Watching Blizzard: Want news? We’ve got news (Patreon)

Monday newsday! While we haven’t yet hit the exciting event of the week (i.e. tomorrow’s rollout of the next chuck of World of Warcraft pre-expansion story), there’s plenty to talk about, so let’s get right to it.

Did last week’s Jaina video make you wonder about her father?

• Just for you, Anne has written up the story of Daelin Proudmoore. First, refresh your memory of Jaina’s Warbringers short, then read the post.

London Spitfire take home the first Overwatch League trophy

• I really feel bad for the Philadelphia Fusion, who just didn’t stand a chance against London’s amazing play.

Frustrated by WoW’s new Guilds and Communities? You aren’t alone

• This buggy interface invites harassment and removes features.
• Also this is the first post by new writer Deb Montague! You’ll see a few more new names on the site soon.

War Mode in Darkshore gives us our first taste of BFA PVP

• Bounty hunts and air drops are live in Darkshore, letting us experience the long-lost joy of world PVP. Or, if you don’t consider world PVP a long-lost joy, don’t turn on War Mode and you can skip the experience entirely.

We want these Overwatch League All-Star skins

• We don’t know how to get them yet, but we already want them. These new Tracer and Genji skins will be available around All-Star Weekend at the end of August.

Boomsday is getting closer!

• And our list of Boomsday cards keeps growing. Check out our rundown of all the cards we know so far.
• The expansion it self comes out on on August 7, so you have a week to enjoy its utter weirdness before BFA hits.

That’s all for now, dearest readers, but tomorrow we can expect plenty of story excitement with new quests and a new Warbringers short. Stay tuned… and until then, this is Liz, signing out.
