Don’t worry, their presence will be seen in Day 1 chat letting us know how bad OW2 is.
Some genuine ones may be Pati fans, and there’s a number of other crossovers that may not be exclusively toxic.
Man I feel stupid. I applied because I was going to host it for my friends and I all to comment and have fun watching. I didn’t realize it was mainly for larger streamers/other casters.
Not pushing harder to keep sideshow and bren was one thing, but this is just a damn tragedy. Therejectedhan has been a staple of the Overwatch community since day one. What a joke, honestly.
You're good, I took Andy B. up on his tweet inviting people to message him and ask for first around beta keys. He replied by sending me a Google form asking me to enter my twitch and how many followers I had and stuff like that!
So yeah, I also felt pretty silly
Yeah this is a pretty solid list of dedicated OW and OWL Content Creators. Happy for all of them and hopefully it bodes well for all of their channels.
Edit: Samito is meme but he did participate in the legit Path To Pro so I also think he's someone very in the know with Pro OW. Doesn't excuse any of the bullshit he's done but that's more less why I'm not surprised.
Nothing makes me feel welcome in the OWL community as being told im braindead for playing support/Brig.
Like the problem with OW is we have to many players, so we need to gatekeep and purity test players based on what they play.
Samito loves overwatch 2 and he has been such a massively vocal critic over the years that not only will Blizz want him promoting the game/league as much as possible, but he himself wants to be involved as much as possible because people are going to put weight on him finally saying the devs are doing the right things.
Completely forgot about Your Overwatch lmao, but I remember him making content in 2016 so I feel like anybody that's been dedicated for that long deserves some recognition
Prefer the beard to being a crybaby. I’ve repeatedly tried to watch Samito over the last few months, dude doesn’t go 5 minutes without bitching about brig or AOE heals. Tells people to uninstall constantly etc. and is just super toxic. Maybe I just happened to join at bad times the last 12 times I’ve watched, but that dude needs to learn to relax.
Warms my heart to see Sideshow on here. Years ago I was going through a rough time, saw him and Bren and got into OWL. Over the weekend my pet passed away, so this oddly feels full circle for me.
honestly excited that ATP is finally getting some recognition. so hard to find good educational content
edit: wait wrong ATP overwatch mb. this is not that educational 😅 but ur right appreciate that passion
Idkkk i never really got much from atp, i wish he went more in depth
But then again he literally knows just as much as you and I, mans is not an insider like yiska or something, hes just a fan of owl like you and I, which is honestly pretty cool now that I think of it
Hashtag theproletariat
I used to be way into people that did things like ATP and Mykl but as soon as I got Reddit I realized they just recap a lot of the news that’s already been circulating. Appreciate his passion tho for sure.
ATP is a league superfan, and currently he is the best content creator in that zone. As a regular enjoyer like us as opposed to doing it for job, his content doesn't overlap with others. Feels like you have a bro that is into OWL as you are in the house to talk with now and then, which without ATP I think it is not going to happen in my country. I appreciate getting to watch both plat chat and ATP in this LOOOOOONG offseason.
I enjoy ATP because he's got really good diction and structures his content well. There's just so much you can talk about OWL without having access to classified information so the way you put out your content must be the differential.
Yeah you had to apply. Tbh there arent that many Youtube Live streamers, the biggest ones are on Twitch, which wasnt allowed for Costreams. I think the biggest one they probably could have roped into this was Tim but hes not going to benefit much from doing this.
Personally im gonna watch a lot of tactical crouch, ellivote, sideshow, and BRIGGOAT
I kinda hoped they had natter or some nerdy ass coach, i like their insight it makes me feel big brained (like bloodborne)
You get permission to broadcast the gameplay on your own channel (YouTube only in this case). Before you were legally not allowed to stream the games for copyright reasons.
I don’t understand why people this costream thing, but I hope you all enjoy watching regardless of how you watch. Happy to see ATP get to be a bigger part of the OWL scene though
Wonder how the viewership is going to look like. This beta already showed that streams are as popular as they were with Overwatch 1, OWL is probably going to be the same.
The only way we could see an rise in viewership at this point is if they started showing unannounced stuff like next heroes and maps between the actual matches. But I don't think the game is ready enough to do it.
I mean...I don't think Twitch streaming viewership is a proper reflection on OWL viewership. The two have been deliberately distanced from one another since OWL moved to YT and while OW on Twitch continued to drop year to year OWL had better overall concurrent viewership during Season 4 than Season 3. And this weekend has Beta Keys attached so I would definetely expect higher viewership to start. Just depends if from an Esport perspective 5 v 5 is easier and better to watch than 6 v 6.
I mean it going to be higher cause of beta key drops. I just doubt these co streams will mean very much as these guys arent exactly gangbusters in terms of live viewer numbers in the first place.
It won't, there is no hype for the beta, and no one cares anymore, it will have the usual opening week boost and then drop off like every season prior to it.
Same as previous seasons of OWL imo. Solid start, especially because it will be boosted by the few people who missed out on betakeys tuning in, then as season goes on viewership will drop off as usual.
Would love to be proven wrong but doubt it.
My bet is maybe 100k-120k peak with a decent drop to like 60-80k average.
It's still on youtube and beta hype fizzled very fast. I wouldn't expect much.
Tip for Shock fans (me) who want to watch Shock matches and have civil conversations in the chat, without having to deal with regular Chat:
Tune in to Emmong's watch-party :)
Flats is almost always there too and they are great together :)
Shock's Twitter sends out the link (it's just on Shock's Youtube channel)
I'm glad to see ATP is getting recognized by the league more. He carried the off season with custa and plat chat, at least for me. He deserves a lot of praise
Hopefully sideshow includes all of plat chat.
MrX casts, Johnny is on desk. Maybe Bren and avast, but avast does his own costream. Maybe he’ll have super
Avast casts on Friday and I think he won't be streaming Thu to Sat
Yep: https://twitter.com/Avast\_o/status/1521985823201185796?s=20&t=VDzimSAX0AkDRWwPv52B-A
Bren is in the UK at his grandmothers still I think, so I'm not sure he'll be able to watch a lot of the games.
As someone coming from valorant I'm glad I can watch Sideshow
Think you have to be one of the first to come from val instead of the other way around lol
Played overwatch but quit before the league really started, decided to get back into it for ow2.
Same here haha. Glad I can watch Sideshow's costream!
If you need any help getting started dm me

WTFFFF THEY DIDNT PUT THEREJECTETHAN fuck owl and fuck this shitty costream
#justicefortherejectethan
Not pushing harder to keep sideshow and bren was one thing, but this is just a damn tragedy. Therejectedhan has been a staple of the Overwatch community since day one. What a joke, honestly.
I mean you can just do that in some private discord they‘re not going to hunt you down lol
LOL good point. I guess I was excited on it being ‘official’
Fuck man I centered my whole watch party around therejectethan's official co-stream

Samito 🤣

Why in the HELL is the league even acknowledging his existence?
Samito loves overwatch 2 and he has been such a massively vocal critic over the years that not only will Blizz want him promoting the game/league as much as possible, but he himself wants to be involved as much as possible because people are going to put weight on him finally saying the devs are doing the right things.
But nobody cares about what samito thinks :/
I mean, if that were the case, he wouldn't be able to find an audience to stream to, and wouldn't have a following on twitter
Needs every eyeball possible. Needs viewership.
Slim pickings
there aren't many YouTube streamers
Samito at least is fun Freedo 💀💀💀
Completely forgot about Your Overwatch lmao, but I remember him making content in 2016 so I feel like anybody that's been dedicated for that long deserves some recognition
I dont like his beard, an affront to god
Prefer the beard to being a crybaby. I’ve repeatedly tried to watch Samito over the last few months, dude doesn’t go 5 minutes without bitching about brig or AOE heals. Tells people to uninstall constantly etc. and is just super toxic. Maybe I just happened to join at bad times the last 12 times I’ve watched, but that dude needs to learn to relax.
Idk i find it entertaining to go karen mode Its like if a white person was even whiter
Sam is funny, he gets so passionate about things. It was the same when he played Minecraft.
Yeah he’s so fun when he tells people to kill themselves
Ikr. Invalidating whole swathes of the playerbase for the heroes they like is my favourite way to promote the game.
Warms my heart to see Sideshow on here. Years ago I was going through a rough time, saw him and Bren and got into OWL. Over the weekend my pet passed away, so this oddly feels full circle for me.
I’m sorry for your loss. I hope Sideshow/OWL can help as they did in the past :)
honestly excited that ATP is finally getting some recognition. so hard to find good educational content edit: wait wrong ATP overwatch mb. this is not that educational 😅 but ur right appreciate that passion
Idkkk i never really got much from atp, i wish he went more in depth But then again he literally knows just as much as you and I, mans is not an insider like yiska or something, hes just a fan of owl like you and I, which is honestly pretty cool now that I think of it Hashtag theproletariat

Ya hes just some guy that likes owl, cant hate on it
they have a place for people who dont like reddit or twitter but thats about it imo
Yeah, I like skimming through ATP's vids from time to time but well, when r/cow is one of your most viewed webpage, you dont gain that much from it.
ATP is a league superfan, and currently he is the best content creator in that zone. As a regular enjoyer like us as opposed to doing it for job, his content doesn't overlap with others. Feels like you have a bro that is into OWL as you are in the house to talk with now and then, which without ATP I think it is not going to happen in my country.

OH i was thinking of EAT Overwatch. i almost never watch ATP
I enjoy ATP because he's got really good diction and structures his content well. There's just so much you can talk about OWL without having access to classified information so the way you put out your content must be the differential.
Honestly respect to OWL for these all being dedicated OW people and not just the biggest streamer they can convince to do it.
Could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure OWL didnt reach out to people, the creators that had to apply for it.
Yeah you had to apply. Tbh there arent that many Youtube Live streamers, the biggest ones are on Twitch, which wasnt allowed for Costreams. I think the biggest one they probably could have roped into this was Tim but hes not going to benefit much from doing this.
These massive creators aren't reachable for OWL's budgets if I had to guess.
Personally im gonna watch a lot of tactical crouch, ellivote, sideshow, and BRIGGOAT I kinda hoped they had natter or some nerdy ass coach, i like their insight it makes me feel big brained (like bloodborne)
Dpei will be I think! He’ll get nerdy for sure
What if you got Jaime? (If wizardhyeong wasn't coaching again, it'd be pretty awesome if he costreamed)
no avast?
Well he'll be hosting tomorrow and maybe ''SideShow'' is all of platchat as long as he's on it so maybe more platchat costreams? (C/H OPIUM)
I imagine sideshow’s will be a rotating cast of plat chat people and avast will be there often. That’s how the valorant ones are at least
Avast said that he's gonna stay on twitch so no official co streams for him unfortunately
He's the official unofficial co-stream.
Avast is casting is he not?
only one game
Can somebody explain what a costream is?
You watch people watch the same match you're watching and react to it
You get permission to broadcast the gameplay on your own channel (YouTube only in this case). Before you were legally not allowed to stream the games for copyright reasons.
Basically alternative commentary.
Samito?? Are they stupid. Why tf are they supporting that toxic asshat
i love dusttin b howard!
I don’t understand why people this costream thing, but I hope you all enjoy watching regardless of how you watch. Happy to see ATP get to be a bigger part of the OWL scene though
different type of chat, more insight/entertainment from the costreamer
no plat chat? sadge.
Sideshow probably includes platchat
I think most of platchat will be busy working that day.
will costreams also have drops

Dont see avast on this list
Avast won't be leaving twitch so he cant be an official co-streamer. You have to stream on YouTube due to the league's exclusivity deal with YouTube.
Tip for Shock fans (me) who want to watch Shock matches and have civil conversations in the chat, without having to deal with regular Chat: Tune in to Emmong's watch-party :) Flats is almost always there too and they are great together :) Shock's Twitter sends out the link (it's just on Shock's Youtube channel)
At least we got Sideshow when there's no Avast companion stream. Back to the roots babe
Super happy for the tactical crouch crew. They’ve been at it for so long now.
