The folks over at Sneaky Zebra put together an epic show reel of the most insane cosplays on display at Blizzcon 2016.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">We also took a peek at some galleries online, and rounded up some of our favorite picks at the convention. The costume contests are always a fan favorite, and this year cosplayer Steven Scott as &#8220;Grommash&#8221; took first place, in a completely realistic World of Warcraft cosplay. Oshley O&#8217;Neil snagged second as Varian, Cynthia Hall as Elune for third and Alicia Bellemy as Arthas in fourth.<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"m_4718247104604606444gmail-docs-internal-guid-edd33f8d-8999-4c15-f783-a783566b2164\">Overwatch, a mega-popular first-person shooter, was a fan favorite at the convention, with many fans dressing up as the heroic characters. Known as Sombra, a brand new character made her official debut, with fans already sporting elaborate cosplays. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span id=\"m_4718247104604606444gmail-docs-internal-guid-edd33f8d-8999-4c15-f783-a783566b2164\">One fan wore a breathtaking leather outfit, complete with faux leather in black, purple, and silver accents. She opted for totally realistic looking accessories and completed her look with a bright pop of purple lipstick to finish. Other preferred more classic favorites, like World of Warcraft characters and thrilling figures from Diablo. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span id=\"m_4718247104604606444gmail-docs-internal-guid-edd33f8d-8999-4c15-f783-a783566b2164\">We loved seeing all of the incredibly detailed costumes, especially the larger-than-life sets of armor and weaponry that looked straight from the video game universe.
