OWL May Melee and Castlevania
May. 14th, 2021 08:50 pmI did a write up of the last couple of the last games of the May Melee, but the whole issue with the Chinese teams trying to boycott Saebyolbe because he supported Taiwan and Hong Kong put a major damper on my enthusiasm. It just made me fucking depressed. The League seems to have stepped in and made the teams back off but I think damage has already been done. At the very least I just can't root for Guangzhou anymore. Like thanks for reminding me no Chinese company is immune from the CCP influence.
So now I'm teamless I guess, which isn't really an issue for me. I never really understood team loyalty anyway.
And I'm sadly relieved that a Chinese team didn't win, which is a stupid thing because the Dragons roster has no Chinese players! The players are working hard and probably are sympathetic to Saebyolbe but the stupid outrage has done its job and no one is going to say anything. So yeah, even though I did watch the games I don't really feel like going over them. I'll probably get back to it when the next stage starts.
Meanwhile I sat down and watched Castlevania's most recent season over the past two days and enjoyed it. It was basically more of the same imo, and went by very fast, but the ending was satisfying enough, which was what I was worried about mostly.
