Overwatch League Recap

This week we bring you a special addition episode to kick off the 2021 Overwatch League season.

The title speaks for itself. I'm gonna miss the scene!

Life has thrown us a curve ball. Therefore we have to cancel the show for at least the rest of season 3. Hopefully we can return strong in season 4 but no promises.

This week comes a little late so less talk about games and more about the future. Join @Blazzin_bob, @YiskaOut and @LoBosco as they break down what the rest of the season could bring and possible changes to next season of the Overwatch League.

OWL Recap is one of the first Overwatch League podcasts and one of the few to have a female host's perspective. We often have guests such as casters, coaches, journalists and more. The show is hosted by Mel (MelOverwatch) and Bobby (BlazzinBob).
