Overwatch 2fans had to rely on someone live-tweeting the commentary of a World Cup game as Blizzcon took over the livestream.
As you can see from the tweet thread below, by the time South Korea vs Canada’s fourth match took place, Reinforce had to commentate (via Twitter) every major play that happened during the event. Even Reinforce didn’t get to see much of the match, as they revealed in the thread, they “didn’t see what happened cus tweeting from phone.”
The outcome was South Korea won the game 3 - 1, but it would have been much more fun to see this happen for yourself. This must have been frustrating for fans, especially for those who had been following the match up until the livestream was cut off.
Understandably, Overwatch fans who wanted to see the match in full aren’t happy with Blizzard. Many have still praised and thanked Reinforce for keeping the match going for those outside the venue, though. “This is just so sad - thanks tho,” one Twitter userrepliedto Reinforce’s Twitter coverage, “the hero we need but don’t deserve,” anothersaid. “This actually sucks thanks for keeping us posted,” another fanreplied.

After studying Film Studies and Creative Writing at university, I was lucky enough to land a job as an intern at Player Two PR where I helped to release a number of indie titles. I then got even luckier when I became a Trainee News Writer at GamesRadar+ before being promoted to a fully-fledged News Writer after a year and a half of training. My expertise lies in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, cozy indies, and The Last of Us, but especially in the Kingdom Hearts series. I’m also known to write about the odd Korean drama for the Entertainment team every now and then.
