Watching Blizzard: We are obsessed with Vulpera and you just have to deal with it

I’d say I’m sorry, but I’m really not. Vulpera are just so cute that I can’t wait to play one. The only flaw in that plan is that we don’t actually know if Vulpera will ever be play...

Watching Blizzard: I’m afraid to look

I was out of the house during Thursday's Overwatch League matches, and frankly I'm too scared to look at the results. If I never look, I can always imagine that Shanghai pulled off a win. But... I'm t...

Watching Blizzard: Yes, I'm still cheering for the Dragons

It's really no surprise to anyone that the Shanghai Dragons opened up this week in Overwatch League with a loss (especially since they were playing the Seoul Dynasty). On top of their solid losing str...
