OWL Stage 3 Week 1

Stage 3 kicked off with a bang last week. Boston managed to win both of their games putting them tied for 4th place with their rivals the Philadelphia Fusion on the season total and 3rd place so far in the Stage 3 rankings.

Dragon Quest XI Gets An Official Release Date

I am a huge Dragon Quest fan. I like Dragon Quest more than the Final Fantasy series when it comes to my JRPGs. I love the stories and the art direction (thanks to Akira Toriyama of DragonBall fame). 

When this popped up this morning on my Facebook wall, I let out a very large "HELL YES FINALLY" and then there was awkward stares from my co-workers. But whatever, we finally have a release date.  

The highly anticipated large-scale RPG Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive…

OWL Stage 2 Week 5 Results & Standings

This is the week of the Stage 2 finals. We had some upsets, reserve sweeps, and heart breaks.

First I want to talk about the unsung heroes of Overwatch. The support players. From JJoNak on NYXL, who put in an outstanding performance on Zenyatta, to ryujehong on the Dynasty team, who can literally play Ana at such a high level that its complete insanity.…

Funko Pop Overwatch Series 4 Leak

If you are anything like me, you collect things. My new collecting habits have been these little vinyl figures known around the world as Funko Pops. What started as a small "anime" style figure, has blossomed into a multi million dollars company that holds the license to almost everything from Star Wars to the Golden Girls. 

While I don't have a lot of Funko's, compared to most people, I do collect lines (or series) of pops. My current one is Overwatch. I love Overwatch, everybody…

Revenge, reserve sweeps, and upsets were all in this weeks matches. London beat Boston to get their revenge from last stage. LA Gladiators then upset London a few days later. Meanwhile, Dallas had things on lock down against the Florida Mayhem, only to get reverse swept. And the Dragons just can't seem to get things together still. 

Here is the over all…

OWL Week 5 Results and Stage 1 Playoffs

Wow... What a week. Dreams were crushed and dreams were made. Boston, after having an amazing set against Philly, failed to beat Houston (in, IMO the best set of high level Overwatch we have seen) too secure their playoff spot. After having a rough start, Dallas managed to win a game in a dominate fashion. If they played this like all of Stage 1. The playoffs would…

(Edited) Developing Story From The Overwatch League That You Can't Miss

Last Sunday I report that Geguri has been signed to an OWL team. It took 48 hours for this news to change drastically. 



Where it started was a reddit post, saying that during a live stream. Geguri commented that she was picked up by "a foreign team" and gave no other information on it. The rumors started flying on what team picked her up. Names like Dallas and Boston were flying around, as she has ties to both of those teams in one way or another. 

The next day it was…

OWL Week 4 Results An Standings

Not a super big week in terms of upsets but, a lot did happen. First off, this was the week of sweeps. Out of the 12 games total played this week, 8 of them were 4-0's (which lead to the new meme "4-0verwatch"). So nothing exciting at all. The Dragons once again lost all of their matches and are still in last place. With us going into week 5, its safe to say that…
