San Francisco Shock after the Philadelphia Fusion unfortunately could not make the event due to “player logistics” issues.

January 10th marks the beginning of the Overwatch League, and we finally have a full schedule to look forward to!

BlizzCon will mark the beginning of the Overwatch League, and teams can begin signing players on August 1st.
