If so, they’ll bump down two-time defending champions San Francisco Shock and make that team’s push for a three-peat more difficult. What’s more, the Reign and Gladiators have the chance to earn enough bonus league points to earn a bye for the season playoffs. None of them have won a stage or tournament title in the history of the Overwatch League, so it’s a chance for them to finally put a trophy in the cabinet. The Countdown Cup is a golden opportunity for Atlanta Reign, Los Angeles Gladiators, Chengdu Hunters and Seoul Dynasty. The Fuel won the May Melee and the Dragons captured the other two titles. Neither the Dallas Fuel nor the Shanghai Dragons qualified, and they both miss out on tournament weekend for the first time this season. We’re guaranteed to crown a new tournament champion at the Countdown Cup. Also, if you watch both the live broadcasts and the replays, you’ll earn OWL tokens for all of the time you spend watching.

There’s a replay broadcast the day after each broadcast, which might be more palatable for European fans, given that the live matches start at 9PM Eastern time each night.

If you’re unable to watch Countdown Cup matches live, you’ll still have another way to earn rewards. Meanwhile, if you watch at least four hours of the Countdown Cup tournament, you’ll earn home and away Overwatch League skins for Zenyatta, as well as an exclusive spray. Residents of North Korea, Sudan, Crimea, Syria, Japan and China (except for Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macau) aren’t eligible to receive rewards from YouTube or the OWL site, unfortunately.īear in mind that, if you are eligible, you’ll receive the rewards on every platform you play Overwatch on, as long as you connected them all to the same account. There’s one other way to earn tokens for free: through the Overwatch League website or app after you log in with.
