Dallas Fuel Assistant Coach Jayne Justin ‘Jayne’ Conroy has been hosting Overwatch pickup games throughout the offseason, but on January 10 he reached out to the League to help him host some on Friday, January 11.

Soon after that, and a few cryptic gifs from the League’s Twitter account, Muma announced he would he hosting OWL pro pickup games on Twitch at 7 PM PST on Friday, January 11.

I posted a video this morning with my thoughts on how the most recent PTR patch and armor nerfs will affect the meta going into season 2… but any good hypothesis requires testing.

Hey, @overwatchleague… intersted in helping me out? Let's say… 7pm Pacific this Friday? :eyes:

The players will use the latest PTR patch to play on, to hopefully give fans a taste of what the changes to armor, Brigitte, D.Va and Reaper will look like.

Blizzard previously banned professional players from participating in pugs during Overwatch League Season One, but they seem to have changed their attitude this time around.

With some significant changes coming to Overwatch just before the season begins, this could be a good chance for Blizzard to give players a preview of what’s to come.
