Can we take a moment to acknowledge how good the broadcast personalities are for owc? THEY OWNED. I was really impressed especially with the EU casters like Tridd that I had never heard. There were many points where I was thinking to myself, wow this is better than OWL casting. Cool to see fresh, promising on screen talent for overwatch.

There is something so special about watching people that haven't made it to the big stage yet playing out of their minds trying to get noticed.

Eu casters were a lot better than semmler
On na we have zp who while rusty is one of the most experienced and best casters/analysts in overwatch

my issue is during the NA they wouldn't shut up about mangachus genji...they spent 20mins before game 4 of LAG v MA talking about it, and outside of 2 good blades it was average.

You sure have a very weird definition of what makes a good Genji

There's a lot more than blades, Mangachu has the ability to draw attention from his team while playing really carefully and defensively to avoid getting picked. He's poking enough damage to be more than annoying to make people pay attention to him and actually creates space for himself, Midnight and Nenne while avoiding to die.

Plus he's made really quick progress on Genji given it was a hero he wasn't playing much until recently (that's why he wasn't in the OWL to begin with, people saw him as a "Pharah one-trick"), so he does deserve a praise imo.

Which is fair enough, there is more too it but otherwise including non blade moments I wasn't as impressed as the casters were.

But my point was on top of the extended down time they chose to talk about completely unrelated match, instead of discussing what just happened on the last map

I still can't get over the guy on the EU desk who calls himself Leg Day lmfao

Got to agree though, the casters have been on point so far
