I, WyomingMyst, am a Forum MVP. This means I spend a great deal of time helping players with Overwatch (which is why my text is green in color). This thread is not related to my role as a Forum MVP and I do not represent Blizzard Entertainment.
Thank you for your cooperation and enjoy the match!
Quick, off-topic side note to Wyoming: I saw your tweet earlier about how your post-graduation job hunting is going. Know this: I am very much in the same boat as you. Earlier this weekend, I FINALLY got an email back from this position I applied to several weeks ago (and as suspected, I would not be interviewed for the position).
At this point, I’m about to just take a job at the local burger joint just to make sure I can start paying off these student loans. sigh…
ANYWHO, on to the match at hand. Since the start of the 2019 season, Battles for Texas always leave you on the edge of your seat. Back at The First Homestand in Dallas, the Fuel’s win over Houston left me with an extremely weak heart and my emotions a nervous wreck…right before finals. Same deal with the Battle for Texas in the 2020 May Melee Knockouts…weak-hearted and a nervous wreck right before finals. And now we’ve had 3 Battles For Texas in 2 short months, with a fourth on the horizon.
I think Houston takes this one 3-2 in a 6-map marathon thriller, but I would not be surprised if it went the other way.
Yeah I know its rough, and that was the reason I did not participate in the East region matches this morning. I put a lot of effort into my portfolio website, but according to my page tracker. No one is visiting it. It seems like my design style (which is also seen in my resume and cover letter) is just turning off the recruiters. So I am going to be going back to the drawing board and overhaul my personal branding on my portfolio. Probably even build all new portfolio pieces.
Still, in the long run, I think I need to start investing my time into something other than Overwatch.
Just let me know if there’s any way I can help…whether it’s by taking over the creation of these match discussion threads until you land a job or lending an ear in Twitter DMs for you to just scream into the void as needed, I’ll be happy to help. I’m currently in a bit of a funk, but that’s probably cos I’m spending too much time in front of a screen (playing TBC Classic, I admit) as opposed to being away from home working.
Anyway…CHARLIE NINER ON THE GROUND! Repeat, a snowman’s head has been seen flying over Houston!
An egregious Charlie Niner on Dallas’ attack ends up costing the Outlaws, and the Fuel are one map win away from advancing to take on the top dog Gladiators.
Maybe choose someone here to follow in your MVP footsteps.
Be an Overwatch MVP mentor. You may be in a position to comfortably step away from the forum while you pursue your higher goals.
Well that was a total bust to watch, tuned in towards the end.
This OWL meta has to be one of the WORST to watch in a long time.
Team fights with 3-5 DVa bombs every single fight, it’s very hard to keep track of and watch. Feels like nobody is doing anything impactful besides Echo.
What are you talking about?
This meta is difficult to play.
They make it look easy.
Try dodging all those Dva bombs with out getting caught by one of them.
I said that it’s one of the worst in a while to watch, with Echo on each side constantly duplicating DVa and tossing out bombs it’s so hard to keep track of the team fights.
You can tell from how they’re broadcasting it – more fights are from 3rd perspective then actually viewing anyone because everyone is just dodging Echo over and over again, there’s no real action.
Funny you say that, cos almost everyone in the Houston Outlaws fan discord is currently crapping on the Outlaws players. As of this writing, not only are fans attempting to tag the players (which, for obvious reasons, is against the rules), one of the moderators had to turn on slow mode on Discord in an attempt to control the toxicity…and probably still had to send a plea for help to the other mods to stop playing TBC Classic and help said mod moderate the Discord.
I have an uneasy feeling a good number of folks in the Outlaws fan discord will be muted by sundown tonight.
