Overcharge.tv Stream Companion

Watch Twitch streams and check the best of Reddit fast and elegantly.

If you love League of Legends, Dota 2, Hearthstone, CS:GO or any other triple-A multiplayer game, this app will help keep you entertained and fresh with the community.

Overcharge is a new platform for watching live esports from Twitch. The site is up now, and it aims to expand how people consume tournament broadcasts by linking Twitter, Reddit, and more into a single hub. Unlike Twitch proper, which only has its own chat, Overcharge wants to provide that chat as well as a live feed from Twitter and other communities related to the competition onscreen. Esports is a growing market worth $493 million before you count any gambling or daily fantasy revenues. Overcharge is expecting to carve out a piece of that business for itself by crafting a viewing experience specifically for esports fanatics.

Overcharge works by enabling you to pick the game you want to watch. Choosing Overwatch, Blizzard’s popular team shooter that’s beginning a push into esports, will load up the top livestream featuring the Blizzard shooter. In two sidebars, you can then tune to other channels and participate in Twitch chat while browsing through related Reddit threads, Twitter posts, and YouTube videos.
