My 10 year old son and I love watching OWL matches together. Today was career day at school and he wanted to dress like a Professional Overwatch Player!

I bought him a Houston Outlaws (H-Town represent!) shirt and he took a keyboard, mouse, and wore his gaming headset. I told him he would have to explain to everyone who he was dressed as and he said "The cool people will know who I am!".

When I was his age, playing video games was weird and something "losers" did. Now, with the help of things like OWL and Twitch and Mixer and Youtube, he not only feels confident and proud being a gamer, but he sees it as something to aspire to be. Now, realistically, he knows it will be a very long shot, but he has the heart and dreams of a 10 year old.

So, thanks to Blizzard and OWL for making a game we can play together and enjoy watching and be excited for!
