My first full season in the Overwatch League has come to an end, and I can’t succinctly sum it up. The season was disappointing in many ways. We didn’t travel the world. We didn’t host homestands. We didn’t hear roaring crowds every weekend or meet scores of fans. We didn’t win many games.

I finished my first full week in Hong Kong by snagging a camera and heading to Lantau Island, the largest of the 200+ islands that make up Hong Kong. It turned out to be a great way to cap off my free time before classes started.
Yeah, you read that right: this week, I was in my first vehicle crash. No worries, it could’ve been much worse. We all walked away uninjured, but chances are if you saw the headline, it grabbed your attention, right?
