Salute, end of Overwatch League
SUCH A GOOD LAMP
This YouTube exclusivity shit is part of what killed the league
nice i watched at least 4
During that pulse bomb
☹️
Outlaws threw, invested too many ults for one fight
trueeeeeee
namecard anyone?
outlaws kept over investing ults imo
It wasn't just that, there was a lot of issues inside the league, especially with the team management, buy ins.
also viol2t has more silverware to fill his liquipedia page
Mayhem made 7mil
a small part. it goes all the way back to the beginning
Pelican 
bro has not won in 2 years
- 1 mill
Teams couldn't make money
Yeah 
Im smoking that Houston pack rnnnnn 😭
Blades doing nothing every game.
owl is gone
OWL was just started very very bad
It was doomed to fail
do the players take the prize money?
happy’s overclock on sursvasa as well
Pelican especially
😭
Isn't the problem for every e sports
I DIDNT KNOW THE PRIZES WERE THAT HIGH
o7 = salute
The prizes are actually really low
well
It could have been so cool if he waited a few seconds
awh i did enjoy watching owl these last few days
why didn't anyone tell me it a million dollars
sad that it’s over
nothing compared to how much money every team has lost
you gonna compete?
But the way owl are running the esports, it just been very costly more usual than other esports.
it’s been a pleasure to make fun of pelican with all of you
In a way, but Blizzard required a 25 million buy in, which most of these teams couldn't actually pay because they couldn't make that money from merch etc.
ok guys
Blizzard had to waive a lot of teams this year their fees
im new to this im just surprised
lets place your bets
I wonder how Jake and Soe feel rn since both were here from the start
For the whole team, including non-players
who is winning next year!?
blizzard were so baddddd with it
as if anyone will be able to
me
they lied to investors with crazy numbers and stuff
reinforce too
Vagas enteral
ppl like custa too
Shangai Dragons
Washington naturally
and other players who have been there from the start
Prob toronto
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
me
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
but yes, every esport but maybe one just doesnt pull enough money to justify it directly. the hope is it boosts sales of the game itself or ingame shop
shock
espn is CRAZY
NOOO
is gonna win
😍😍
their 3rd event
THE END
AWWWW
OH THE END 🥲
It wont end
adorable end
Wait what about the new map?
did you miss the creator game
Played before 3rd place game
it was peak
awh
Like i belive it wont. Cause Mircosoft would take a huge hit.
Fuck Soe is tearing up rn
we choked in playoffs same as in midseason. we destroy everyteam and lose cringe with 4-1 and 4-0 score im so mad but im proud of outlaws. we were 2nd place in both midseason madness and playoffs. NO REGRETS.
That happened after the semi finals
this is making me sad tbh
Soe is trying not to cry
What a time
☹️
ggs.
NOOOOO
Jake is actually crying
it’s so fucking over
awwww bless
legday losing it too
07
man
They’re all crying
Jake is crying aww
if only sideshow and bren was here
I’m ngl I got teary eyed as soon as I saw the casters start to cry
:(
that would make it
Even soe
Everyone's prob going to move to val
I think I can speak for all of us when I say FUCK YOU BOBBY KOTICK
My king 🥲
Ohhhh god here come the waterworks
so is it actually over
this is actually sad god
Either val league or mcdonalds
Goldenboy already does Valorant
yeah itrs done
So sad
ffs

i remember watching nyxl back in the day nooooo
I mean if my career of the last 6 years was almost guranteed to be ending I'd cry too
FAST 11 CONFIRMED.... FAMILY

This is it
Players
No way. That game is so different from ow. It’s the legit opposite.
This is how it ends
This kinda sad ngl
Jake has fully gone
YEAH I think Soe is confirming OWL is done as we speak
soe making this so emotional
They all know it’s over
i didnt know they'd actually acknowledge it is fully ending i thought they'd pretend nothing was wrong
bless 💔
No shot orgs stay
🥲
o7
She broke
o7
I dont think Valorant is even doing that well
That was so hard to watch holy shit
hard to believe that owl is ending
?
Oh god im crying wtf
I imagine teams have already decided
val is doing amazing what
Cheap ass smoke machine btw
same
How many season of Owl was it
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
lol
Fuckkkk
o7
the esports scene isnt doing great for either games
o7
Why am I CRYINGGG
Nobody gives a shit
rip owl
Finale
Soe thats why
goodbye owl
nah
Well
That pine 4k was so good
BOBBY FKED THE LEAGUE
Outlaws got 4-0??
“As we close this chapter” says Soe
It isn't, most teams are hemorrhaging money to compete just like most esports
Yes
6v6 moments
we'll never be able to see hadi wiff again......whats the point......
Goodbye all of OWL
They are just far better at making it look like it is. still has a problem with money
What even happened lol
Yes the fraudlaws were carried by bastion
DAFRAN MENTIONED
Val just has a bigger audience so people ignore this
Soe just went and broke my heart, she didn’t have to cook that hard
6
It has to be over..
only na is having money issues
NOT THE CHOIR
😢
Soe gave a final speech thanking everybody for OWL
fuck man
and it's only like 3 teams
BIG BOSS PINE LETS FUCKING GOOOO
back then
4-0???
This is so sad
goodbye owl
Ye, 4-0 Mayhem
this is so sad LMAO
the clips from 2018 finals are making me cry - we went to that
like this montage wtf
Soe and Jake both cried

i dont blame them
Surefour was also crazy
they put everything into this pretty much
It's been.... a fun ride
Fuck Bobby Kotick for ruining what we had
so many of these people did
this
i’m actually kinda emotional 💀
I feel sad Bren isn't getting mentioned
like it’s sad
He's also a good caster
so emotional
just not there
I'm really gonna miss owl
I’m actually sad
yeah
What a league
as well as sideshow
What we had wasn't going to exist much longer anyway even if Bobby was a normal ceo, this league literally is not sustainable in any reality
goodbye owl...
Streamers talk so much shit about owl but I legit had fun watching it
JAKE
Thank you everyone...
I need rob to hook me up with some more news and controversy
It was If the sponsorship deals pulled through
this is sad but kinda hard to get emotional when you think ab how this is bobby koticks pet project
man
This music is too emotional
The sponsorships barely kept it afloat let alone profit
im gonna miss the owl
Nooo not the OW2 trailer music from a game we were going to get but never did
😦 😦 😦
Yeah it’s 100% over
is there no chance of it coming back at this point?
oh no they shown Carl
At least ending on a high note right?
this is sad
they wouldnt end it with this much drama if not
In some format but not "League"
Im sad man..... end of an era.
first year of owl last year of owl for me
That would do it
PINES DAB
2018 - 2023
this is so sad i died
Same
AAHHHHHH NO ALARM
Enjoyed it while I watched it
brp
alarm ;c
AND INTERNET HULK
Totaly not sobbing in bed right now
alarm
Oh wait does anybody know what song this is
no
They Gotta stop doing leagues bc they give them shitty pays lol bad job environment
Guys… I’m fucking sobbing.
It was prob made for this
Ow song
It's based on OW theme
HEROES NEVER DIE
Their soundtrack no?

Ye it was in the first gameplay trailer
NOT THE SILENCE
this was fun while it lasted
And that’s it
The silence hits deep
me too
damm
alarm sent me over
It's the OW2 Zero Hour music
Maybe the overwatch league was the friends we made along the way 
As am I
The silence hits so deep
overwatch league is really over this time
it does
For real
My god
Hello? Sinatraa was a millionaire at 19?
are they not gonna have atlantic and pacific shit
Wait so like
i hope they leave the stream on longer so i can get more points 🤞
it was fun while it lasted huh
Well I mean
Now what
IN THE AAAARMS OOOOF AN ANGELLLL
Good while it lasted
nvm
Outlaws never won anything?
I wasn't even here for most of it and I was still on the verge of tears
I needed them to leave it for a few more minutes
Why was there such a big montage isn't there a season next year
and so the stream ends 😭 😭 😭
They came close tho?
Soe did a good speech
WAIT WHAT THAGS IT?
I say OW2 esports will go back to the community roots, regional tournaments etc
at the end
well
back go playing overwatch i guess?
Well
☹️
It’s over
highly doubt it
Back to playing OW
WHERES THE NEW MAP??
I hate overwatch
well thats it
It is so fucking over
DID I MISS IT?
yes
Next season
They showed it earlier, it’s Samoa
W pfp

that's a wrap
they did it after the boston florida game
youtube chat being normal is a weird thing to see too
o7
OWL as we know it is likely gone.
IT WAS BEFORE THE 3rd PLACE GAME
Yeah you missed it lmao
go back to the creator clash
Oh so I missed it
held it in until alarm
Creators game
It was during the halftime
they did a show match between the games
FUCK I WAS OUT FOR THAT

gg
There is no season 7?
ty
Stream ended…
Not for owl
time to go back and rewatch
So is league over now?
i only started watching this season why do i hagve tears 🙁
A tribute video for the Philadelphia Fusion flex support player Kyeong-bo "Alarm" Kim.
This video is not monetized at all, if any are done it's due to the song and nothing on my part.
Thank you Regan for the Thumbnail
Song: Dayglow - Can I Call You Tonight?
TAY ZONDAY JUST TYPED IN CHAT WHAT THE FUCK LMAO
Yes
This all but confirmed there won't be
We needed a longer silence
One piece but for losers
goodbye owl
It feels like the Hawaii tourneys monthly were so recent its crazy its been 2 years 😭
When 2024 finals
Goodbye OWL

Did it ever come out what happened to him?
Never
Rest in peace, owl o7
@hardy sluice 4:13:57 is when they talk abt it ❤️
I wanna see the new map and I didn’t get to because I had to go do something. Shove it.
I’m 35 tokens away from reaper skin what do I do
Why
Thank you
oh yeah
what does owl o7 mean
world cup is a thing
Pay up
its supposed to look like a little guy saluting
Goodbye Overwatch League.
o7 means salute
o7
I thought you meant rewatch ALL of overwatch league
o7
o7 is a soldier salute
o7 = 🫡
I am convinced tay Zonday is paid to comment on brands, I've seen him in so many random comment sections
Why would I do that
Goodbye OWL😭
I bought the 2600 tokens and it never gave them to me
should i do that
just to see
Owl is over my dude
what it was like
Contact support
Why not?
It’ll never happen again
or is it not worth it
I probably will at some point
this is so horrible
Or at least watch an old season
Guys im crying
I did for two months
Why is it the last owl ever ?
🦧
alarm ❤️
I just have the ended stream open on my iPad
the new map is so peak and the creator match was fun
Do I close it?
Watching overwatch leauge with you guys really made every match and every round alot more enjoyable. If I never see yall around if the leauge pops up again. It's been real.
If you like watching eSports yeah
Last GG
cheers
GG
GG
i do so
GG
Fun times
i loved geguri so much
Ok I’m back to playing quickplay
ggs!
Op Zarya player
The players were payed jack shit
what about the teams that aren't leaving? The defiant said they weren't leaving right?
Does this mean the channel will close once WC ends
Time to get shit on by Orisa
i didn't see that yet
well, mods will have to rename it from OWL & Contenders to APEX Season 5 or whatever will happen
Well a league needs at least a few teams
😭😭 soe’s send off
invite me ill shit on them back......
the defiant would be stupid not to leave, theyve probably changed their mind.
Idk if it’ll matter, Soe’s speech and Jake crying lowkey confirmed it’s done
i would think it would be better to just have it as general esports channel
12 teams need to stay
Why is that the last owl?
im on my alt rn its not the one in my bio
done in current form, it is easily possible that they just outsourced the whole thing and they don't know if the team as-is will ever come back together
Appreciate lol but not rn
I’m rewatching the whole ending to the stream lol
fair
i just remembered atl reign fumbled lol
Where’s my rewards?
Man second time witnessing an end to an esports
Lmao
Paladins was the first for me lol
its ok guys we got contenders and im here to shittalk about everyplayer and team we will still have our fun
It’ll probably come back but in a style more similar to what CSGO has, OWL and the big production of it as we know it is done
i got regular
Will appear on oct 8th or after?
❤️
Many reasons
FFS
Is there a possibility where blizzard makes a new one?
But I got the LW skin already and that was only for today
It might be a smaller size but I thought the plan was for the league to continue in some shape or form?
some items are next season, so Oct 10
♥️
Where are the other rewards
With a new system
The rewards are in game already, I checked. But you won't get any notification you got them. You will have to check the hero gallery for the skins etc
they need less teams
Blizzard themselves making it no
Gonna miss these so much
The same problems are gonna happen again if blizzard makes it
I’m specifically looking for the name card
It'll probably be more region based
It’s up to this guy once the deal closes later this month
Damn
yeha they said theyre determined to support ow esport past 2024 but then again they lied about pve so ya
If they bring back owl it might be bigger than the one have now with more teams
When you get the creds from right predictions??
So who can actually make it
XD
guys how long is this offseason?
i gotta buy a mayhem skin now i only have hangzhou
Idk theyll prob sell the rights to third parties
Hold on I need the gif
like
they were so fire
eternal
Just blizzard
When does shock play
The only skin i have is ow1 outlaws zen
wtf lmao
Ahhh ok
Whats probably the best way for the owl skins at this point
Should I save the token in hopes of lucio coming on or should I just grab the reaper while i can
lmao
Never
Blizz unlikely, but they might give the rights to 3rd party
Permanent LOL
i'm hopeful that the deal closes and things are better but who knows
They announced a brand new format will be announced and teams can vote whether to go on or not. But based on the way they ended this season, it seems that the teams decided not to keep going and they are shutting the league down
Next day
That ending montage though
Regular season starting
got me in the feels
I'm buying one mayhem skin. Any suggestions?
i mean they were basically paying teams to leave anyway
i suspect they will announce expiration of tokens (or whatever will they do with it), so i would buy what you really want, and wait out for final fire sale with rest of tokens
Soe was pretty emotional too, as were a lot of the casters
Yeah everyone there was crying
But we are still going to have the owl idc honestly about blizzard supporting it
“As we close a chapter”
it sucks that it ended like this
youtube chat
It’s actually all over.
gotcha
It could have ended worse
All the comms together, Jake crying, Soe barely holding it till the end, and then that
depressing
The send off was very nice
i mean i
Most likely because they need to restart it and can't do so if they are still in
The next chapter is called Microsoft
yay
MFS! The Toronto defiant grand finals name card is still locked for me
Still can't process that it's over
gg overwatch
When are we getting creds from predictions
la glads all purple>
They should have given everyone that watched like 2k coins
Say ong
The clip of Alarm was what broke me bro
1368 on my main
if mayhem get a skin who would it be
I started SOBBING when I saw it
later guys was nice chatting today (:
uh
Might be sig
Same
wait
I didn't know who he was but now that I looked it up is all the more sadder
gotta be sojourn bruh
that's what we said last yr 😦
The tears just started POURING when I saw him that was so fucked
https://www.dexerto.com/overwatch/overwatch-league-reportedly-in-talks-with-third-party-tos-for-2024-season-2281924/ is what i remember as last news
watch it have no logos of mayhem, the championship skin
The im37 danny you could've told me you spoke English clip is iconic
but like cmon it all makes sense now. toronto, merit, they won
that blew up
Real. They really just wanted me to have to explain to my room mates why I’m crying watching a video game 😂
lol
My boyfriend just started to hold me
He doesn’t get it
But he knows that I have a love for this game and it saddens me to watch this all unfold
Love the way Houston sent it off though
awww
I really wish someone had gotten mvp, yes dps players pop off but someone deserved the recognition
houston ended the league in the most houston way possible so fitting
He got the most recognition possible
My boyfriend watched the grand finals with me
minus mvp lmao
my husband did the same. i ran and played on a bunch of teams and ran for gm for world cup
Mvp, role star, grand finals champion of the last owl season
so this hurts a bit
He got mvp
Outlaws picking up bernar was the most clutch last minute signing in owl history tbh
Not finals mvp but regular mvp
OHHHH I didn't know that a regular mvp award existed
mustve missed that part
then nvm im happy\
Bernar played really well
will this just be the black and gold plain skins?
ooo
valid response
yeah
I have all of season 1 and 2
Spark?
got chengdu's last, so.. might as well finish the set when i can
its jover?
valid as hell glads best team
It’s jover
Never been more joever than it is rn
Owl is gone, Saudi e leagues is the most popular ow tourney left now 💀
technically this was the closest a glads player has been to a owl championship (shu)
sad
so its sort of a win
Saudi e leagues pay out like 5x what contenders pays too
bruh saudi e league
i fucking cried at the end
seo speech
then the clips at the end
and then ending it off at the end of with alarm
i fucking cried
curses on you blizzard
With this the premise of a competitive shooter for overwatch might lose some momentum
ME ASF RN
apex ow pklease come back
with their songs 😄
+1
"i get it" 😄
So... that's it, huh.
whos that
At least competitive overwatch but that probably means completely
Spark dps
So did Twilight immediately after the last Match.
Watching my team go from
"The meme team with animal names on it"
To
"Were actually a competitive team in finals" feels good. I'm happy even though we lost to a symmetra bastion meta.
i hope shy stays for world cup at least
i wanna see him one last time
absolutely pound
and hopefully finally win something
Mer1t damn near deadlifted the finals. He deserves this one. Someone deserves the regular season MVP for his crazy flexibility and consistency.
eileen is still the only chinese player i think to have any title to their name
Leave has mvp title at least 🙏😤
TRUE
Can't believe this was the last dance. I refuse to. But damn, Soe's speech sounded insanely like that was it.
Yeah. This sucks.
It most likely was which is very sad
soes speech was heart wrenching
what does the thing chorong does mean
Feelings just pouring out of me right now… I can’t believe what a wonderful thing we’ve been a part of these past 6 years. I love this game. Overwatch forever.
268
Welp
the thing with his fingers
o7
I'm probably going to lose my regular and veteran role for being inactive after this
She was so strong through it, doing her job well till the end
there will be
It's been real
stop panicing
no
it'll change with MS at the helm for sure
i want more chadi
contenders still exists
when you don't expect this from casters... LemonKiwi:
Has a Masters of Science in Molecular Biology with 2 publications
owl players will most likely get signed to new teams
yeah she's bamf
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
Super man
they wont let 100k viewership league end. new pro stage will begin. ppl should stop panicing.
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.
i dont doubt a new pro stage will emerge. Def not anytime soon
but it will be a different thing, that is the point. It is not going to be same casting/desk team etc. that is what the goodbye was for mostly
losing those casters would be beyond sad though
bobby fked the league. if ur gonna create a league, the owner should be the investor not blizzard. everything blizzard touches fkn rottens
We lost the league and the teams
I want a salty rematch event of teams playing other teams to settle beef
bobby fked the league
see the link i posted before, it might be a smaller league (ie probably not the same pay as currently)
? did everyone die
^
i suspect APEX will reemerge in Asia
The team is gone
Sure the players still play but it’s not the same
Did they already disband the team?
Yeah, thing is, how much decrease in pay can you take so that the league can be sustainable?
A team wont disband only if they have a billion dollar corporation behind them
yeah nothing will be the same as owl
6mil to leave the league is too much
but a new pro stage will still happen
They need huge sponsors
hey guys theres world cup dont be sad
fucking hell itis going off
Microsoft buyout is done oct 18
my phone is going insane
no smurf alert
We will give you 6 million dollars to stop putting your money in a blast furnace, anyone who says no to that is insane
Of blizzard not owl
:))
Exactly
Sad though
yes, and they might change things, but that's again me being incredibly hopeful
damn s4 shock drama was legit nero and striker hating eachother
i already know the likely case i'm just.. yeah
Oh yeah owl is over so past tea can be aired let's goo

defiant or team USA will be there
spark will be there
pelicans gonna cry no :((
Not surprising tho, I always imagined Striker as having the fattest ego in the world
What does it mean
Translate not working for me
you did good honey
i'm gonna cry
he says i feel like im gonna cry
Wait does this mean Striker retired the first time because he couldn't get along with nero 💀 and why Taiyo played opening day
Oh
How do you know?
super on stream
obviously it wont be the same but im hoping they can do something similar to owl
Anybody else feel like going back and watching the nostalgiawatch videos again
If we get the original desk back with everyone. I think we could be okay tbh
As a special thanks to the all the teams and players, several artists and video editors partnered up to create this parody video in celebration of the first ever season of the Overwatch League.
See you in season two!

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)
ggs @FLMayhem
I was really want win but they are just better than us
and I joined late, but thank you to all the team members who worked hard. It was an honor to be with all 🥹
thank you fans
282
did fearless get subbed in during the gf
Last map
Yes
Still lost
They sent it off with the Winston sombra tracer
Damn so he knows it’s done too
This is fucking tragic man
I stopped watching OWL along with everybody else but I remember loving S1 and the beginning of S2, I’ve played Overwatch since November 2016, now the entire game is going to hell
I hope they manage to make some changes in the right direction to at least attract more new players than old players leaving
ow had the potential to be the biggest e-sports stage. much bigger than league of legends. bad management like bobby fked the league. it has been fun. ggs.
That is extremely subjective
what is
Them only caring about bringing in new players and milking money from casual players is a lot of what hurt the game, among many other things
Overwatch is a story of mismanagement and greed
After such an incredible Playoffs and Grand Finals, I want to express my deep gratitude for everyone who made this season and event happen. It's truly inspiring to think about all the people who give so much of themselves to ultimately culminate in this esport we call home. THANK…
NO ONE CAN REPLY
OMG
WHAT A person bro
XDDD
no one can reply
Well we need new players cause the game doesn’t have a very big playerbase
Absolute rat bastard
You would too
I mean let's be real, leaving replies on was literally just going to be an endless cesspool. I can see why he would turn them off lmao
I'm surprised some of the other regulars aren't here rn. Paris fan chan and Sans.
Say what you want about gator tho, he never turned off his replies 😤
He just took it all
I think gator did fine
wah
Me too, I think he's over hated for saying vanilla statements every other coach has said some variation of. But despite the thousands of hate replies to their loss he left replies open 🙏
Gator ain't no bitchh
Look at the post immediately before. People go at him even there as well.
Yeah it is very common when celebs turn off a comment on a recent post for everyone to congregate on the next most recent post with comments on lmao
What are ppl hating gator about???
Not preparing enough, being too cocky, existing, etc.
its not his fault for having a dive otp tank
Nothing is dumber than when apex fans harassed the voice actor of Horizon because they wanted an heirloom for horizon. That shit forever will be one of the dumbest if not the dumbest thing fans have done.
It is tho
Donghak proven he can hero fast but gator ran a doom comp
This post specifically got so much shit, and was called pathetic and baby rage when like imo it's vanilla af
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
Boston legit did the homework for gator
I mean it kind of is, he's the one building the roster and in Interviews he said that he firmly believed solo tanking was necessary on the budget they were at. That was mid spring sesson, though.
They even ran a queen comp with bastion genji
I mean he built the roster so lowkey it kind of is 💀
Which I think would have been better then the doom comp
True
I think lowkey, gator being too good friends with hawk to drop him hurt Atlanta In the long term
There’s no more any team
@coarse aurora@static pond GUYS. it was dive meta whole season before playoffs. its not his fault cuz the meta shifted AWAY from dive.
dont blame him
please.
playoffs are always 50/50
its ALL about meta
ggs.
I mean, there were Teams signing a new tank, look at Houston.. So that's not that much of an argument tbh
Or his nonexistent team anymore
That is fair nobody blamed moon when Shanghai lost in s3 but at the same time atlanta didn't prepare for that match up like at all 😭
dunno man its what i think
im not in the team
i cannot give you that answer
Because they just played their last game ever
Also did we get a single owl finals that wasn't a random meta change like a week before the playoffs that completely fucked the second best team
why is it ending
Y’all shush until the vote actually happens
Like we got no role lock s2, hog s3,
No no it’s not ending…it already did.
why
not making money
Because blizzard isn’t the smartest and they fuked over everyone basically
The vote happened during summer stage already. They just never published the results.
In a few days time, they're gonna hit us with a bombshell.
Man the next month every single day is just going to be top players retiring for military left and right 😭
Sad
They wanted people to enjoy last season of owl
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
That really is sad
Theres like 5 teams at most i can see wanting to not take the 6 mil
Sadly not enough
Tbh from how the casters said their goodbyes, I don’t think there’s any chance owl is staying
Yeah
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.
You don’t know what they’re thinking
holy fuck
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.
i'd be down with that sort of thing
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
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?
The only global tournament now will be the World Cup and nothing rose
I personally believe that the World Cup is really cool, but it is very topheavy in my opinion. The only true surprise going through was Norway I think, I believe the skillgaps just were too big.
@unique root I'm probably going to lose my regular or vet role for inactivity. I'll bug you about when world cup starts.
so i did a lot of amateur competition stuff as a manager, and i know my teams would have killed for that shot
that would be amazing
That's legit what I think.
you wont lose vet but if you lose reg through inactivity youll have to earn it back
i just realized
Soe’s speech broke my heart
The one that out rn…
