On this week's episode, we take a look at the Boston Uprising, the Toronto Defiant, the Atlanta Reign, and the San Francisco Shock. We analyze each team's 2021 roster, looking at each position and every new pickup.

  • #13: December Monthly Recap w/ Dhulky!
    We're joined by our good friend and fantasy Overwatch expert Dhulky for our first new episode of the year! We're looking back at the latest wave of offseason moves as most teams move to lock in their rosters. We start off with individual player signings from various teams, talking about what each player brings to their new squad and how teams seem to be shaping up. From there, we move on to bigger announcements as several teams unveiled whole rosters such as the Florida Mayhem and Paris Eternal, while others gave us a large stream of player announcements. We talk about how these new teams may function in the 2021 season, and how they stack up against their respective divisions and the rest of the league.

  • #12: November Monthly Recap (Offseason 2020)



    After a month off, we begin with brief coverage of an announcement from League Vice President Jon Spector regarding some logistics for the 2021 season. We learn about the likely start time of Season 4, the further development of a tournament-based structure, and get a small glimpse at OWL's coming presence at Blizzcon Online in February. We discuss the brief peek behind the curtain, and discuss what other details may be coming with so much time left in the offseason.

    Next, we go through each OWL team's current roster and breakdown every player pickup, release, and trade as of now. We look at potential strengths and weaknesses for each teams, as well as further potential signings for rosters with needs.

    Lastly, we cover a bit of unfortunate news from South Korea as OGN, the home of the Overwatch Apex tournament, announces that they will be ceasing operations by the end of the year. We cover the importance of the network to the growth of Overwatch esports and to the history of the game, and offer our recommendations for absolutely necessary "games to watch".

  • #10: The Great Liquidation (Offseason 2020)
    The offseason is in full swing with several teams already scrapping rosters and many notable free agents hitting the market. In this episode, we look at the contract status of all current Overwatch League players. We move team by team and discuss which players are staying put, which could possibly be extended, and which are hitting free agency. With so many contracts up across OWL, the market is full of both promising talent and established veterans who could be major boons to any team. We also discuss this week's biggest news stories, including coaching and management changes from several teams, a couple of player retirements and more.
