Overwatch League Arena Plays Host to a Wedding Proposal
By Nicholas Barth ·
Video games are a great way of bringing people together, which was the case for this Overwatch couple.
Video games have brought millions of people together who might have never known each other without them. This was the case for Keith and his fiancee Deandra who met on the Overwatch map Temple of Anubis. Wanting to begin the rest of their lives together with the same game that brought them together, Keith proposed to Deandra during last night's slate of matches at the Overwatch League arena in Los Angeles, California.
The couple made Overwatch League history for being the first couple to get engaged at the arena and were well received with applause from the crowd. While Keith is a Los Angeles Gladiators fan and the team suffered a defeat at the hands of the Seoul Dynasty, you can say Deandra and him walked away winners last night.
This was not the only part of Kieth’s proposal, as he created a video on YouTube that chronicled his and Deandra’s gaming adventures together, which led to the proposal at the arena.
We wish Keith and Deandra a very happy and long life together as husband and wife!
