    Sadly, Junkrat already has a canon name, Jamison Fawkes.

    New and improved Snowball deathmatch is really good. You can store up to 3 snowballs now and you can catch enemy snowballs and use them yourself.

    The PA crew has two new mini games to play while waiting for a match.

    1) While in FFA, hide and seek with Sombra being the one who hides.

    2) while in FFA, kill Baidol or Toasty.

    Orisa is much more dynamic and fun to play now. I never liked playing as shieldbot orisa.

    Got all the new Snowball Offensive achievements in about 20 minutes of play. The mindgames have evolved.

    INTRODUCING: PARTY FLEX FOR ROLE QUEUE
    Unsure of which role you want to play? Now, party members who queue for any game mode with Role Queue enabled can select multiple roles, indicating what they’re willing to play in the next game.

    Upon reviewing the footage, I screwed up the bug attempt by having us walk on the top of the wall instead of on the side last night.

    Also, for the 2020 season, Jake will be a caster and Custa will be an analyst.
    How much are you going to dominate the Talent Takedown if that’s played at All-Stars?

    Jake: Am I allowed to use both hands, or…?

    Custa: The talent doesn't even know what to expect. They'll call me a Mercy one-trick, but little do they know that my Doomfist throwing is still a higher rank than all of them.

    If Custa's Doomfist throwing is higher than Bren's, it will be a sight to see.

    FYI the Breakable Barriers open tourney is running as of now, and so far it's a ton of fun. There's no single official stream but a ton of streamers are participating

    I'm watching Avast's team (with Fran, Custa, Cloneman, Jake, and Jay3). It's good times.

    Edit1: They just finished rolling their first team and now they've decided to jump into quickplay as a 6 stack.

    Edit2: And the response from the enemy team was "wtf" and "why?"

    Harbleu's team is such a trip. Kephrii is just being a controlling douche and you can tell it's grating on everybody but Harb, Silkthread, and Gale are going absolutely bonkers in game.

    I wanna say it usually resets around 10AM PST Tuesday but when I logged in last night it said '1 day left' so now I'm unsure.

    Yeah that’s what confused me too. I couldn’t remember if “1 Day” meant “between 24-47 hours left” or if it was “less than 24”

    Looked it up, officially it's Dec 10-17, so I think it's business as usual and you have until Tuesday morning-ish
