I take it you don't want my autograph, then.


I was able to clear my alt with a prepaid chip. Went to 7/11, bought a chip, walked home and slotted it into a spare phone and did the verification immediately after activating the 4g network. Not in US though, for what it's worth, but if you got a prepaid SIM you might as well give it a whirl.

E: Telcel (regular carrier) and Diri (MVNO), both prepaid with no contracts, for reference

I'm assuming whoever that is, is getting paid to 'create content'?

He used to be a big Overwatch content creator and professional player, now he does variety for a fraction of the stress

I don't watch owl often at all but any time I've seen it it's basically all very cis-looking Korean boys. are there even females or trans competitors at this point? why announce that?

e: oh it's for a tournament specifically for marginalized identities. but why do verification then

Presumably, the amount of cis men who sign up for tournaments like these to troll and make some nebulous "point" about "competitive parity" is large enough to merit some screening at the door. I've never seen a marginalized-group-focused tournament without some screening of some sort, anecdotally

That seems likely, didn't realize an event was happening

It's all right, they didn't realize an event was coming either :haw:

Hoping that people will know the new control points for Starwatch by this weekend. I had a match where all my teammates kept pinging me to go defend old Horizon A when Starwatch A is basically at Attack spawn's door. We lost A and B by the time my teammates realized they were too far back :doh:

e: this works both ways - had a game where the enemy steamrolled us on all points but the last one, as their Winton carry didn't realize until 20s before the end of the match that point D was the room next to Horizon B. This is the only time I've gotten that room as a control point from half a dozen games, so maybe it's a rare spawn? Still won tho :v:

They didn't tell Team 4 specifically, that person is from the dev team. The people who were let go were told yesterday.

Based on the timing (finals was Oct. 1), I wonder if all the Le Sserafim collaboration was supposed to premiere at the OWL championship (the same way Riot revealed K/D/A during a League championship) and that got spiked by the business decision to end the league.

The Overwatch League's previous and most distinguished musical guest (back on the first Season, when they were spending money galore) was DJ Khaleed... so probably not
