The Overwatch League appears to be a big success, netting over 400,000 viewers on its first day of action.

Opening numbers peaked at 410,000 viewers on Twitch during the Dallas Fuel vs Seoul Dynasty game. The figure, revealed on Twitter by Twitch’s Director of Content Marketing, Ben Goldhaber, takes into account both English and non-English streams.

Were you part of that figure, watching along? If so, what did you think of the first day of play?

Overwatch is available now on Windows PC, Xbox One and PS4. Those who wish to support their favourite team can net 200 League Tokens for special League skins, in-game.

Steve Wright

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
