American servers & Overwatch


There is a bunch of viewers and people out there that's wondering "Why the hell are you playing on the American servers?" There are many answers to this question but the most important answer is;
There is no time and energy to switch between them. Most of the people who wants to play with me are on the American server anyway. No matter how I do there is always some person who prefers american or european(or any other region) and every time I switch I have to LOG OUT of Battle.net and add new people on Battle.net to be able to play with them, and some people have a hard time figuring out how to switch servers. It's too time-taking and it's not professional for me as a streamer to take 5 minutes or more just to add new people and switch servers. So here's a little tutorial on how to actually change server to play with me on the American servers!

And the answer is NO; You wont get serious lag from playing on another region of servers. Blizzard really got that covered for us. As long as you live in a populated part of the world with a somewhat good internet - you wont get ping lag. I promise :)

First off, LOG OUT of Battle.net completely.




















Right above your login info is a little fold-down tab. Click it and you'll see the servers you can connect to.
Click 'Americas' and then login with your info. All your skins and levels will still be there when you switch servers. I am not sure about PotG though.


















Once you're in Battle.net again you will have to add new people to your friend list(this is how Blizzard designed their servers) so go ahead and add me or someone else you want to play with.
Before you start the game up with the "PLAY"-button, go ahead and make sure that it's set to Americas in the fold down-menu here too. Click PLAY and start your watch :)
