GitGud is back for Season 6!

For many, Overwatch tends to be a toxic grind up the competitive ladder; but here at GitGud, we aim to provide a safe and positive community for everyone to play Overwatch the way the game was meant to be played. Make new friends, enjoy the competitive edge, and learn effective strategies for taking the point.

Did you know GitGud has its 2 year anniversary? Our first ever season ran from August through September 2018. If that’s not something to celebrate? So prepare for one of our best seasons yet!!

Console

In Season 5 we first introduced console divisions. While mostly successful, there were not enough division splits. We heard you and will run all divisions from Gold to GM this time around. Filling divisions still depends on the amount of signups, so make sure you sign up to make each division happen!

New PC division

We will add a new division called “Unlimited”, which is for teams that did not quite fit our normal SR restrictions in Expert (peak SR of 4300 on any role max.). We know a lot of content creators and streamers have been interested in participating and we want to welcome them to our tournament as well.

More streams - more fun

You want more chances to be streamed? Want to watch even more GitGud games? We will now stream 3 games per region, every Friday and Sunday! Starting at 6.30pm CEST/ET, you can watch GitGud until 11pm CEST/ET. We do want to engage more with our viewers as well, to make our streams even more entertaining, so make sure to tune in for a lot of surprises!

Best logo contest

Participating teams have always been known to come up with amazing and fun logos for their team, and we want to reward this. Every team that has a logo will now enter in our logo contest, where every week a different division will have their logos being voted as best logo, ending in a final showdown through all divisions. So turn up with your best logos!

Merchandise

You heard that right, during GitGud you will have the chance to get limited edition merch with our new GitGud branding. Grab them now before they are gone forever. And who knows, they might grow in value over time :P

Team management portal

Our website now comes not only with team signups, but a whole management portal in the backend. Here managers can add information about their team and its players and make changes to their team, which are then sent for approval to the GitGud staff. No more change forms! No more stream team sheets! Just everything on one page!

Team managers will create the team profile and provide their players with a team code to join. Each player has to sign up individually and use the team code provided by their manager. Managers or players can then fill out all the required player information (screenshots, peak SR, roles, etc).

PLAY: Your team will play one (Console) to two (PC) matches every weekend, so grind up those skills and get prepared. Don’t have a team? We can put you on one with our Solo Player Signups!

WATCH: We will select a few of those matches to be streamed every Friday, Saturday and Sunday on our Twitch channel. Stay tuned on our Twitter to get more details.
