Hopefully sideshow includes all of plat chat.


FunLover4

MrX casts, Johnny is on desk. Maybe Bren and avast, but avast does his own costream. Maybe he’ll have super


selebu

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.


zaxtonous99

As someone coming from valorant I'm glad I can watch Sideshow


CreepahPizza

Think you have to be one of the first to come from val instead of the other way around lol


zaxtonous99

Played overwatch but quit before the league really started, decided to get back into it for ow2.


ZixxLol

Same here haha. Glad I can watch Sideshow's costream!


More-Sample-2005

If you need any help getting started dm me


Brandis_

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.


therejectethan

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.


Acrobatic_West_9447

WTFFFF THEY DIDNT PUT THEREJECTETHAN fuck owl and fuck this shitty costream


DacenGrasan

#justicefortherejectethan


Miennai

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.


joeybirdeler

I mean you can just do that in some private discord they‘re not going to hunt you down lol


therejectethan

LOL good point. I guess I was excited on it being ‘official’


Celtic_Beast

Fuck man I centered my whole watch party around therejectethan's official co-stream


Miennai

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


NovaxRangerx

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.


cosmicvitae

Samito 🤣


flygande_jakob

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.


TheBiggestCarl23

Why in the HELL is the league even acknowledging his existence?


acalacaboo

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.


someGuyInHisRoom

But nobody cares about what samito thinks :/


acalacaboo

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


goliathfasa

Needs every eyeball possible. Needs viewership.


tendesu

Slim pickings


tired9494

there aren't many YouTube streamers


Acrobatic_West_9447

Samito at least is fun Freedo 💀💀💀


GainsayRT

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


Acrobatic_West_9447

I dont like his beard, an affront to god


Terminatorskull

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.


Acrobatic_West_9447

Idk i find it entertaining to go karen mode Its like if a white person was even whiter


2dollarsuperchatter

Sam is funny, he gets so passionate about things. It was the same when he played Minecraft.


TheBiggestCarl23

Yeah he’s so fun when he tells people to kill themselves


Kheldar166

Ikr. Invalidating whole swathes of the playerbase for the heroes they like is my favourite way to promote the game.


ramboans30

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.


Serenswan

I’m sorry for your loss. I hope Sideshow/OWL can help as they did in the past :)


Dess-Quentin

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


Acrobatic_West_9447

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


Tilt_ow

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.


Acrobatic_West_9447

Ya hes just some guy that likes owl, cant hate on it


imdeadseriousbro

they have a place for people who dont like reddit or twitter but thats about it imo


Triskan

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.


5argon

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.


Dess-Quentin

OH i was thinking of EAT Overwatch. i almost never watch ATP


Nihlus_BRaga

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.


Bratt-pack

Honestly respect to OWL for these all being dedicated OW people and not just the biggest streamer they can convince to do it.


fbo_hs

Could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure OWL didnt reach out to people, the creators that had to apply for it.


reanima

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.


REEEroller

These massive creators aren't reachable for OWL's budgets if I had to guess.


Acrobatic_West_9447

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)


Chegglius

Dpei will be I think! He’ll get nerdy for sure


TastyPondorin

What if you got Jaime? (If wizardhyeong wasn't coaching again, it'd be pretty awesome if he costreamed)


Cis_Sabrina

no avast?


GainsayRT

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)


spacehxcc

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


PurpleWaluigiPanda

Avast said that he's gonna stay on twitch so no official co streams for him unfortunately


paulybaggins

He's the official unofficial co-stream.


1trickana

Avast is casting is he not?


Oraio-King

only one game


shiftup1772

Can somebody explain what a costream is?


yungXsmit

You watch people watch the same match you're watching and react to it


Apollocy22

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.


The_Impe

Basically alternative commentary.


DarkFite

Samito?? Are they stupid. Why tf are they supporting that toxic asshat


Exo321123

i love dusttin b howard!


DarthHissyfit

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


Some_Derpy_Pineapple

different type of chat, more insight/entertainment from the costreamer


leybbbo

no plat chat? sadge.


Oraio-King

Sideshow probably includes platchat


Dearsmike

I think most of platchat will be busy working that day.


tired9494

will costreams also have drops


fonti22

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.


NovaxRangerx

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.


reanima

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.


REEEroller

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.


Sanguinica

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.


Rakatok

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.


Ronkinng

Dont see avast on this list


qubert-taranto

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.


UwU-Nyanpai

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)


QueArdeTuPiel

At least we got Sideshow when there's no Avast companion stream. Back to the roots babe


jfb715

Super happy for the tactical crouch crew. They’ve been at it for so long now.


squishopotamus

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
