Overwatch League’s San Francisco Shock posted a black and white selfie of teammate Andrej “BabyBay” Francisty. The aftermath? It turned into a viral campaign for mental health awareness with even Shaq partaking of the #BabyBayChallenge.
I'll just leave this here for all of Baby's Baes… The @KING_BABYBAY instagram is LIVE! ⚡️

BabyBay originally posted the black and white selfie on his Instagram, with the San Francisco Shock Twitter account sharing said photo. Cory Vincent, former Nerd Reactor content creator and NRG Esports vice president of content, poked fun of the image by posting his very own dreamy version.

San Francisco Shock turned the #BabyBayChallenge into something nobler by donating to National Alliance on Mental Illness – San Francisco, a youth-focused mental health charity. For each person who takes a side-by-side photo emulating BabyBay’s pose while tagging @SFShock, the team will donate to the charity.
It’s begun… Take a side by side picture that matches this photo, post and challenge at least one friend to do the same. For every #babybaychallenge post that tags @SFShock, we'll donate to Shock’s social initiative: youth focused Mental Health orgs in the SF/Bay area ⚡️ pic.twitter.com/jAfFd8dId3
