Fun fact: the 4 teams with the worst records in the inaugural season all managed to turn it around win the league before the end.

I haven’t watched OWL in 2 years, but man the prime of 17-19 was absolutely some of the most amazing esports we’ve ever seen. So many great personalities, so many iconic moments, so much joy. Thank you OWL, you will undoubtedly be missed.

"Alarm was here" gets me every time.

Ah yes Rhyujeong, Pine and Jjonak...the golden time of OWL

Dont be sad because its over, be happy because it happened ggs OWL

FUCK man as soon as the montage ended and I didn't see tributes to Alarm & Internethulk I knew it was coming and I still cried 😭

Soe's speech at the end is just so well spoken, touching, perfect 😭✨

its actually impossible for me to not start tearing up when i hear soe's speech. its just pure emotion man ...

Man I miss Bren and Josh being part of the broadcast

That speech hits different when you've played the game since alpha 😥

One of my biggest regrets in video gaming is starting to play OW in late 2019 in S18... Missed all of OWL S1 & 2 and GOATS I was a TF2 fanboy that didn't want to give it a shot. S1 of OWL clips always look so damn fun. Also, damn that ending... I've heard Soe's speech at least 5 times and I have teared up every single time. Through OW's many high and MANY lows, it has been apart of my life for almost 4 years from which I have made many friends through the competitive scene. Thanks for the good times OWL

What made me fall in love with OWL was the first game between Seoul Dynasty and Dallas Fuel and seeing the level of coordination. The map was Temple of Anubis and Dallas was defending point A. They showed a over the top view of the fight and Seoul surrounds Dallas and then sudden collapses of them from all sides obliterating them. It was the first time I've seen that level of coordination. Didn't miss a game after that. And was able to go to the Inaugural Grand Championship in New York with my friends. It was a blast

These are some of the most iconic moments in Overwatch League's history! Hope you guys enjoyed it & big thanks to the Overwatch League Team and everyone involved for all the amazing memories.❤

I watched the league since Season 1 match 1, I remember watching the first Grand Finals on ABC when I still had cable. Life moves fast, sad to see things you love so much turn to dust. I hope OWL comes back in any fashion, I love competitive esports and I have so much hope for this game and the future. GGs bros, heres to the world cup🍾

I can remember when you had the weekly highlight reels for OWL back in 2018 -- they were such a joy to watch!!

Seeing past players / talent that I've forgotten, brings all the feels. What a ride!

This was an amazing video. Funny and hype moments, then each of the finals moments. Then the tributes to those who passed.. then Soe's speech You put this together so well!

This video had me reminiscing all the times I sat and watched/played this game with my friends, just for all the tears to flood out right at the end. This game has opened up so many routes in my life and working directly with Blizzard for a couple of events was some of the best times I've ever had. This game continues to amaze me and I owe so much to its creation. Soe's speech will forever live in my mind ♥

Man I remember back during S1 becoming a Mayhem fan in part due to the funny walk outs but also just how charismatic the team was especially Cwoosh. Felt like a dream watching the lads make the finals and then winning it all.

One of the moments that always gets to me is when alarm starts talking. I watched him during contenders and how he slapped the other teams and won back to back championships in contenders. He wasn't in the owl for too long but to me and to many other people he was definitely the best support we've ever seen. The stuff he could do as a support was like nothing anyone else could do, not even the new generation supports could do the same. I miss seeing him play and I hope his family is doing well, RIP alarm you will always be missed.

All memes aside, I'm really sad it's over. OWL gave me soooo many great games to watch, so much energy from players and fans. Hoping for the best for all teams, players, coaches and all other staff

Thank you for all the memories owl!! I have made so many fun memories over these 6 years and I will cherish them forever.

That pine clip really got me in the feels

This video made me cry. Sid’s speech was a perfect farewell. Goodness was wild to see shock win 2 and be in finals 3 times!!! Congratulations London, Shock, Dragons, Dallas, Mayhem! I hope in the new format Overwatch 2 gets back in track.

The fact that you see Violet in 4 grand finals in his 5 seasons of the league is just insane. By far the GOAT

Surefour staying on Brig and then switching to Widow right when his team went in was a stroke of utter brilliance Not to mention taking out their widow first so he was totally uncontested So good

Never practice, no plan. :)

I stopped watching OWL 2 years ago and without your video I would never have had the chance to hear Soe's emotionnal speech. Thank you for that and thank you OWL for the memories ♥

The 2017-19 years were by far the best times I had watching an esport, it’s impossible for me to express my full thoughts and feelings I experienced during those years in a KZfaq comment, SO many amazing memories from player vlogs, content involving the players, THE MEMES, the Comm checks, streams, the hype storylines, it felt like a tv show with each team having different qualities and the different personalities on each team made every day so exciting and interesting. I am proud to have been a part of this wonderful journey from the very start to the very finish. Thank you Overwatch League for everything. ❤️

Been following the league since day one, and I was fortunate enough that I was able to go to Grand Finals in Toronto this year. While it may not have been the biggest or most intense Grand Finals, it was by far the most emotional. Everyone there kinda knew it was likely to be the last one, but dammit we made the most of it. This Grand Finals felt like one last hurrah, one more trip 'round the sun. Soe's speech summed it up perfectly just how all of us felt. It was a dream and I'm glad I got to be there to witness it. Getting to see one of my all time favourite players turned caster Custa (he even signed my old-school Valiant colour scheme shoe), being able to meet so many people from the Toronto Defiant and the other teams that made it to Finals, and all the amazing people from Discord servers that travelled from all over the world to come support their teams. We've all made lots of friends along the way and I'm glad I got to meet all these amazing people before it has inevitably come to an end.

man soe's speech at the end got a few tears out of me. i didnt even start following owl again until the 2023 season

Seagull is my all-time favorite overwatch player. Seems like such a good dude and his early game genji play was phenomenal.

Honestly can we talk about the cameraman in game for all this? Idk how it works but they get most of the fights pretty well.

Overwatch 1 was such a great game ! I remember watching the OW League during class, when it was boring... good memories, and a beautiful era

God damn, the memories are flooding in. I still can't believe it's over, man

What a compilation, every incredible moment that I can recall was in it. GGs!

I got tears in my eyes when the championship recap started with all the losses (RIP to the legends.) and the ending speech from soe😭😭 Great video man. This did a number on me :

Absolutely brilliant video. Well done

what a great video, really covered it all, thank you owl

Thank you all, fans, players, teams and so many people behind the cams and around the World… thank you for all the memories I had with all of us I will NEVER forget it ❤️

Man I forgot how good the OWL was. Bren, sideshow, monte and doa, surefour, xqc, dafran… those were the golden days of overwatch

Gone but never forgotten ❤

It's such a throwback to see those team rosters!

Thanks OWL for the great memories. I will never forget how many times I looked back at the players I admired that day every time they made a super play, now and forever.

Ive missed the first couple of years of overwatch league. But I still cry just like everyone else and watch this video of the people we've lost (RIP ALARM & INTERNETHULK) It's just hard to not cry at the end during Soe's speech. Thank you overwatch league and the community for giving me precious memories these last 4 years... Hope y'all have a great time ahead

Thank you for compiling this

It's crazy I still remember all of these plays...gone were the days man

This video is full of so much nostalgia. While the Overwatch League wasn't necessarily the best idea for Overwatch Esports, it brought so many fun times and memories.

they deserved better

With that announcement yesterday I feel owl will still be around but different than the last 6 years so this is an end to this era of OWL

It's sad to see just how quickly the venue sizes for these events shrunk. From the 2018-2023 finals it had to have quartered in size maybe more. Never have I seen something explode like OW Esports and than burn out just as quickly.

So great to see all these great players. Good times and happy memories. GGs everyone.

This era of OWL was amazing was for me, this video made me tear up from all the great moments. Love it

Thanks for the memories.

I've been with competitive overwatch since Apex, since the very first day of OWL all the way til the end. I'll never forget it and will always hold it so dear to my heart. Soe's speech really touched me and made me have tears in my eyes. Against all odds, I'm still hoping that maybe it'll continue. Thank you OWL

Bro those years in the burbank arena were peak. Live matches every weekend and incredible vibes. What a time.

This actually made me tear up. Season 1 and 2 were peak for me when I was able to follow every single match even when at work.

I can't tell if it's BC I'm high or this is really just emotional but I'm crying just bc of the nostalgia, I remember all of these as they were happening and big news at the time

I remember in 2016-17 I was eating out at buffalo wild wings and saw OWL being live streamed on all the TV’s. I was immediately hooked and I found out the name of the game and ever since then it’s been my favorite. I was also young at the time so watching OWL was like the coolest thing ever and it stuck with me. I always dreamed about being apart of OWL one day.

Thank you for making this video

I loved this video, brought back so many memories.

Ooh, that first Dragons match win still gives me chills to watch all over again.

Nostalgia is the best. Thank you Overwatch League

Man, I will miss this so much

This will forever be one of my favourite videos ever.

missed a lot of recent desk moments and recent crazy plays but a nice collection, nonetheless. Thanks for posting.

This just reminds me of how iconic season 1 Dallas fuel was XQC, Seagull, and Mickey

Thx Owl for everything, watched the first game ever played and the last one every played, will never forget the moment when Spitfire won the championship🧡💙🧡

I hardly watched OWL the last two years, but was so invested before that. Sad to see it go. Alot of great memories.

Thanks OWL and everybody apart of it for all the great memories, o7

So many emotions from great nostalgia from the memories to sadness for those we lost along the way. Thank you for uploading!

The amount of nerdiness in this video is just wholesome 😅 Whoever thought it would be a great idea to do live games with guys playing videogames 24/7 was absolutely right 😅

I watched most of that happen live. So fun watching those games.

such emotions! I remember watching the OWL when I was 14 and now im 20. what an adventure hope the best to yall❤

as a player since the OW beta. I appreciate this video greatly. brought tears to my eyes.

Missed this , players are actually having fun

It’s so cool to see X and Dafran being the fun players we knew and not the drama content farms they’ve become

Sad to see it now. Was Crazy happy during season 2-3 (Dragons fan.) Will miss it for "what it could have been".

Was hoping to watch the game where they had like a 40 minute technical delay for a map 4 with the Dallas Fuel. I forgot who was playing, but they had the entire post match discussion with the desk and arrow contest with dollar store arrows because they couldn't play it on Overwatch. Than after all of that, they finally finished the 4th map of the match. Great video though, and loved seeing all the clips.

Great video mate!

It is really amazing. Ever since the season 1 finals, seasons 2-6 were won by a bottom 4 team of season 1. Shock season 1 was 9/12, won grand finals twice. Shanghai 12/12, won 1. Fuel: 10/12, won 1. And Mayhem 11/12, won one.

i miss ovw 1

That massive flank with widow swap @3:45 I remember still, every time I laugh, that's WILD

gonna miss this fr

2:35, what a great timing by Mickie to stun so OGE lands a free shatter

every championship moment with Uber made it a unique finish. thank you Overwatch League. it's been a very nice many years since 2018

Great vid. But i really wasnt prepared for the last 4 minutes

End of an era ♥

Man I miss Jayne

Memories never die.

Rip the OG OW. Rip all those maps and the good ole days

A truley legend XQC who the reasons why I started Ow and now I'm gm1 always in our heart burn blue 💙

Nah Soe’s speech at the end almost brought me to tears

The Great Bamboozle is still one of the most amazing things I've ever seen in esports, period.

Most crowd pumped moment I’d say is when Roar on Washington justice hit a HUGE shatter and Bren was freaking out, they lost the match unfortunately but it was still such a good moment of OWL in my opinion

Oh god InternetHulk-still sorely missed-as is the legend that is TotalBiscuit. And that ssegment for Alarm just broke my heart. I've watched OWL since it started through to the end, and even though the higher ups did screw up after screw up-I still enjoyed watching it, and it was an absolute rollercoaster with so many amazing moments and the casting was S Tier from Sideshow and Bren, through to Jake and everyone else. I'll be here waiting for it's return. Until then-thank you OWL for the past 6 years. o7

I remember each of these moments live :( I miss OWL already

Do not cry. Do not cry. Do not...

if you make a part two, please put in Diya's MVP for the game Shanghai lost (i think to dallas, cause they had EFFECT).

Great video. Thank you.
