In Episode 5, Ramses and Lobosco discuss the Chengdu Hunters’ recent fine of player YangXiaoLong following inappropriate comments made on his stream, as well as the recent trade of San Francisco Shock flex support Sleepy to the Washington Justice. They break down what this move means for the Justice, and the potential identity growth on the team’s horizon.
Next, the hosts cover the Atlanta Reign’s roller coaster of a week, which featured a 3 – 1 victory over NYXL and a 1 – 3 loss to the Guangzhou Charge.

The boys wrap up by discussing the recent banter and trash talk between OWL teams and include their favorite examples (including some more “bizarre” entries.)
