Bro should monetize his video, very much deserved. Everything is licensed and credited correctly and he deserves all the success that comes with it. Thank you for blessing us with this tribute, OWL will always be the one thing that makes me cry and I love it so much

[LEGDAY]

This is my life, and your work brings it a humanity that simply watching never could. To watch this is to live what we lived.

[ghma]

Watching this at least once every two weeks and it always brings out a few tears. Such incredible work

[harleyyyyy]

oh my god this was made by an independant group. this is one of the most impressive videos i have ever seen, owl was a component of the many things i grew up alongside, amazing and thank you

[RYZXENTERTAINMENTMEDIAGROUP]

Honestly feels near ESPN/NFL films quality. This is easily one of my all time favourite films I've watched on YouTube.

The editing is great, but some of the shot compositions were even better. There was one moment of Primal Rage Winston flying around that you did in a single shot, no cuts, that was really awesome.

Fantastic work!

[hoihoisado]

Thanks Rydarus and everyone involved for everything

[icarusobs]

OWL got me started in esports. It got me into Obsing. It taught me lessons I'll never forget.

OWL will always hold a special place in my heart.

Thank you for this, and thank you all for everything. <3

[TheKenyanKid]

"your masters of mischief now stand as monarchs, kings for all time" is truly beautiful commentating.

OWL got me into esports as, excluding halo, I never been deeply into a game with such an alive professional competitive environment.

And that instantly drove me to the love of good casting talent, even now I have favorites I tune in to hear on valorant (spoilers: its Bren and Sideshow who I was introduced to in OWL!). OWL truly had an enjoyable team of knowledgeable casters that clearly loved the game even more than I did, seeing as I havent played or kept up in months. That's a line that will absolutely stick.

I hope the entire team has their talent recognized in every game they decide to branch out to or return to

[radish]

Soe had me in tears when I watched it live, still hits me in the feels now.

[dankeykang]

We may debate the GOAT of Overwatch but there is no debate that Rydarus is the GOAT of edits. Chills.

[gedster]

In 2018, the Overwatch League helped me fall in love with esports.
In 2021, it inspired me to start casting.
In 2023, it left.
My heart is broken, but I wouldn't trade the nights I stayed up for APAC matches, the Map 7 heartbreaks, or the painful reverse sweeps for anything.
OWL made me whole again after I lost a large part of myself, as corny as it sounds, and I'm delighted to have experienced this era of Overwatch esports.
Whatever comes next, I'll be there. Watching, casting, laughing, cheering, crying, whatever.

Thank you for this video.
❤

[Blanabaman]

Those last moments of owl had me in tears

[henrytheninth]

Thank you, OWL. I don't really want to say goodbye to you

[tekugen]

No better person to make a video like this. What a beautiful send-off.

[aksen]

this is a work of art.

i really should stop watching Soe's sendoff speech, it gets me every damn time.

[pompidoudog]

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for this.

[CameraManMK]

incredible cinematography. the storytelling was immaculate. a perfect send off for owl 🔥🔥🔥

[ObsSojourn]

Thank you for putting together such a beautifully crafted piece that I can always look back to, cherish, and cry to when I think about all OWL has given to me.

OWL filled me life and a love for esports. OWL gave my life direction, a dream, and a dream fulfilled by being a part of the production team. These years, I will never forget. Not ever.

[CeeBeeChan]

Getting to be there live meant everything to me, and now getting to relive it in this way.... Surely someone is cutting onions in here rn 😭

[seeker_ky]

Not only the phenomenal 6 years of owl, But the 7 years ive been playing the game, Will forever be a cherished memory in my life, What a truly splendid ending to owl, And what an amazing video to watch.
