The Overwatch World Cup Viewer Is Now Available
By Zac Cameron ·
If you're looking to catch the Overwatch World Cup in a different way, Blizzard has what you're looking for.
The Overwatch World Cup is about to kick off the main event, with the top teams from around the world battling through the playoffs to claim the top spot and bragging rights for another year. Fans can catch all the action the usual way, through the official Twitch channel, but for fans looking for something a bit different, Blizzard has released the Overwatch World Cup Viewer.
“Experience the Overwatch World Cup from any perspective in real time with the Overwatch World Cup Viewer. We’ve taken professional esports observer tools from the big stage and put them in your hands at home so you can curate your viewing experience,” reveals Blizzard on the official announcement page. “Watch live games alongside hundreds of thousands of other players around the world from all of the first or third-person, birds’, or worms’-eye views that are most important to you. Curious how South Korea’s Widowmaker landed the seemingly out of nowhere headshot on Australia’s Mercy? You can simply watch from her perspective as she lines up a pixel-perfect shot to secure the elimination before seamlessly snapping your camera back to the main teamfight on the payload.”
Fans who are interested in checking out the customizable viewer can download it now from the Battle.net App. Simply navigate to the Overwatch section, then on the region selector, choose the Overwatch World Cup Viewer. Install the viewer to your desired directory and then launch when it’s ready.
