We are back with our GosuGamers Overwatch Weeklies, now with $1,000 prizepools, and 128 team brackets! And a One Hero Limit!
We had another great weekend of competitive Overwatch, but let's be honest, it could have been better. We have heard all your feedback, have considered the options, and will be going back to a One Hero Limit ruleset for the forseeable future. We know this is not a perfect option either, but until something changes in the game balance or the viewers tell us otherwise, we believe the one-hero limit is the best way to go.
As always, we are happy to have Soylent, Matcherino, G2A, ROCCAT, PF.GG and OWKings on board as sponsors for the month of July. Without their help, we would not be able to provide a $1000 prizepool for every single Weekly.
Some donator messages from last weekend, thanks for your contributions to the scene:
