Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.

Doom’s new team is kind of tough 😮‍💨

The walking emotes have found their moment, at least according to viewers of PlayOverwatch's newest team showcase. Alongside requests for outfits seen in the Doctrine trailer, the comments propose more walking animations for the hero roster. Even a squad entrance comes with a cosmetic wish list.

"Doom's new team is kind of tough 😮‍💨" drew roughly 24,000 views in its first eleven hours, making it the most-watched of the official game's four new promotional uploads. It also carries the most daily momentum on the channel. The rest of the week's lineup includes "Your favorite DJ's favorite DJ 🐸🪩," the crossover-themed "Arise and aura farm during OW x Shadow Monarch ⚔️," and "We'll bring the mystery, you bring the madness 💥." That last upload is currently the next-busiest after Doom's showcase.

For more context behind the team, there's the earlier "Watchpoint: Grímsvötn | New Map Flythrough | Overwatch." Its description supplies an unusually grim property history: once an Overwatch Watchpoint, later a Helix-controlled prison, the location now serves as Doomfist's base. The Escort map tour remains among the channel's busiest uploads, giving the squad somewhere suitably forbidding to operate.

Across the channel, the week brought about 1.3 million views, with subscribers unchanged and daily viewing below its usual level. Elsewhere in gaming, LoL Esports is enjoying a substantial viewing lift, while VALORANT added subscribers. PlayOverwatch's own conversation is more wardrobe-specific: viewers keep asking when those Doctrine-trailer skins will become available.
