Well with all that effort they put into to OWL, I guess they deserve it.

Funny, I thought with all the money WE game THEM to be able to even make something like OWL, we’d get frequent ingame updates.

Jjonak was nominated for best Esports player of the year, but unfortunately did not win the award.

Tell me about it, the fact that Yuri Lowenthal or Brian Dechart didn’t win the award for their performances is astounding.
