Laughing, Crying, Remembering: A Weekend with my Esports Family

August 27, 2018 Connor "GoopyKnoopy" Knudsen All-Star Weekend, Event, League

Laughter

If you followed the Overwatch League All-Star game this weekend, then you definitely laughed at least once. Whether it was while Custa and Bischu were giggling through casting, or while watching Reinforce literally carry his team to victory – we all found moments that made us smile. Constantly, I would catch myself laughing or simply sitting with a constant grin on my face. After a while, I got to thinking. Why is this whole experience so wholesome and familiar to me? Where are these feelings of nostalgia coming from? Why do I want to cry tears of happiness when Mickie does literally anything? Read more …

Overwatch League Minority Report: The Loudest Minority

August 23, 2018 Brittany "Briggsy" González Columns, League, Minority Report

I’ve always hated my voice.

Depending on the day, it varies between contralto with hints of Philadelphia, New York, and Trinidadian accents, and that of a 12-year-old boy with strep throat who’s also going through puberty. I understand, to a point, how people could mistake my gender by hearing my voice without seeing my face. With time, I was able to shrug it off without feeling too offended. After all, I don’t think accidentally being considered male is offensive, unless it’s deliberately used to mock my femininity.

And then, there was Overwatch.

All-Star Preview: Team Pacific

August 20, 2018 Connor "GoopyKnoopy" Knudsen League

The Pacific All-Star Team hopes to channel their fiery mascot and light up early against Team Atlantic. Team Pacific boasts a much more diverse roster than their counterparts, with four different teams in their starting six. Of these, they will be looking to the tank line of Seyeon “Geguri” Kim and Chan-Hyung “Fissure” Baek to be the anchors of the team. However, it will take much more than the protection from these two tanks if the Pacific side wants to slay Goliath. Read more …

All-Star Preview: Team Atlantic

August 20, 2018 Connor "GoopyKnoopy" Knudsen League

The New York Excel – I mean, the Atlantic All-Star team – is one of the most stacked rosters that Overwatch has ever seen. The team is headlined by league MVP Seong-Hyun “JJoNaK” Bang. With JJoNaK, half of NYXL, and some big name reserves, the Atlantic team certainly has star power.

The Disconnect in Competitive OW and OWL: What can be done?

August 8, 2018 Sameer Karim Commentary, League

With the off-season in full swing, I decided to do some research on a topic that’s bugged me for some time. Why would people who play Overwatch competitively not be interested in the Overwatch League? It just didn’t make any sense to me. The league showcases some of the highest levels of competitive Overwatch ever recorded. There had to be some reason they weren’t tuning in.
