    F5 season has been pretty crazy so far.





    No news on where Agilities is ending up yet though (unless I missed it).

    Also this happened

    Ah, I had only heard bits and pieces of the leak and never saw/read the whole thing.
    I hope the bit about OGE ends up being true/doesn't fall through. OGE and Space would be a great tank duo.

    This is actually fucking awesome?
    Toronto going for the best Canadian players in the league is a great move, especially in homestand season.

    It seems bizarre that SF would let Super leave. I dunno, maybe he was getting much better offers

    A trap is for fish: when you've got the fish, you can forget the trap. A snare is for rabbits: when you've got the rabbit, you can forget the snare. Words are for meaning: when you've got the meaning, you can forget the words.

    That sounds like maybe she's going to another team, though. Maybe a Contenders team.

    I didn't see anyone mention the supposed Overwatch 2 leak that ESPN got

    It would be an update to Overwatch, Fortnite 2 style, rather than a new purchase

    PvE and narrative focus with expanded options, including talents and in-game items, and a 4 player PvE "experience" that is larger than its other seasonal PvE events, set in Rio de Janeiro

    A new 6v6 competitive mode called Push, which will be set on a map in Toronto.

    Other supposed leaks point to Echo being the new hero they unveil for OW2

    Which, if those are true, mean OW2 would be coming before a a playable black woman.

    I believe the last bit was walked back partially, in that the reporter who broke all that stuff came out later and said Echo's inclusion is probably incorrect.



    Some of the leaked images feature someone who is almost certainly Sojourn. Which is is wayyyyyyyyyyy fucking late, but hopefully finally included.

    Molten variables hiss and roar. On my mind-forge, I hammer them into the greatsword Epistemology. Many are my foes this night.

    We've already seen Sojourn's character portrait so there isn't any doubt.

    I'm watching this OWL caster Open Division Team and thinking we would do ok in Open Division. Puckett is literally putting Mei walls in front of Bren so Bren can't snipe as Widow.

    Edit: MattMrX and CuteCathy are literally emoting in a side room while the other four players spawn camp the attacking team on Volskaya A.

    Edit 2: Casters won Volskaya attack permanently crouchwalking.

    Some of us enjoy the pve and lore events they've done

    I think the PvE gameplay is fun! I think their lore has not been very inspiring, and recent events don't give me a lot of hope that they'll do something interesting with the lore. Well, recent events and Blizzard's general inability to tell an interesting story for the past...decade or so.

    I like Overwatch’s lore but I haven’t dug deep on it in a while. I think it benefits from its lighter tone and comic book theming, which cuts it a lot of slack in my mind

    I am totally cool with lore being entirely world building and backstory with no advancement of plot. That doesn't bother me in the slightest. I also don't really care for PvE all that much. There's a not-insignificant part of the playerbase that wants both of those things though. It makes sense to go that direction. OW started as just a shooter that was supposed to focus on esports but it's become incredibly marketable as a franchise and I think it's a good idea for Blizz to try to expand the game outside of the original aim.

    Along with others (under spoiler to save space), Jake is casting the Overwatch World Cup with LemonKiwi.

    No Puckett so sad

    But for real that's a great lineup. I like Lemonkiwi and Jake a lot. I'm guessing Jake will likely be doing color to Kiwi's play by play?

    E: just realized there's no Semmler/Hex or Monte/Doa. YES THIS IS EXCELLENT

    It's worth noting that Bren and Sideshow will be casting as well as doing stuff at the desk with Goldenboy, Reinforce, and Soe.
