    OWL got me started in esports. It got me into Obsing. It taught me lessons I'll never forget.
    OWL will always hold a special place in my heart.
    Thank you for this, and thank you all for everything.

    Honestly feels near ESPN/NFL films quality. This is easily one of my all time favourite films I've watched on UA-cam.
    The editing is great, but some of the shot compositions were even better. There was one moment of Primal Rage Winston flying around that you did in a single shot, no cuts, that was really awesome.
    Fantastic work!

    In 2018, the Overwatch League helped me fall in love with esports.
    In 2021, it inspired me to start casting.
    In 2023, it left.
    My heart is broken, but I wouldn't trade the nights I stayed up for APAC matches, the Map 7 heartbreaks, or the painful reverse sweeps for anything.
    OWL made me whole again after I lost a large part of myself, as corny as it sounds, and I'm delighted to have experienced this era of Overwatch esports.
    Whatever comes next, I'll be there. Watching, casting, laughing, cheering, crying, whatever.
    Thank you for this video.

    "your masters of mischief now stand as monarchs, kings for all time" is truly beautiful commentating.
    OWL got me into esports as, excluding halo, I never been deeply into a game with such an alive professional competitive environment.
    And that instantly drove me to the love of good casting talent, even now I have favorites I tune in to hear on valorant (spoilers: its Bren and Sideshow who I was introduced to in OWL!). OWL truly had an enjoyable team of knowledgeable casters that clearly loved the game even more than I did, seeing as I havent played or kept up in months. That's a line that will absolutely stick.
    I hope the entire team has their talent recognized in every game they decide to branch out to or return to

      I absolutely LOVE what Uber brought to OWL.
      I had yet to re-watch the final moments of OWL 2023, and hearing that line was incredible. Just in case you didn't know, the Florida Mayhem were one of the original 12 teams in OWL and their OG roster included many players from the Miami-based organization Misfits Gaming including CWoosH, Logix, Manneten, TviQ, Zebbosai, Zuppeh, as well as coach Mineral and our beloved Reinforce.
      "Your masters of mischief now stand as Monarchs" is just Uber's beautiful multi-level wordplay at work enhanced with alliteration. "kings of all time" continues playing on the royalty wordplay while acknowledging the yet to be officially revealed fact that the Florida Mayhem will forever bear the final crown of the Overwatch League.
      Much love to OWL's talent team, and love the shoutout to BrenShow. Freaking Legends.

    I knew coming into this I'd cry. I held off until Soe's final speech. The tears came right back, just as they did on that day. I love(d) OWL. Despite it's flaws, it brought me lasting friendships, amazing memories, travel, and experiences. I sincerely hope this isn't the end of Overwatch Esports, even if it's under a different flag and banner. If it is, though, thank you. To everyone. The people working on it, the casters, the behind the scenes, the social media crew, the players, all of you. I've been in my fair share of communities in the gaming space. None felt more like a family than this to me. Even with bitter rivalries, we all got behind a central goal.
    Long live, The Overwatch League.

    As one of the comments posted here, OWL is also what hooked me into eSports. I started following OWL religiously during Season 2 after seeing Guxue do nasty things on Winston and followed him to Hangzhou Spark. Seeing them being cemented on making history on OWL and being showcased here as well beautifully really made me teared up.
    Then Soe's speech wrecked me. What a beautiful send-off to OWL. Thank you very much for this Christmas gift.

    I was fortunate enough to be able to make it to the last Grand Finals, and I cannot find words to describe the energy in the arena when Hangzhou pulled off those two reverse sweeps. Those two series are without a doubt some of the most exhilarating professional Overwatch I have ever watched. Legday's call had every hair on my body standing up with the chills it gave me 3:46

    Thank you for your video. OWL has been a vivid and colorful part of my life. Even during my senior year in high school in China, I continued to watch the league. This year was both outstanding and the most regretful for the Chengdu Hunters. I’ve often fantasized about the Hangzhou Spark winning the championship. Meanwhile, the Philadelphia Fusion is my favorite team. Thanks to Carpe, Poko, Zest, Eqo, Fury, MN3, Alarm for everything they’ve contributed to Philadelphia. Forever cherishing Alarm

    Thank you for creating this. The painstaking dedication it took isn't lost. Watching the OWL was a central part of my life, from reserving tickets in Dec 2017 to go see Stage 1 live in Burbank on through the final finals. OWL was the only event I've ever hosted a watch party for. My anecdotes could go on, it will suffice to say having a passionate production like this to look back at is very special. I haven't had a good cry for almost 10 months, this was what finally let me drop the wall.

      @@RYDARUShaha that's a good point, they didn't really have any close games tbh, they either got rolled 3-1 or 4-0 by the Mayhem or they destroyed every other team they played 3-0, so I didn't really consider that and how those games would be boring for the video. Also I hope you don't think I didn't like the video, it's absolutely brilliant - feels like the perfect final send off for OWL 😢

    Beautiful send off, thank you. It's crazy to me that a league that inspired so much love in its fans that you were willing to not just put in your time and expertise but your own money to do it justice was not able to support work like this in an official capacity. But I guess it really has been the fans and those on the ground that made it what it is, and I really hope that Overwatch esports continues on with the support of such enthusiastic, talented people.
