You can see here that the Koi effect does not even show up in stadium.

Now I am faced with the conundrum of if I care enough about Overwatch to download this Chinese spyware browser on my computer.

Is this really just the end point of 6v6 open queue games?

For those unaware, this is (unofficially) a bundle celebrating Florida Mayhem as the final winners of OWL. It also features a dance emote inspired by Someone.

I think Geekay is the most likely team to join. Not only do they have history in OWCS and have been shown to be adaptable to multiple regions, they’re currently in a region with only 3 partners. Also they have a different style which would stand out in terms of partner skins, unlike some teams.

Varrel also feels like it has to be coming in the next round, lest we forget they were the only non partner team invited to the preseason bootcamp. Varrel has been a part of Overwatch Esports since contenders, it feels less like an if and more like a when they finally get partner.

NRG isn’t one I feel too confident about, but I wanted to list it cause it always comes up when this topic rolls around. Despite the finality surrounding their initial rejection for partner, they do seem interested in returning to Overwatch. This could be through a partnership with DSG, who we know has looked for a partner in the past, or it could be as a new OWCS partner.

Also, to be clear, I do not think anyone leaves the program this year. Even though DSG has had a poor season their skin sales have been ridiculous, I believe they stay.

Team Falcons: I want to like this bundle because it’s a very unique color, but idk I just think the green and silver doesn’t work well. Beyond that the other cosmetics are very uninspired, I mean look at the name card and tell me if you’d know that was Falcons and not a Magic and Mischief name card or something.

C

AGG and JDG: I think these two actually share a problem, which is why I grouped them together and put them in C. It’s just too much red. Four out of a total of 14 partner skins are primarily red, and I think that’s just ridiculous. What’s even crazier is that I actually think these are slightly better in color than CR with better, more vibrant reds. It is, however, much harder to sell these bundles because they are up against one of the most storied OWCS teams of all time in CR. AGG itself has had controversies in two separate regions and JDG is still new. I do like their other cosmetics, but ultimately it’s hard to sell against CR.

Crazy Raccoon: Again, it’s red, black and white. The same as the previous two. This bundle benefits off being CR, a popular team which most have positive feelings towards, but ultimately I think the red is a bit too desaturated. The mascot is cute, but ultimately feels a bit too much like they’re trying to piggyback of Zeta’s mascot hype. Overall, just good but not great.

Twisted Minds: I think this is a genuinely improved color scheme than last years, which I would’ve given a C. The big difference here is the use of the shiny finish for the pink rather than the matte finish which was used last time, making it much more unique. There are only two things holding it back from A though. First, it does resemble Florida Mayhem’s skins a lot, which luckily I think this time has actually been moved away from, and second the brain mascot thing scares me.

SSG: I actually think last years bundle was a tad better with the blue and gold, this years bundle uses a darker blue which I think doesn’t look quite as good. That said it’s still a very strong design, and the other cosmetics are really unique and interesting. That said there is one team that does both better which holds this back in A.

Virtus Pro: Pretty much the same color design from last year, which is good because imo last years was very strong. I think this years bundle has one main point of improvement, that being the other cosmetics which bump it from B to A. The profile picture especially has been one of the most popular ones of the entire series.

Dallas Fuel: Going into this year many people were concerned that Dallas would look exactly the same as their old skins, making this bundle completely redundant. Luckily, Dallas has a new look which I think looks slightly better than their old skins. The black/dark blue with the light blue accents looks incredibly sleek. They also have a new marketable mascot which seems mandatory for these teams, which is ok. Not as good as some others.

T1: The kings of red in OWCS. The red/white with ruby accents both stands out from the three other red teams (just too much red) and also looks incredibly sleek compared to them. They also lean into the marketability of the fire penguin thing, which seems to be an ongoing pattern.

Team Liquid: even with Dallas, the navy blue still stands out very well, I’m honestly impressed at how well it managed to hold up from last year. Last years name card was a fan favorite, and this years manages to hold that spot. I also very much appreciate the peach-horsey, and the main source of improvement from last year is the spray. It’s a small detail, but man last year’s spray was not great. This year? Man.

Zeta Division: just like last year this bundle is hard carried by the marketability of their mascot. The skins are pretty good (albeit with some controversy due to looking slightly different in advertising vs in game) but it’s the mascot which makes me put it so high, and even consider it for S.

S

Weibo: And to absolutely no one’s surprise Weibo is in S. It’s pink. It has a cute marketable mascot. What else do you want? Slightly off topic, is its name pinkoo? I wasn’t sure if that’s the name or what.

Team Peps: The only partner to get relegated but damn can they make a bundle. The bronze and white is perfect, and they have forgone the cute marketable mascot to instead fill the role left by Team CC and make the hot marketable mascot. Slightly on the nose considering what kind of animal it is, but it’s good all the same.

DSG: Bold prediction but they’re staying in OWCS with how popular this bundle is. They stole SSG’s whole flow from last year and improved it with the white/indigo accents, not to mention the best name card of this years wave. Easily the bundle I have seen the most in my games, can’t win a match to save their life but god damn can they sell some bundles.

Well it certainly is a Russo bros movie, which means all the flavors of brown and grey are represented.

/uj pretty visually stunning, really shows the difference between making 5 shows at once vs focusing on 1 show. Kinda hope he gets a crack at his movie with how good that looked.

As far as I’ve seen Sebastian is still the one handling Deltarune copyright himself.

How do content creators who play the game for a living consistently have the worst takes on the game imaginable? Like yes, let’s nerf every single hero in the game down to the level of the one people compare to launch lifeweaver, this is a smart idea that will make players happy!

Jason he was literally tied up right in front of your eyes when you and Tim were attacked from behind by a completely separate person, lock tf in and THINK.

For some reason the koi will just disappear shortly after you spawn in. You can emote immediately and as long as you stay in the emote its fine, but the moment you leave the emote and try again they just disappear and will not spawn back in. Making a post to the OW Bug Forums for this to hopefully get fixed

Edit: posted bug report here
