Watching Blizzard: Is it Friday yet? (Patreon)

Dang, it's been a long week. Isn't it Friday yet? No? Well it has to be Thursday at least, right? No? It's Monday? How can it still be Monday?

In which Liz has just run the longest chain of Mythic+ attempts ever and would already like this week to be over but apparently it isn't.

Okay then, let's just get down to the day's news. Then at least Monday will be over and we can move on to Tuesday.

Trial of Style is back, baby!

• I am exactly stylish enough to get third place. Mitch has some advice on how you can do better.

Yes, we're still all talking about Brigitte (and you probably won't shut us up)

• Anne covers everything there is to know about Brigitte in today's Know Your Lore.
• Even though she's been already nerfed been nerfed on the PTR, we still love her. (And her new engineering-style skin.)

Celebrate StarCraft's 20th anniversary with cool loot

• StarCraft  is almost old enough to drink, and doesn't that make you feel old? It makes me feel old. Oh, right, and you can get some swag — unfortunately no booze to help forget how old you are — to celebrate. (Unless you play WoW, in which case you get a rather uninspiring Feat of Strength.)

Anna recaps last week's Overwatch League matches

• Particularly the sad story of everyone's favorite underdogs — that would be the Shanghai Dragons for anyone not playing along at home — continuing their unbroken losing streak. At this point, it's honestly kind of impressive to see just how much one team can lose. Okay, okay, and there are other teams playing, too. (And if you think I talk far too much about the Dragons now, just wait until they actually win a match!)

Meanwhile, on the alpha...

• Anne has gifted us with another gallery from the Battle for Azeroth alpha. This set of screenshots from Zuldazar features so many dinosaurs. Zuldazar is also potentially home to raptors wielding knives, so I suggest being very careful when you visit.

There's a new Warcraft: Traveler book out

• And I have to say, the cover art is much better than it was for the first volume. And I'm sure the story by Greg Weisman is pretty great, too.
• If you have no idea what I'm talking about, when the series was initially announced, we saw these amazing illustrations from Samwise showing off the world of Traveler. But when the book was released, the art style took a hard turn to cartoonish. But Samwise's art has returned for the new book — and the first book's paperback edition has some Samwise art as well. Sweet.

That's all for this... gosh, is it still Monday? Okay. I'm taking a deep breath here. That's all for Monday. I'll be back here tomorrow to recap another day in the life of Blizzard entertainment... and you, of course, are welcome to join me. This is Liz, signing out.
