From bead to shining bead.

As for the previous weekly challenges, you can unlock Ashe’s Mardi Gras legendary skin by winning games in Quick Play, Competitive Play, and Arcade. The rewards are based on your total wins:
- 3 wins: Mardi Gras Ashe and B.O.B. player icons
- 6 wins: Gold Mask Spray
- 9 wins: Epic Mardi Gras Ashe Skin
You can also win rewards by watching your favorite Overwatch streamers. To be eligible to receive drops, you have to link your Battle.net account to your Twitch account. Once everything is set up, you will receive sprays for every two hours watched, up to a total of six hours.
While Blizzard promotes some streamers, you can win these rewards by watching anyone playing Overwatch on Twitch.
The event is live until March 9, 2020.
