BRAWLS ARE BACK

Lúcioball Remix
In this faster, more chaotic version of Lúcioball, two balls are in play the entire time and bonus balls worth extra points will periodically spawn around the arena.
Get Ready to Get Scared
Halloween Terror brawls available to play in the Arcade on each Wednesday of the event: May 19, May 26, and June 2.

Winter Is Snow Much Fun!
Winter Wonderland brawls available to play in the Arcade on each Friday of the event: May 21, May 28, and June 4.
Snowball Deathmatch
In this eight-person free-for-all brawl, players can store up to three lethal snowballs in Mei’s blaster, giving them multiple chances to ice the competition before having to reload.
Mei's Snowball Offensive
Get ready to freeze your foes in this 6v6 brawl! Everyone plays as Mei, and her Endothermic Blaster has been modified to fire a single, super-powered snowball. Taking down an enemy only requires one hit, but a miss can be costly!
Yeti Hunter
This 6-player brawl sets five Meis against one Yeti who uses Winston’s abilities. The Yeti must survive long enough to eliminate enemy Meis before they take him down. Which side will emerge from the snowstorm victorious?
Freezethaw Elimination
Get ready to freeze your foes in this brand-new 4v4 brawl! Instead of dying, players will be frozen solid in blocks of ice that their teammates can thaw. Freeze everyone on the enemy team to secure a win.
Ring in the Festivities
Lunar New Year brawls available to play in the Arcade on each Saturday of the event: May 22, May 29, and June 5.
Capture the Flag
In Capture the Flag, each team attempts to secure the enemy flag and return it to their base while preventing the opposing team from doing the same.
Capture the Flag Blitz
Launch an all-out offensive against the enemy to snatch their flag as many times as possible. With both teams’ flags much closer together, six captures are now needed to win the match instead of the traditional three. May fortune favor your team!
Bounty Hunter
The player who gets the first kill of the match becomes a Target, and everyone else a Bounty Hunter. Earn extra points by killing the Target, but beware—if you land the killing blow on a Target, you become the next one.
