During the 2017 Overwatch World Cup, Team Japan took the world by surprise by defeating Team Spain's stacked team of known pros on the group stage. They ultimately failed to qualify due to their narro
Over a week ago, it was revealed that Symmetra would be moving from a Support hero to a Defense hero. Yesterday, Blizzard developer Geoff Goodman gave us a plethora of tidbits that revealed a massive
With Boston’s 3-1 victory over Shanghai, they’ve taken the #1 spot in the Overwatch League standings. And considering their upcoming schedule, it looks likely that they will tie with NYXL’s current 11-game win streak and possibly surpass it. (Especially considering that Dallas Fuel’s EFFECT will be on break.)
Overwatch League's inaugural season may be far from over yet, with the fourth week of the third stage (out of four) kicking off tonight, but fans can already reflect at all players' performances so fa

In what may have been the worst showing in Overwatch League on Temple of Anubis, Dallas failed to make the first tick on Point A. Much of blame seems to fall on aKm’s Genji.
The Dallas Fuel tank, Son “OGE” Min-seok has come back to the starting lineup, now through with the 4 game suspension he received for account boosting. However, a good majority of fans saw
