So this is a bit awkward to post, but I feel that I should. To make a long story shot, my wife and I were expecting and now we're not. It was our third early-term miscarriage in a year of trying and this time was looking promising for a while. It's sad, frustrating, and draining.

OWL seems more unlikely than ever to exist in it's current form after this season. When I moved from Korea to the US to make this league my life in 2017, I really believed we had a chance to do something great in the esports space.

"We don't feel you bring the gravity necessary for serious matches." they told me on a Skype call before they offered me All Stars in 2015. I turned them down and they came back a few weeks later with a Worlds offer. Would have been fun to do a couple more, but c'est la vie.

It's most of the reason I took off last week. Wanted to spend time focusing on us and processing things. The reason I'm posting this is because I've found our situation is a lot more common than I thought it was. If you're out there hurting for the same reason, you're not alone!

I lived and breathed Overwatch from the beta until a month ago. I don't know what the point of all these veiled insults towards the talent that left is. It's a bit hurtful after moving across the Earth and putting three years of my life into this project.
"People who live and breath this game" = "people who specialized in our game that we can lowball thanks to our monopolistic hold on the scene and/or their dependence on us for visas"

I originally called Pine "The Big Boss" because he reminded me of a mafia boss character in an old NES game in the way he always seemed super deadly and supremely confident. We'll all miss you on stage, but I'm sure you'll still be calling the shots in the back! GGs! 화이팅!
