The Overwatch League Casters leaving in droves has made for some drama and controversy as the OWL commissioner says OWL made the decision to let them go whereas multiple sources cite unsatisfactory or "undesirable" compensation. Dafran calls out the departing casters as overrated and has small scuffle with Malik on Twitter. In other news, there will be hot fixes for 1.44 bugs next week, Brigitte gets a GOATS skin for OWL S3 kickoff and Jake goes on a Hero Ban rant (so I don't have to!).

Monte Calls out OWL commissioner
So now Pete Vlastelica is just lying.
All the casters who left OWL had been asked to return to the League, so it wasn’t “the property’s decision” as he suggests here.https://t.co/yIBBodVtb3

Imagine being so insecure as a commissioner that you need to take an interview to lie and announce an announcement.
If you are confident in your product you just say nothing and then announce your deals when you sign.
Pathetic.

Semmler Leaves OWL
I will not be returning to cast full-time at @overwatchleague. The hard part is putting a 2 year partnership on hold. Thanks to @hexagrams for having my back in all things. Too many in the crew to thank, you know who you are. Best of luck with the homestands! Time to GET AFTER IT pic.twitter.com/TConzA6r7u
