Today we’re launching our Overwatch Wiki.
This new Blizzard game is only in its early beta phase but we’re already seeing notable team organizations picking up rosters and tournaments for the game pop up.
So we want to back this game up from the start.
We have filled out most of the rudimentary information but there’s still lots to be done. For example we still need to fill out the heroes abilities with more detailed information, and their passives.
We hope you will help us out to make the Overwatch competitive scene stronger by dedicating a tiny bit of time to fix any mistakes you might encounter, to update pages with new information, to enter in results of tournaments, and more.
If you’re just starting out and have questions or want some help you can find lots of helpful people over in our IRC channel on quakenet. FO-nTTaX also made a great guide to get started with wiki editing.

That's why I feel that this Liquipedia announcement is a ruse to try and get beta keys.

It's so pink! Looking forward to it. Also looking forward to my beta key.
Y'know.

Not quite. Beta access is something we might get for a few of the contributors since it does make it easier to update the wiki when you can test things out yourself. It's happened before with some of the Blizzard betas. But we don't do wikis to get into betas...
The first tournament in Overwatch is starting today, this is the reason for our launch.

I was just poking fun! I'm excited for it, and it's great to do this from the get-go so we it's not daunting when you want to do a wiki for a game, and there's 5 years of history and thousands of tournament to sift through.

How would you contribute if you were in the beta? (and why is it not possible to gain this information in other ways, like watching streams or reading patch notes or whatever)

its easier to play and test out than watch streams but fine, I'll make do with what I have.

Now to wait for my key.... T_T
Totally going to contribute to this if I can, even without a key. I've been watching a ton of streams and keeping up with the news outlets ^_^

Tsk tsk tsk.
That's cool to see a new wiki join the family, though I still have doubts OW will really takeoff as an esports, but oh well, this is contribution-based, so if there's people actually getting into it, the relevance of the wiki will follow the contribution I'd think.

If you give me a beta key, I will be able to confirm that the beta doesn't work on Mac yet
Apart from that, why pink? Wouldn't it be black and gold?
