You may not have heard it here first, but we're covering  it anyway! The launch of Blizzard's new Heroes of the Storm crossover with Overwatch event comes with all sorts of cool crossover features, and sure, we we're all dazzled and amazed and gleeful, but then--Police D.Va! The character skin you didn't know how much you loved, until now. 

That's right this blog post isn't here to talk about anything other than the  new D.Va skin, I mean, come on! Blizzard has basically transformed D.Va's mech into a futuristic  cop-mobile...gundam...cop-gundam...It's basically, D.Va's mech but with flashing red and blue sirens . Awesome!

As if that wasn't enough, Baby D.Va is suited up in an officers uniform ! Surely, she's the youngest on the force. 

This video by BlameTheController cover's all the coolest features, but I'll let you in on something, skip to  1:45.  ;)

​Let's talk about Overwatch -- specifically, Mei. Over the last week Overwatch came out with a patch along with the new Uprising update where they decided to punish Mei mains with an awful bug in the system. Since this update, users will find that, though Mei can still freeze enemies, her main shot no longer slows them during the freeze process. Also, her ult takes longer to totally freeze enemies.

"recipe for disaster."

​Now,  typically articles about this bug have stated that this makes  Mei somewhat ....unusable?

What do we say, here at Money Match Gaming?  Well, I Smurf, can't speak for the whole team, but that's fine. I'll speak for the Mei mains. It's headshot season out there. When I first noticed the bug, my team was in the midst of yelling at me while I held the point on Anubis with gold elims and gold damage from the previous round. We held for another minute before being forced back to the second point where we of course held, because Mei is bae.

That said, blizzard has stated that changes to the last patch are coming that should fix multiple bugs, other than the mei issue. 

There have also been issues with torb that will be addressed, so if you've had a torb and a Mei on your team, lay off bae and blame the Torb. Bae is still two shots to the head for a kill and does damage to pesky characters like Ginji and Lucio. Torb could also fit into this category, but I fear that most Torbs choose him because of their lack of aim, which is a shame because IF you place torrents and move around he's a beast like Marshawn Lynch. That doesn't happen much. 

The issue with Torb since the new patch for Overwatch Uprising  have to do with placing his turret on platforms. Literally the worst scenario for smart Torb players.  The accuracy of the turret is affected on platforms, which includes things like balconies, roofs and,,,the payload, should the team ever find it. 

Changes are coming for the Spring Uprisings bugs the week of April 17, 2017, so fear not  online  warriors!

As the Super Smash Bros. Wii U Community continues to grow, Money Match Gaming would like to grow along with it. Our reasons for this aptitude are simple; we love gaming, we love smash bros, and we want to find ways to give back to the community. It is our belief that holding smash bro.s tournaments online whether paid or free with prizes is something this community just doesn't have enough of ;) .

After speaking with folks in Smash Bros. groups around the country we've decided to do two things to change up how we've been running smash tournaments. One,  we'll be holding weekly FREE tournaments with a Prize of Wii U pts, Steam pts, Cash, or other Goodies!  And two,  we'll be holding paid $5 tournaments  every month or so with a percentage based pot. 

A lot of the backlash we got from these groups seemed to be because we either inflated the pot so that you guy's would hopefully find it more appealing (instead people thought it was a scam, le sigh), and that we should be more clear about percentages and where the money is going. So, please bare with us as we work through these bugs. Our goal it to create a safe space for gamers to do what they love, learn, share, and make money. We're getting closer.
