Overwatch 2: 1 Winston vs 100 Soldier: 76
Blizzard just made an announcement about the upcoming showdown. Starting on May 6 at 12 p.m. PT, a bunch of invited content creators will duke it out to settle the score. This Winston vs 100 Soldier: 76 livestream will take place on the official Overwatch 2 Twitch channel alongside the Overwatch Esports ones. The participating content creators will be revealed during the stream itself as well.
The announcement came as a surprise to many players in the Overwatch 2 community. On X, reaction memes quickly flooded timelines, ranging from the "What the hell, sure" one to posts referring to Winston as the beloved "winton." For those unfamiliar, this nickname comes from the "Winton Overwat" meme.
