On The Point

This episode was recorded on Monday, July 15th, 2019 (and uploaded within the week).  We talk about the last two weeks of Stage 3 and the Stage 3 finals, and boy is everything a DOOZY. Lots to talk about here, in terms of gameplay and also updates. Overwatch League is nothing if not crazy, y'all. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/onthepoint/support

Believe it or not, we recorded this episode literally an hour before Fissure announced his retirement. Go figure.   We're back after a long vacation, and boy has *everything* happened while we were gone! The Outlaws beat the Shock, the Valiant beat the Titans, Boston starts getting their mojo back, and Florida even scores a win! It's been a crazy few weeks, but we're here for it. Also, we want to know what your personal OWL MVP skins would look like - tell us in the comments! (Originally posted June 27, 2019.) --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/onthepoint/support

(This episode was recorded on 4/3/19.)  Let's talk Stage 1 Finals! The Seoul Dynasty definitely became bracket busters for a lot of people, but it turns out some of our bets were still on point - Force of Nature for the win! We've got an in-depth breakdown of the final Titans vs Shock match, as well as a rundown of the finals in general and a summary of the week's trades and roster moves. Also, so many jokes, and occasionally yelling at airplanes in the background. Join us for some good times! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/onthepoint/support

It's the Overwatch League Season 2 Stage 1 Week 5 recap!

We have good times with this game, y'all. (Originally released on March 21, 2019) --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/onthepoint/support
