Token fever has broken out in Overwatch. But how do you get the coveted currency and what does it have to do with the Overwatch League?

They are shiny – and your Overwatch account will look just as shiny if you have enough of them: Overwatch Tokens. We explain how you can easily dust them off.

First of all, you can only earn League Tokens for Overwatch League matches by watching the matches on the official Overwatch League website or via the Overwatch League app. Within this, there is a selection of countries that qualify to earn these Overwatch tokens:

• Argentina/New Zealand
• Australia/Norway
• Austria/Poland
• Belgium/Russia
• Brazil/Saudi Arabia
• Canada/South Korea
• Chile/Spain
• Denmark/Sweden
• Finland/Switzerland
• France/Taiwan
• Germany/Thailand
• Mexico/United Kingdom
• the Netherlands/United States

One’s Blizzard account must have one of the following countries to earn Overwatch League Tokens. And then it’s easy: You earn five League Tokens for every hour you spend on the Overwatch League platform watching live matches.

So if you watch 30 minutes in a session and return later for another 30 minutes, you’ll get credit for the total 60 minutes.

This time is accumulated just by watching live matches on the Overwatch League website (desktop and mobile) and on the Overwatch League app for mobile (iOS and Android). League tokens will be available in the Battle.net account after each completed hour and can be used on all Overwatch game platforms (i.e. PC, PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch). Important: To redeem Overwatch League Tokens, you must have a valid Overwatch game license.

In the video above, Blizzard itself explains the token system once again. So log in and watch. It has never been so easy to earn “money”.

Overwatch

Overwatch is a computer game by Blizzard Entertainment (Diablo 3, World of Warcraft) and a first-person shooter with individual fantasy elements. The game was released in May 2016.

In Overwatch, the player must choose between 21 unique characters, which can be freely selected in a loosely held classification system (offensive and defensive class, support unit and tanks).

A character’s three to four different abilities can be controlled and activated through the mouse and keyboard. The game modes already vary from scoring points to cargo hauling. Team play is required in both modes, as each character takes on a specific role in the battlefield (e.g. heal teammates, provide backup, or secure defensive lines).

The name Overwatch derives itself from a fictional elite military unit that came together when robots tried to subjugate humanity in a near future. Individual characters are associated with this unit in the game, while others oppose it. It is not yet known whether the storyline will continue in multiplayer.

Brawl

Brawl is a game mode in which time-limited rule variations of the well-known modes are drawn. Sometimes completely new game modes are used in Brawls.

Rule variations include, for example, the restriction to certain heroes or classes, changes to the cool-down times or certain cards. New game modes that have been playable so far include a soccer game and a PvE mode.

Usually, Brawls are restarted as Brawl of the Week every Tuesday at 22:00 UTC and are then playable for a week. On certain occasions, such as – Season al events, Brawls may also be playable for a longer or shorter period of time.

The game mode is comparable to the card chaos from Hearthstone and was activated for the first time in the beta phase on March 22, 2016 through a patch.
