With an incredible TwitchCon 2017 having wrapped up, we look back on an experience that enabled us to connect with fellow gamers, streamers, and esports athletes alike. Since day one, it has been a goal for us on the OMEN by HP team to share our love of gaming with the rest of the world and to celebrate this passion as being something that unites EVERYONE.

Bringing The OMEN Challenge to TwitchCon through a 40 streamer duo team PUBG (PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds) fight to the death was just another example of this passion. This was our most ambitious OMEN Challenge yet, and if you weren’t there, we’d love for you to relive the VOD of the event on our Twitch Channel. If you plan on watching and don’t know the outcome (SPOILERS), stop reading because we reveal the winners, but don’t forget to come back to see all the other OMEN goodness.
It was an absolute blast to watch the hilarity and carnage unfold, but in the end it was Tommy of 2AngryGamers and Stodeh who emerged as our winners.
PUBG creator Brendan Greene echoed this enthusiasm in his interview with IGN’s Destin Legarie where he states, “This is a great spectacle. This OMEN Challenge is fantastic. I wasn’t expecting it to be such a great arena, but that’s what I wanted for a battle royale eSport, was this kind of spectacle.” We share your vision Brendan and are ecstatic so many people loved the arena and event we put together. It won’t be the last one!

Speaking of expectations, something many gamers have asked about are ways to get an edge with improving their personal performance. In teaming up with Mobalytics we’re holding true to this mission. Mobalytics uses Riot’s API to calculate your in-game performance in order to provide you with statistically generated advice on ways you can improve your play in League of Legends.
Mobalytics CEO and Co-Founder Bogdan Sychyk said it best when letting the world know that they, “are on a mission to build the ultimate analytics platform for competitive gamers, one which gives dynamic and meaningful insights on individual performance and allows game players everywhere to excel and improve.”
Being a part of the journey that competitive gamers experience is something we care about deeply and our commitment toward helping gamers excel will always be at the forefront of our minds here at HP.
We couldn’t be happier to be part of their Open Beta and invite you to join in.

Lastly, we’d like you to join us for the OMEN Arcade at the Anaheim Convention Center for BlizzCon 2017, Nov. 3-4. In celebrating Overwatch and everyone who plays it, get ready to pair up with two of your friends in a 3v3 tournament - complete with shoutcasters and a stage—as you attempt to win a real life lootbox filled with legit OMEN hardware and Overwatch swag.
When visiting the OMEN Arcade, feel free to test our products, strike a victory pose at the green screen, and ask us any questions that come to mind. Also, keep an eye out for a certain Overwatch cosplayer touring the floor for some on-the-spot photo opportunities—complete with a print you can take home.
While you’re at the show, don’t miss out on the Overwatch World Cup finals. HP is an Official PC Partner of Blizzard Entertainment for this event and our OMEN X desktop will be powering all of the gameplay for the tournament. Just to tantalize you a bit more, look for another major announcement from us next week while we’re at BlizzCon 2017.
