Finally, some good Overwatch news again! With the start of the Overwatch Contenders Season 2, there are exciting Overwatch esports matches to watch again.

If you follow these steps, you will get the Genji skin unlocked immediately. The other two skins are obtained by watching content regularly throughout the Contenders season. The Symmetra skin will be released after 7 hours and the Mercy skin - after 15 hours watched.
