#143: Countdown Cup Week 2 (2022)

Lots of news from inside and outside OWL as competition heightens and Overwatch 2 is on our doorstep!

We start by sifting through the flood of late season news stories. Several teams have signed new players to plug last minute gaps in their rosters while other have seen major player retirements. We talk about the likely outcome of all of these player moves as teams look to make a home stretch push for championship gold. MVP voting and Championship weekend are both announced, while OWL also increases moves to marginalized gender communities through the "Calling All Heroes" program. We go on to cover major news regarding Overwatch 2's release and the Defense Matrix initiative looking to combat toxicity in online play.



We look back at last week's games, highlighting major upsets, player performances and more before wrapping up with the resignation of a major Activision Blizzard corporate leader.
