Overwatch 2 ‘Play Like Luka’ Event Rewards
Surprisingly, Blizzard has introduced a new “Overwatch 2” event, the largest in terms of rewards to date. This event, named “Play Like Luka”, inspired by NBA’s Los Angeles Lakers point guard, Luka Doncic, is currently active and will run for three weeks until September 15th. To participate, gamers must complete various challenges within the game, some of which are exclusive to stadiums. By accomplishing these tasks, players can receive a plethora of free in-game items such as the “Sharpshooter 77” Player Title, a golden Money Ball Weapon Charm, and an impressive 77 free Loot Boxes, a number that corresponds to Doncic’s jersey number.

Aside from being renowned as one of Europe‘s best basketball players ever, Doncic is a dedicated gamer with an impressive track record. He has attained the Grandmaster tier and even ranks among the top 500 tank players in Overwatch 2. Apart from Overwatch 2, Doncic also enjoys games such as FIFA and Call of Duty.
At this gathering, enthusiasts with a desire to mimic Luka’s playing style have an opportunity. They can achieve this by using Luka’s personally designed stadium layouts for Zarya, Cassidy, and Lucio – three characters that Luka, the Slovenian NBA star, is particularly skilled with. It is worth mentioning that one of the event tasks does call for the use of these builds, but it only grants Battle Pass XP as a reward. This means fans can theoretically earn all cosmetic items without utilizing the Luka Stadium configurations.
In the upcoming Overwatch 2 Season 18, Winston, Pharah, and Brigitte will join the action in Stadium. Expect Tracer to make an appearance in the mid-season update, approximately a month from now. The Payload Race game mode, crossplay-enabled unranked Quick Play, and a fresh Hero Draft mode in Competitive are just some of the thrilling features that await players during Season 18 in Stadium. There’s lots to get excited about!
