That’s a lot of D.Va. Blizzard recently gave Overwatch’s D.Va an in-game stream overlay
for her sitting emote, which GraphicFeedback recreated for their friend, streamer Hanaday. The result? D.Va streaming D.Va, who is, in turn, also streaming. Perhaps we’re all being streamed by larger, realer versions of ourselves. A chilling thought.

The Weekend In Esports: Hearthstone Summer Championships
It feels like only yesterday I was sitting down to embark on Hearthstone’s latest adventure, One Night in Karazhan. Just over a month later and the scene is completely lit.
