Overwatch League Most Iconic Moments...

[@mrchun4018]

Fun fact: the 4 teams with the worst records in the inaugural season all managed to turn it around win the league before the end.

[@boomingbob1579]

And the ones with the worst records swept the finals with barely any map losses

[@azureal]

seeing the dragons grasp their first win ever during season 2 then later become grand finals champions a few seasons later was a wild journey

What made me fall in love with OWL was the first game between Seoul Dynasty and Dallas Fuel and seeing the level of coordination. The map was Temple of Anubis and Dallas was defending point A. They showed a over the top view of the fight and Seoul surrounds Dallas and then sudden collapses of them from all sides obliterating them. It was the first time I've seen that level of coordination. Didn't miss a game after that. And was able to go to the Inaugural Grand Championship in New York with my friends. It was a blast

The 2017-19 years were by far the best times I had watching an esport, it’s impossible for me to express my full thoughts and feelings I experienced during those years in a KZbin comment, SO many amazing memories from player vlogs, content involving the players, THE MEMES, the Comm checks, streams, the hype storylines, it felt like a tv show with each team having different qualities and the different personalities on each team made every day so exciting and interesting. I am proud to have been a part of this wonderful journey from the very start to the very finish. Thank you Overwatch League for everything. ❤️

This game has opened up so many routes in my life and working directly with Blizzard for a couple of events was some of the best times I've ever had. This game continues to amaze me and I owe so much to its creation. Soe's speech will forever live in my mind ♥

[@thecanadiandefender1451]

Been following the league since day one, and I was fortunate enough that I was able to go to Grand Finals in Toronto this year. While it may not have been the biggest or most intense Grand Finals, it was by far the most emotional. Everyone there kinda knew it was likely to be the last one, but dammit we made the most of it. This Grand Finals felt like one last hurrah, one more trip 'round the sun. Soe's speech summed it up perfectly just how all of us felt. It was a dream and I'm glad I got to be there to witness it. Getting to see one of my all time favourite players turned caster Custa (he even signed my old-school Valiant colour scheme shoe), being able to meet so many people from the Toronto Defiant and the other teams that made it to Finals, and all the amazing people from Discord servers that travelled from all over the world to come support their teams. We've all made lots of friends along the way and I'm glad I got to meet all these amazing people before it has inevitably come to an end.

[@stayedleopard4]

One of the moments that always gets to me is when alarm starts talking. I watched him during contenders and how he slapped the other teams and won back to back championships in contenders. He wasn't in the owl for too long but to me and to many other people he was definitely the best support we've ever seen. The stuff he could do as a support was like nothing anyone else could do, not even the new generation supports could do the same. I miss seeing him play and I hope his family is doing well, RIP alarm you will always be missed.
