man so owl’s officially over :( we all saw it coming but i still think it’s so sad man we built such a fun community on here during the first couple years :( there’s a lot to say about the state of this game and esport and blizzard as a WHOLE. but. owl gave me lots of beloved mutuals and i ended up with a whole bunch amazing friends (some who i met!! irl!!! two of them came to my WEDDING!!!!!) and im glad it happened :) i hope we all stick around for whatever else is gonna happen to overwatch and if we don’t we all need to make a pact to hyperfixate on the same random thing next :) or else :) love you guys :)

this article is a good read and has a lot of good points abt vancouver’s mishandling of the runaway team/storylines

oge in sinatraa’s stream last night donating 20+ subs. babybay was donating too. ksf, hydration, blasé, rawkus, surefour, silkthread, zacharee, corey, sleepy, nero, and striker all resubbed to him as well.

these men are siding with a rapist who openly didn’t comply with the investigation over a girl who has provided COUNTLESS amounts of evidence and they can quite literally all burn for it. this industry has proven time and time again that not only does it literally does not care for victims of abuse but, if pushed, that these gamers will choose their friends a million times over despite knowing what they did. they know. and they just don’t care.

the may melee just reminded me how much i would sacrifice for tracer-genji to be meta again

im sorry this is the only time i will mald about takes today but i have just seen, in succession, 

mag will probably fail since we have seen “hyped” rookies, specifically whoru and roar, show nothing when they enter the league

florida is a bottom 10 team and has significantly downgraded from last year

mayhem should have signed unique instead of slime

shaz/biggoose was one of the most solid backlines in 2020 so oge has no excuse for not doing well

pain. like what do you even say to this.

GOD but who would have thought the thing that would get the owl blogs outta their caves again would be a good old fashioned meme revival spurred on by the loss of the final last dregs of the apex family teams being ripped apart before our eyes :( it kinda feels like we’re all shipmates watching as we go down with the boat. but like. instead of a boat. it’s a gamers noah’s ark of memes filled with ryujekong and jakerat

the pure contrast between birdring’s soul piercing stare followed by miro’s anxious side glance is, i feel, an overlooked moment in apex history

[offtankfucker69]

it has come to my attention that some people actually haven’t seen apex karaoke before, and the actual videos are too long and include players that people aren’t familiar with, so i put together just the segments that OWL players did (and labelled w/ their new teams). They will never escape these
