There’s more to watching the Overwatch League grand finals than just experiencing the series unfolding—fans that watch matches can earn in-game sprays and extra league tokens.
Blizzard’s created four new sprays specifically for Overwatch League fans that watch the finals. The sprays, which feature Overwatch heroes enjoying Overwatch League matches, are unlocked by watching 1.5 to three hours of Overwatch League each day of the finals.
- Watch 1.5 total hours on Friday, July 27 to unlock the Match’s On! spray, which features Hanzo, Zarya, Sombra, and McCree
- Watch three total hours on Friday, July 27 to unlock the Watchparty: Gibraltar spray, which includes Emily, Tracer, Winston, and Mei
- Watch 1.5 total hours on Saturday, July 28 to unlock #1 Fan, which is a D.Va spray
- Watch three total hours on Saturday, July 28 to unlock the Living Room spray, which has Reinhardt, Brigitte, Torbjörn, and Bastion enjoying the Overwatch League
Fans don’t need to watch all the matches to earn sprays, but each spray can only be unlocked on the designated day.
Overwatch League viewers on Twitch and through the Overwatch League client will earn double the Overwatch League tokens. Fans will earn two league tokens every time a map concludes during the Overwatch League live broadcast. Random 100-token drops are still enabled, but won’t be doubled.
None of this matters if your Twitch account isn’t tied to your Blizzard Battle.net tag, or if you’re not logged in with your account while watching through the Overwatch League app. If you want to unlock the Overwatch League drops, you need to make sure you’re logged in and linked up.
The Overwatch League semifinals kick off July 18 at 7pm CT and continue until two teams remain. The Overwatch League grand finals event will be held July 27 and 28 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
