“This game will easily – and I mean easily – win”: Big streamers, early fans and esports players share their deadlock hype after Valve opens the floodgates

After months of pretending its worst-kept secret didn’t exist, Valve revealed Deadlock to the world late Friday night. The official announcement came with Valve’s approval of public discussion, meaning streamers, fan sites, and social media conversations could finally publicly reference the third-person shooter MOBA’s closed alpha test. Now that it’s no longer a thoughtcrime to say the name, notable Deadlock players are telling us what they think – and many of them believe Valve is planning another hit.

As for streamers, Deadlock already has the support of big-name developers. Michael “Shroud” Grzsesiek, currently the tenth most followed streamer on Twitch according to Socialblade, has been streaming Deadlock daily since its official reveal. “This game is going to easily – and I mean easily – take off,” Shroud said in a Twitch clip. Elsewhere, Shroud raved about Deadlock’s mechanical depth, calling it “probably the best third-person shooter I’ve ever played.”
