PlayOverwatch just released a FULL Trailer for the Storm Rising new coop mission for the 2019 Archives event and the key take-away is... Tracer Gets a Motorcycle! There's NO way that they tease us with Tracer getting a cool motorbike and fail to deliver, it's gotta be a gameplay mechanic. There also was a handful of skins revealed over the weekend, Formal Soldier 76, Gwishin Bastion and Track Zarya. We got a pretty cool insight into the origin of many of this years Archives skins, High Roller Hammond, Circus Junkrat and Zarya all derive from references to Monte Carlo where Maximilien reportedly lives. Last story of the day, there was some angry fans who were mad at the Houston Outlaws for refusing to play anything but 3-3 GOATS in a few spots vs Vancouver Titans, the best GOATS team in the world by far and it caused a bit of a drama. It's a bit of a no-win situation, because if you don't run 3-3 in some spots, you basically just auto-lose vs it. And if you mirror 3-3 vs the best 3-3 team in the world, you pretty much auto-lose because they're better. Unfortunately, counterpicking in Overwatch often isn't a thing and the end of the video tries to describe by GOATS is nearly impossible to counter on payload, you just take up too much time to do anything else... and the clock is tickin'!

Doa
Gwishin translates to ghost/spirit/demon, general spooky supernatural type in Korean. (I think!) https://t.co/47uUV9Dqj1

Samito camouflage soldier 76
Which soldier skin are you referring to Sammy? Are you sure you attached the correct screenshot? It looks like you may have accidentally included an empty picture of the Volskaya map ^KAL

People really underestimate the @ChengduHunters skill if they think a week of practice would be enough to replicate their success with DPS comps.

Practicing crazy cheeses that are only use-able once to possibly beat the #1 team in the league then leaving yourself vulnerable for the rest of the stage once your strategies are deconstructed is an easy way to have a bad overall season.

You can tell /r/cow is a ridiculous echo chamber that doesn't watch content because they think that @flameIRL coming on OverSight tomorrow is some sort of impending disaster.
If you watch the show, you know that @Thooorin and I don't attack guests and have reasonable discussions
