Overwatch League Announces Community Countdown
By Zac Cameron ·
The new preseason to the Overwatch League will feature custom games and community streams, as Blizzard prepares for the 2019 season.
Just a week out from the start of the Overwatch League’s 2019 season, the league is putting together a “Community Countdown” to help get fans ready for all the action. From team scrims, to 1v1 matches, popular streamers will be hosting a series of games where both individual players and full rosters can show off their skills and build up hype for the main event.
We’ve hand-picked Overwatch Streamers to make this Community Countdown something special. #OWL2019

“The start of the 2019 Overwatch League season is almost here, but even elite players need some time to get into regular-season form. This year, instead of a traditional preseason, we’re adding some competitive spice to help get the players on point,” revealed Blizzard in their announcement post. “We’ve put together a series of rivalry-building scrims and some fun custom matches, and you get to watch every moment of it live. And you won’t be alone: we’ve invited a lucky group of Overwatch streamers to get in on the action. Clean streams of these competitions will be provided to hand-picked Overwatch streamers to use—and provide commentary for—on their individual channels.”
