Not to take away from player moves, but I have an announcement of my own: I won't be returning to OWL in 2021 as a contractor. I'll be returning as the new full-time Stats Producer at @Blizzard_Ent . Time for a whole new year of Overwatch. and beyond? 🤔.

do you know how much you have to love Overwatch to still be playing, much less trying to go pro at this point?. Blizzard should be holding onto these kids for dear life. I want to hope that this contenders strike actually becomes some kind of turning point. it’s just insanity.
