Wisconsin considering to make state-wide sports betting legal

Posted by | Sep 17, 2019 |

The state of Wisconsin may be considering the legalization of sports betting within the state itself. Tyler Vorpagel, a representative in the state Senate has mentioned that keeping the activity illegal in the state is definitely not going to help achieve the goals of reducing the gambling habits of the population. The reason is that residents of the state of Wisconsin can always just travel to Iowa or nearby states with legalized sports betting activities and gamble there. This forces funds to be funneled outside of the state, thus decreasing the overall gross income per year. Vorpagel’s argument is...

With Stage 3 in full gear, the Boston Uprising look to earn what eluded them opening week – a win.

After a month long break to think about getting reverse swept by the lowly Washington Justice, the Uprising launch Stage 3 against the London Spitfire and Paris Eternal. One pretty great team and a fellow mid-tier team. What could go wrong? Turns out, everything.

What OWL could learn from the Uprising’s Collegiate Cup

What OWL could learn from the Uprising’s Collegiate Cup

Posted by | Apr 29, 2019 | ,

Boston Uprising’s second annual Collegiate Cup was held this past Sunday at the Back Bay Events Center in Boston. Defending champion Northeastern University found themselves in the semifinals along with Boston University, UMass Amherst, and Emerson College. A different type of venue, crowd, and competitors brought a different experience than the typical Overwatch League match. I think the league could learn from the good and bad that the college tournament showed. Good: Hype Videos While some Overwatch League matches have short vignettes that try to establish some personality to the players, I haven’t seen one that could hold the...

Admit it. Down 2-0 at halftime against both the London Spitfire and Vancouver Titans, you thought Boston could come back and reverse sweep. You thought there was some magic left down in the well. That the spark that lit the fire against Dallas, Atlanta, and Toronto was still burning. It’s ok, I did too.

You have to give it to the Uprising – they do everything they can to make it interesting. Because after opening Stage 2 with a pair of reverse sweeps (3rd in a row in stage play) the entire league is catching on to the interesting story of of the Uprising. A team whose GM will make any roster change he can to better the team, fans be damned. A team full of players perceived to be ‘unknown’ or ‘unproven’ or ‘inexperienced.’ And a group who never says die and can’t be counted out till the last fuse of overtime burns out.
