Sacrificing salary this year in exchange for a cut of the prize money so that we could fit @CH0R0NG_OW into the budget turned out to be a good financial decision.

- Retiring from competitive Overwatch. Competing no longer makes sense given lack of financial incentives, absurd hours, and the even worse than expected 2024 ecosystem. It's time to relentlessly dominate the corporate world (work 9-5 while diligently following company policies)
- According to Blizzard this is the rule we violated during the match. We genuinely weren't aware it was an exploit. I think this rule is super vague but in the future we'll check with Blizzard to make sure.
- If anyone is interested in the workshop that OWL teams are using to prepare for OW2, here is a link including the code and patch notes: bit.ly/3xQrHkt
- Nominated for Best Esports Coach this year at @thegameawards.

00:00Readers added contextThe bitly link in the post does not go to voting for The Game Awards. The link was not claimed, meaning anyone could claim it to change where it pointed to. Another X user, @_FireMonkey, claimed the link and directed it to their X profile. twitter.com/_FireMonkey/st… - Rupal started today playing Kiriko for the first time because the roster was submitted post KBBQ. Our bad.
- We signed MAKA to prepare for next season where we are not likely to be able to retain most of our current players as of course we are a low budget team. We don't intend to use him this season and we are not going full Korean.
- With all of the work Blizzard is doing to model the Overwatch League after traditional sports, their approach to statistics (both in and out of game) seems completely inconsistent. Maybe the NFL should consider medals?
- After an amazing season with @LAValiant, I've decided to part ways. Big thanks to them for taking a chance on someone with no coaching experience! Working with @BostonUprising for the past few weeks has been a positive experience and I expect great things for Season 2. #BostonUpWelcome to #BostonUp @GunbaOW. We look forward to having you as a part of the Uprising. 🔗: bit.ly/2J4TjsA
- Replying to @GunbaOWI will continue with the guys over the next few days as they qualify for Dallas.

- Getting paid to tell professional players to play GOATS is the dream job.
- Have decided to leave @Immortals. Appreciate the opportunity to scout and develop so many amazing players. Will (hopefully) be returning home for the first time in two years for a short break before considering opportunities.
