Abstract
- Surprise Opponents’ first Spring Competition tournament launches day after today, including a suspiciously acquainted 3v3 soccer LTM.
- It is Lucioball. C’mon.
Surprise Opponents simply unveiled its first Spring Competition tournament with a brand-new trailer, and—wait a minute, is that Lucioball?
The most important addition to the season is a brand new 3v3 soccer limited-time mode (or football for the Yanks) performed with Iron Fist, Black Widow, and Superstar-Lord. Positive, Overwatch did not invent soccer, however a) the sector seems to be near-identical, and b) it is a 3v3 LTM in a recreation recognized for apeing Overwatch.
It is Lucioball, c’mon.
Alternatively, the LTM in Surprise Opponents is named Conflict of Dancing Lions, lending to the Lunar New Yr theme (ie Spring Competition or Chinese language New Yr).
However the lion does not seem within the Lunar Zodiac in anyway (the nearest is a tiger). 2025 is in fact the Yr of the Wooden Snake, which is why Overwatch’s Lunar New Yr tournament is themed round snakes, with hide-and-seek battles that let you become into props, double bounce, and scale partitions.
It is much more likely that Opponents is basing its Lunar New Yr at the iconic Lion Dances which are carried out all through the once a year ceremonies, which in equity is a stark distinction from Overwatch’s manner. However it will’ve been an excellent alternative for some Serpent Society and Loki-themed skins, I am simply pronouncing.
What Else Is Incorporated In Surprise Opponents Spring Competition?
Given the lion theme, there are a couple of skins to check: Superstar-Lord: Lion’s Mane, which will also be earned at no cost, and two paid retailer cosmetics, Iron Fist: Lion’s Gaze and Black Widow: Lion’s Heartbeat.
We do not know a lot else in regards to the tournament presently (rather than the scant main points on the official patch notes blog), but it surely begins day after today at 9am UTC, so we may not have to attend lengthy to dig into it for ourselves.
