Hey, sometimes your mental breaks. Sometimes it's been six months looking at the same walls and you have to take sleeping pills and work at 1am. Sometimes your mental breaks and that's okay. Appreciate everyone.

So after speaking to the wonderfully supportive OWL Talent management team, we've decided I'm gonna take tonight off and likely sleep for sixteen hours. I'll be back next week for the NA games!.

Overwatch literally changed my life and my career. Now, I'd like to believe I had SOME part in that, but the point remains that I will forever look at Overwatch, see the logo, here the theme, and know that my life is literally forever altered because of it. That's my OW memory.

The release of the Valorant footage has shown just how many 'aspiring casters' want to be casters for the wrong reasons. If you don't love the game it won't be worth it. Do it because you love it, not because you want to be e-famous.

Power Rankings, a few notes:. 1) I don't believe in scrimbux AT ALL. I've been around Overwatch too long to not know 'scrims' mean nothing. 2) I think pre-season power rankings are stupid, but fun. These mean nothing, LET THEM FIGHT!. 3) Chengdu is love, Chengdu is life.
