Blizzard has been hard at work trying to boost viewership for Overwatch Contenders. For those who don’t know, it’s a tournament for second-tier teams and players who dream of joining the Overwatch League.

Players have been able to earn special skins each month simply by tuning in and watching the show. Last month, Genji, Mercy, and Symmetra skins were up for grabs. This month, however, it’s Lucio and Torbjorn.
