Cosmetics are a big incentive for viewers to tune in to the Overwatch League, with the first tournament skin finally revealed, the Luchador Reaper.

What separates these skins from others is that they can only be bought with League Tokens, unlike regular cosmetics that drop from Loot Boxes or can be purchased with Gold, while you can get League Tokens with real-life currencies, the best way to accrue them is by watching the Overwatch League.

As previously announced, OWL 2022 will feature a total of four different skins, one per tournament leading to the post-season. With the Kickoff Clash qualifiers still going, the Luchador Reaper skin has made its way into the game.

Known as Gabriel Reyes during his Overwatch days, the California-born character is of Hispanic descent, with Lead Concept Artist David Kang wanting to pay homage to Mexican culture in particular. “I grew up in LA surrounded by Mexican culture and always had a fascination with luchadors. Mexican wrestling was always a theme I wanted to implement in the game and I thought that the Kickoff Clash tournament was the best time and fit for the skin.”

This isn't the only Reaper skin that pays tribute to Mexican culture, with the character donning a Mariachi outfit as one of his first Legendary skins. The new Luchador Reaper won't be available for long, so here's how you can get your hands on it as soon as possible.
