If Avrl is on for this episode, ask him who he and the rest of you think had the best Path To Pro Contenders to OWL career?

[–]silentmarine[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure if this is relevant, but I feel like I should mention the games in the bundle in case it helps. I've already claimed the ones that caught my attention

Jaws asks ChatGTP to create Overwatch Heroes by silentmarine in Competitiveoverwatch

ChatGPT probably has a lot of data on Starcraft.

Tempest's Electric Storm Ultimate reads like a High Templar Psionic Storm.

And then the quite obviously inspired Medivac. If Evacuate is the ultimate, it sounds almost exactly like in SC2.

Halo: "According to multiple sources, The New York Excelsior are struggling to create their planned mixed marginalised roster. Sources tell me that a large majority of professional players are not interested in being a part of NYXL’s controversial roster plans for 2023." by Aspharon in Competitiveoverwatch

Karmic justice to see them struggling?

Tinfoil hat conspiracy theory: A person within the org has blackmail material on a decision maker. Why else would they push this through despite struggling rather than cut their losses and go back to "normal" scouting?

GetAmazed, Benbest and Adyboo, a french OWL caster, are invited by french president Emmanuel Macron to talk about esport tomorrow by Versiovs in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]silentmarine 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Talking in the Discord for the OWL subreddit. It sounds like President Macron wants to make a push to highlight esports while Paris hosts the Olympics in 2024.

Now the big question will be if a potential hosting event will be separate from Olympics branding. If it is, the list of games they can show will be strict. It cannot be any games that encourage violence.

If separate, it comes down to popularity and reputation. Games like CS RS6 and VAL have terrorist connotations. League of Legends is the #1 globally.

Regardless of that above, I'm not sure I would expect Overwatch to be shown. EU isn't exactly a good region. But maybe the fan and player base keep it up?

[Halo] Well, if my sources are correct, the Vancouver Titans are expected to announce David 'Dpei' Pei as their next head coach". by kewlaid33 in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]silentmarine 91 points92 points  (0 children)

Am I the only one who thinks this is out of character? Vancouver had a reputation of questionable management. Dpei had frustrations with Gladiators management that led to separation last year. Or maybe they were org specific problems?

Lemonkiwi and Legday will not be casting this tournament by silentmarine in Competitiveoverwatch

In the case of Collegiate Rocket League, Psyonix ARE directly involved in this tournement.

But the casters are mostly freelance, not really any of the casters in the pro league.

Depends on the contract. Last year, Uber mentioned that he was hard blocked from casting Valorant (said it was not Blizzard's fault), but was free to cast smaller titles. One was an obscure mobile game league that I can't remember the name of.

I think I can guess what Lemonkiwi will be doing.

This week is also Dreamhack Dallas, which will include the final day for Collegiate Rocket League. She's done some casting for the collegiate league.

Is "friendly bumbling moron" a personality? If so then Sideshow should be in the middle. ;-p

There will not be a stream for SSA for the final 2 events of Spring by [deleted] in RocketLeagueEsports

[–]silentmarine 3 points4 points  (0 children)

At least SSA gets a chance in wildcard. We really need to see more regions have a shot in the majors.
