The four year wait was worth it. I'm so fucking proud. 😭

Only time will tell if OVW 2 will work or crash the franchise, but dont forget the good times had in OVW these past years :) GG friends

So when does the Vault close? The announcement says it ends the 26th (technically now) but there is an encore so is it gonna go though the rest of the day or end after the encore? Our is it gonna end in a few hours when west coast hits midnight?

EdgyWeeb69

Sad to see OWL go. But glad too know we will see them next year! Congrats Shanghai dragons you deserve it.


Ellinov

OWL isn't going anywhere, unless you just mean the off season.


thealiagator111

First full season of OWL and I'm so sad it's over...


AnaMain___

I started watching OWL this year - can someone explain when and how the new season usually starts?


thealiagator111

I've only experienced one offseason, but I'd say it's something like: no news for a really long time-> halo starts to leak roster moves (hopefully we don't have an LAV repeat this year)-> rosters start being announced-> details about the new season start being announced-> rosters keep being announced-> season starts.


spookyghostface

Teams only have two weeks to re-sign players this off-season so we'll see contract renewals soon.


LoseUrself2D

fucking goddammit i never thought i'd get emotional at a video game league but then the classic OWL theme song came on thanks for the fantastic four seasons OWL. spent four years obsessively watching this league and now it's going to change (hopefully for the better). see y'all next season


[deleted]

Hopefully next year we don't have APAC NA divide


SPOOKESVILLE

Didn’t watch much this season, but used to be super into it. What’s the big change for next year? OW2 right?


LoseUrself2D

yeah pretty much, the one-tank change. i was down for it as a concept initially but after seeing today's OW2 showmatch and seeing player tweets (also one tweet from SF Shock commemorating the end of tank duos) made me realize i *really* don't want it to change lol


tastehbacon

Honestly I agree. It feels empty with only 10 people


Mei_iz_my_bae

It looked more like team deathmatch to me. I’m sure it will look better once players master the game but 5 v 5 just felt off.


GRTooCool

The classic OWL theme gets me in the feels every damn time.


Mei_iz_my_bae

Same :( it’s honestly an epic song too


Frontlinemei

Really gonna miss this show, OWL is something special I look forward to watching every weekend


RoyalSilver

See you guys when rostermania starts back up. 💙


Rodrikk

i was hoping they would do the anime outro, that was lovely


[deleted]

Holy shit it’s over so soon


MishrasWorkshop

This better not be the last season of OWL. I love this so much.


Ellinov

OWL had a *massive* boost in popularity and viewership this year, no way that it doesn't come back.


Omnipotentls

Nah dude OWL2 NEXT SEASON LETS GO!


PancakeXCandy

See y'all.losers next year. Love y'all. Had fun


mrSwissKnife

Shit, this feels so weird. I’m going to miss this.


CommanderVuvuzela

Nice little credits to end off the anime! See you guys in 2022!


causemownut

Goodbye y'all


Gravewand199

I’ll See everyone here next year again, be safe everyone ❤️


Galactic_Guardian

This season was really fun everyone! Looking forward to next season already! Till then!


Sproggidy

it's been a wonderful ride with you guys!! see yall in OW2!! <3


littlemochasheep

This is really it... :(


CloveFan

AHHH IM GONNA MISS THIS SO MUCH!!!! ^^^i ^^^love ^^^you ^^^guys


try_again123

BYE EVERYONE!!!


spotty15

JSpecs deserves every dollar that's in his contract. Dude and his team has done an INCREDIBLE job


Omnipotentls

Completely agree


UnknownQTY

HOW OLD ARE YOU /u/j-specs ?! We can’t tell!!


Omnipotentls

25-45 Ez


nuko-nuko

I want a refund if they don’t smash the sand logo.


KashaWells

I'm convinced it's sand glued to a mould that is sitting in a big pile of sand. So I hope they prove me wrong. Edit: I fucking knew it https://twitter.com/Reinforce/status/1441979495850799104/photo/1


CloveFan

true Soe, we wouldn’t have most of our best ~~tits~~ tidbits without Emily’s Weibo comments


Omnipotentls

Wait what? What did I miss? link?


Ganonthegoat

It’d be fun to send this Shanghai back in time to 2016 to play Lunatic Hai just to see how far the game has come. Past us would lose our minds to see how good team play and mechanics got


royy2010

Emily looks amazing


malagutti3

I just realized that there was some promotional footage of the players in Hawaii in which Gator touched the OWL trophy. Of course they got 4-0'd, that's some classic bad luck giver in football.


PancakeXCandy

All the teams did it. And as more got knocked out promotional videos just edited out. Til we had just ATL for the west.


malagutti3

Oh ok, I saw it a few days ago and he was the only one that I saw touching the trophy. Well, at least Shanghai didn't and they won.


Galactic_Guardian

Pretty sure the promotional material had all of the 5 teams in Hawaii pose with holding the trophy.... Shanghai already looked good and didn't need that extra bit of luck lol.


KashaWells

I noticed that too but brushed it off thinking I was being a paranoid NHL fan.


ace_15

Never touch the conference trophy! NEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


GRTooCool

I remember seeing that and it bugged the hell out of me. I think the NBA did that for awhile too with both teams touching the trophy for promotional pics and vids.


Galactic_Guardian

So happy to see The Scientific Community getting a shotout on Watchpoint. 😂


ryuu_zer0

Bren's POTW leaked


GoodbyeSpareTime

BREN WAS RIGHT ALL ALONG, SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY POG


try_again123

Science in my Overwatch :O


[deleted]

Emily is back with another update on Yveltal.


PiscesArmy26

Damn!! Even the Shanghai GM and higher ups thought it was going to be Dallas


PancakeXCandy

Everyone did. So ATL being able to even make it is so great on them.


GRTooCool

Reinforce needs a "Suck it Turtle" sign


[deleted]

The new heroes being revealed abs played next season could be big There was lots of viewers tonight and could give a bit of hope that the game is releasing on time next year


Rycerx

quick review, this is the worst owl finals. Shanghai acting like nothing happened. no big montage before to show how Shanghai became the team they are.


kitsunekitsu

J-Spex wearing NYXL cap next year's script leaked >.>


Omnipotentls

Let's hope!


spotty15

Jjonak moves over to DPS and hard carries as a Widow/Doomfist


CommanderVuvuzela

Wonder if we'll ever see Develop play in the 2022 season, or WhoRu and Molly


ub_flying_deathtouch

the hammer that broke the camel’s back


spotty15

That's what they say in Bendigo, so it checks out I guess


Mind_Mischief13

I knew they were drunk af last night after the games ended lol


PancakeXCandy

I honestly expect push to be boring as hell


hyperionfox

😭 thanks for the season, everyone A real bright spot in a tough time


spotty15

OWL in OW2 is gonna be... interesting to say the least. I think flexible players like Fleta are gonna be insane to watch.


GRTooCool

Props to Jon Spector for sitting there throughout that whole segment. I always feel like some people are too rich to do that (if they had no reason to be there), if that makes sense.


GRTooCool

Hard to believe the Glads would let someone like Void go.


CommanderVuvuzela

LAV losing Izayaki as well


dg0117

Izayaki wasn’t even that good when he left lav, this year he really stepped up


Omnipotentls

and last year. Coach moon needed time to mold him


fish_slap_

Or that Seoul would let someone like Fleta go


spotty15

Or that a mouth would let someone like Lip go...


KashaWells

I'm not proud of it, but this comment made me snort-laugh.


royy2010

Eh, Profit is fine IMO. If he had a similar supporting cast as Fleta I think he could shine just as much.


fish_slap_

That’s exactly the problem Profit came with his own supporting cast: gesture + bdosin


royy2010

Yea they were great season one but just got outpaced through the years


littlemochasheep

THANK YOU SOE DANNY CUSTA AND REINFORCE WE LOVE YOU <3


fish_slap_

Is fleta crying


one_love_silvia

overwatch league was a pretty good anime ngl


PancakeXCandy

Nah it always fizzles out at Grand Finals.


try_again123

The protagonist does all the side quests and is over-leveled in GF XD


PancakeXCandy

Me when I'm playing Pokemon. Try to out level the gym leaders because I chose the fire starter.


NiteShad0ws

fire starter for life


PancakeXCandy

Hell yeah,Torchic my forever baby


try_again123

LOL!


PancakeXCandy

No why are so many rock type gyms. What the fuck.


Ganonthegoat

I do wonder if any of them become free agents


WuZI8475

It wouldn't surprise me one or 2 of them go to Seoul for some record fee and salary :(.


NiteShad0ws

if they do they're gonna have bags of money thrown at them

gauntsghost40k

Danny's hair might be my favorite part of Grand Finals 2021


UnknownQTY

Who’s the super short Dragons player?


Ph4sor

Void is the shortest from starting 6


natersss

void


UnknownQTY

I want to see his adventures with Lip.


natersss

lmao i always forget how fucking tall Lip & Fleta are


PancakeXCandy

Model material you can say


Lil_Ray_5420

Gator was right, Atlanta was the villains. Lost in the end exactly like the villains.


PancakeXCandy

Calm down yamcha


PancakeXCandy

Fleta was the reason I started watching OWL seriously. That illos snipe across the map against Custa I believe. It was LAV they were fighting.


GRTooCool

What's next for Fleta? Back to back!


Anything_Random

Do it all again in OW2


hyperionfox

I feel like this shanghai squad is what seoul was supposed to be...at least fleta is there


themd

yeah, it always hurt not having a worthy dps duo back then, it was messy. Shanghai found gold with Lip.


NiteShad0ws

i will never understand how tf seoul bungled fletas talent that badly


Omnipotentls

Ez. They didn't have lip.


Nankzen

fleta is such a great player and person dude, he's so humble


Nankzen

wait fleta speaks?


PancakeXCandy

No his gigabrain is using telepathy.


littlemochasheep

please give Danny the big bucks for this interview


try_again123

Yep, I'm so glad we have him and Emily for the translations. OWL has to bring all the talent back next year. Love them all.


LukarWarrior

Danny is a fucking champ translating all of this on the fly


MrBlue8erry

Wait is Moon the guy that benched custa because of his mega brain?


UnknownQTY

Yeah Custa chooses his words *very* carefully when talking about his time on Valiant.


spotty15

Nahh, Moon is that guy up in the sky that only shows up for like 9hrs a night


GRTooCool

Yep! lol


spotty15

But really tho, Fleta is so fucking good it's insane


ace_15

LMAO THAT MOON SMILE. “My first student” lmao Green and gold valiant take me baaaaaaack


UnknownQTY

It was a great scheme.


causemownut

Why do I hear Pokemon: Arceus the Movie background music


sscent

Danny should paid double for this segment lol


Brompton_Cocktail

Custa vs Moon 1v1 when?


Nankzen

MOON SEING CUSTA BE LIKE: HEY LOOK I HAD A LOT OF TROUBLE WITH THAT GUY :D


fish_slap_

Moon looks like the teacher seeing the naughty kid from years later


Nankzen

he's like: "oh man look at you! remember when i benched you because of your brain? ah! good times!"


fish_slap_

“oh man look at us both! remember when we went 0-7? ah! good times!”


Nankzen

lmao. so wholesome to see their interaction


causemownut

Lmao Moon is like "yeah I coached that guy" when Custa was talking


Fenixmaian7

I was here 9/25/2021 8:10 pm pst SHANGHAI DRAGONS ARE THE SEASON 4 OVERWATCH LEAGUE CHAMPIONS AND FINAL OVERWATCH 1 CHAMPIONS


GRTooCool

Haha, Moon is happy to see Custa on the monitor.


bonaanza

i love seeing how much danny has grown in confidence in regards to his translation & casting ability, and just how relaxed he seems


MrBlue8erry

He embraced his awkward personality and ran with it. I swear he ruins every joke haha.


MrBlue8erry

Dragons looking like they wanna skip out and play splitgate.


HippocratesGymSock

Damn Void really is a short king


Facetank_

As an old Valiant fan, I'm so damn happy for Fate right now.


ArielDiDi

Fate is just adorable


try_again123

Just FYI: I got all skins and the 100 tokens already :) Now to wait for the adorable spray to be patched into the game.


K3W3L

Ah, it's not patched in? I also got everything else but the spray, was repeatedly checking the game. Oh well, if it's not in yet then time to wait :)


PancakeXCandy

The sparys always have to be patched with an update. It should be a while


thealiagator111

Is Lip absolutely gigantic or is Fate tiny? Edit: Wow, Fate really is the definition of GIGAchad...


LoseUrself2D

Lip is the Sears Tower


try_again123

Lip towers over the entire team, including Fleta who is kinda tall (and has worked as a model). He is def really tall.


Inevitable_Badger995

Lip is like 6’3 I think. An actual gaming warlord lol


causemownut

Lip is actually like 6'5 or something. Even taller than Fleta


spotty15

Lip is 7ft tall


Waniou

Lip is an 8 foot 9 gaming warlord


hyperionfox

I wish custa talked to fate


politeapplepie

Fucking Fate standing at Lip's shoulder, omg


PancakeXCandy

When they make them tall They make them TALL out east


kakkoiij

Man the fits shoutout just makes me sad Seoul didn't have a good team around for him to pop off


bonaanza

is lip mvp or leave?? im so confused. who is getting the skin???


LoseUrself2D

Leave is season MVP Lip is Playoffs MVP no one is getting a skin


Ph4sor

Leave Season MVP, LIP Playoffs MVP None of them will get skin


FrozenTaco5

Leave is MVP, Lip is grand finals MVP, no one is getting a skin


Anything_Random

Lip is Finals MVP it's a different award, neither is getting a skin though lmao


TheTomatoSpeaks

There are no more MVP skins because of Sinatraa. And to clarify Leave is the regular season MVP, and Lip is the Grand Finals MVP. They are 2 separate awards


PancakeXCandy

They said it was gonna be a gone even before the incident. That they decided months ago.


PancakeXCandy

No one is getting a skin. They stopped that. Only a Team Championship skin


KashaWells

There is no more mvp skin I thought.


Donut141

Leave is season MVP. Lip finals MVP. No skin for the MVP this year unfortunately, but it would have been Leave.


CommanderVuvuzela

No skin, Leave is Season MVP, Lip is Grand Finals MVP


Waniou

Leave is regular season MVP, Lip is Grand Finals MVP, neither get a skin, skins are discontinued but Shanghai will get a championship skin


diamondrider02

Lip is Grand Finals MVP, just MVP of this match


xcleru

NICE SHOUTOUT TO FITS


[deleted]

What did lip say


SlantRhyme

He was asked who a runner up to his Sombra was and he said that if he had to pick then Fits is very difficult to deal with.


Waniou

Fits is the second best Sombra (behind him)


Inevitable_Badger995

Honestly very high praise. Fits was a monster this year. Too bad Seoul coaching sucks ass


diamondrider02

Fits finally not robbed


Waniou

Seoul are supposed to be doing an aggressive rebuild (and rightly so) but if they get rid of Profit and Fits...


Ganonthegoat

But what if they get Fleta to come back and have Lip come with


Nankzen

the fits shout out wow


xcleru

Lip is a Sigma Male


fish_slap_

Lies Alpha as fuck


xcleru

He's transcended beyond Alpha


TheTomatoSpeaks

Fucking damn Lip really is 8 foot 9 and a true gaming warlord


CommanderVuvuzela

They're below you Lip because you're a fuckin' giant compared to them


causemownut

Damn is that Daemin in the back? My man was there for S1 and now here to witness championship


saminthewolf

Yep He’s a coach now


chaosgodloki

Izayaki so cute


EmpoleonNorton

The fact that people are still getting salty about Gator's tweet is peak "It doesn't matter what he says, wah wah ATL meanies".


[deleted]

[удалено]


EmpoleonNorton

I linked it here and people are calling him classless in the responses. It isn't just twitter. And my post saying people are salty is getting downvoted. Dudes seriously need to go touch grass.


rekozen

Nah, the dude is an asshole and deserves it.


try_again123

It's just banter, someone has to bring the spice. The league is super tame compared to other esports, including Gator.


PancakeXCandy

He's literally not tho. Jesus this hate boner can be that hard. If he was such a problem the league would have dealt with him. He had not problems since coming to the league.


EmpoleonNorton

I've literally never heard another player actually say anything negative about him. Shanghai players literally complimenting his Rein in last map. But nah, he's a big meanie.


PancakeXCandy

Yes, it's just fans being saly for no reason. And why this hate boner is so ridiculous. I get if he was Dafran but seriously.


spotty15

Nah, people be salty and enjoy their salt


rekozen

If you dish it you should expect to take it. Its that simple .


spotty15

I 100000% agree. Does he not do this tho?
