this actually marks the second time Giant X has been 13-0'd. the first was against NAVI in Stage 1 of 2025.

Ozymandias would be proud

All that remains of it now, is a soulless husk of what once was. And in ten years from now- hell, maybe even 5- people will move on to something new.

They'll remember this game as it once was before, all the way back in Overwatch 1: reliving the rapidly declining "Glory Days"

This game used to have actual passion behind it. This game used to be something that people could be excited for whenever a new hero or a new map gets released. This game used to have one of the biggest followings in the world.

This game used to be special.

All this game is known for now, is being a corporate-filled hero-shooter with empty promises during its development. What once inspired many hero shooters to follow in its footsteps, has now become something to avoid- many people nowadays see hero-shooters as oversaturated.

Hell, the most damning thing about this game isn't the fact that Bobby Kotick, former CEO of Activision Blizzard, was confirmed to be in the damn Epstein files- and not a damn thing has done about it.

The worst thing about Overwatch- it's not "Overwatch" anymore.

It wasn't the content creators that built their following by whining and complaining about the game until they got what they wanted.

It wasn't Pharah's voice actor publicly supporting a genocide, and the official account ignoring calls for a recast this whole time.

Somehow, the most damming thing about this game isn't the community being so toxic it puts the League of Legends in a better light.

It isn't the decline of the Overwatch League before Overwatch 2 released, and how some teams just outright couldn't participate in its later years.

Where's the consistent PVE mode we were promised? Why is the lore no longer consistent with the original "No Magic" rule (was willing to handwave Kiriko, but Illari/Juno/Wuyang breaks it entirely)? Why remove lootboxes if you were just going to add them back in later?

Here's to Week 2.

All other regions are starting this week. EMEA just wrapped up Upper Round 1, and PAC/CN just started. We'll have full stats soon for Week 1 of all regions soon enough.

If we're talking about Upper Round 1 between NA and EMEA, the strongest team (statistically) is Team Vitality with a score of 33.

I expected FURIA to win against a KRU team that wasn't at full strength. But against Sentinels? 2-0? With a 13-5 win on Split? That definitely threw me for a loop, considering their miserable track record in 2025.

Coincidentally, that also makes Sentinels the worst team so far, with a score of -14.

This ELO does NOT affect player performance, and is solely for adjusting teams and their seeding/placement for the other pages (hence why all of the other pages are blank).

For NA, the current leading team is... FURIA. With a positive ELO score of 31. Somehow.

That's about it. You'll most likely see me talking about the Valorant Champions Tour for a while, since that's my big focus for this year.

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions, or if you need help with finding observers for any multiplayer game- I'm available for work.

Cheers!

I set up a temporary website for myself, in an attempt to try and distance myself from this website. Because let's be real: the other website's imploding... basically tomorrow.

It's a Google Sites webpage, and I'll make a proper one in the future.

I'm familiar with observing VALORANT, Overwatch, League of Legends, Deadlock, and a bit more than that.

I'm also very familiar with video editing and have made a montage of the 2022 Overwatch League season in the past.

My plans this year are a new montage for VCT and potentially streaming more.
