Aluramore and Howleir are back, and they're late, after an adjusted weekend schedule of #OWL2020. Torbjorn meta wasn't on our "BINGO!" cards, but regional metas are as fun as we'd hoped! The impact of Hero Pools is stronger than we thought, and the schedule is still in flux as North America based teams of Korean players move around. Follow COWL Fans on Socials!
