Bobby Kottick wanted his ESPN moment ...and that vision killed the league to begin with. Also, tbh, 2020 Covid killed it as well and the move to Youtube was universally hated by all viewers

THICC FAN ART

The league was never profitable, limited the growth of the scene and ability for new players to get in, and had a 20 mil buy in. The only reality where the league succeeded is if covid never happened and overwatch 2 came out like 1.5 years earlier imo

sometimes people have very weird backgrounds and one doesn't understand how they end up with the job they do

#

i mean how do you go from being a scientist to being an OWL caster

# vale cobalt there will be a new pro stage

Yes, but no one tells us that it's gonna be any professional. We may slide into a spot of obscurity, where it just isn't sustainable for the highest level players to play full time. If that happens, this may be the beginning of the end. So, I really hope some big sponsor just takes over the entire league and implents all the improvements that we all wanted. That would be best case, by far.

My hope is that we get a complete do-over. I want regional splits, and regular global tournaments, in a way that it's all-year-round and allows for a yearly global final tournament. I want these regions not to be buy-in but play-in, you rise through the contenders pool but also can be relegated into such due to poor performances and being last place. Teams like Vegas this year should be put a Tier down in my opinion, while O2 Blast for example definately does deserve to be OWL for quite a while now. (different regions, just giving examples though)

It's a symmetra bastion meta. And he said that london would be hard to prep for regardless for abusing it. When you have sombra nerfed and a rush comp when your tank is mostly playing orisa to counter the rein. It's going to be hard

@coarse aurora@static pond GUYS. it was dive meta whole season before playoffs. its not his fault cuz the meta shifted AWAY from dive.

#

They wanted people to enjoy last season of owl

coarse aurora
# drifting canopy Was there an announcement somewhere

Some time after midseason madness, it was made public that the OWL would pay any team choosing to disband prior to the 2024 season would be paid a buy-out of 6 million dollars. No team can afford to leave that type of money hanging, even the high earners. That is more money than each single team ever recieved in payouts for success during the league, 4.2m being paid to SFS being the highest number there.

#

That means right now we need to work on the assumption that the league is going to pay 114 million dollars to the 19 remaining OWL teams in order to disband the entire league.

Yes, and Soe becomes President of Calling All Heroes

Theres like 5 teams at most i can see wanting to not take the 6 mil

Tbh from how the casters said their goodbyes, I don’t think there’s any chance owl is staying

flint pagoda
#

Yeah

coarse aurora
# dark hedge Theres like 5 teams at most i can see wanting to not take the 6 mil

I need to reiterate the point. 6 million dollars is nearly 2 million dollars more than the winningest team in OWL history earned during the ENTIRE OWL time. No team, even the highest earning/richest earned team, can leave that money on the table for anything other than just love to the game. And unfortunately, I just do not see that happening with any team.

buoyant escarp
#

You don’t know what they’re thinking

fading wing
coarse aurora
# buoyant escarp You don’t know what they’re thinking

That's completely correct. But the logical step for all these teams, who would at least more than double, but mostly more than triple their all-time league income with this one single bail-out.. is unfortunately quite obvious. The offer has officially been made by league officials and I don't hope but still believe that most, if not all teams will take it.

finite viper

#

I think we're going to see alot of teams be added to the new owl. Some will probably keep their original team names though based off states

coarse aurora
# finite viper i'd be down with that sort of thing

Imagine the distinct chance to qualify yourself for a spot in these teams by pure skill, pure gameplay. But also if you fall off, you won't be carried though for multiple splits. Whenever a global tournament happens, after that, promotion/relegation should apply. I genuinely believe that'd be pretty damn amazing for the league to become a great competitive environment.

Anyone know if you're supposed to get OWL 2 home and away skins, or just the original OWL home and away skins for tracer?
