In this very special episode of the MEKAcast, Ashton and Eric meet, IN PERSON, to discuss stage 2, week 2 of OWL 2018, which proved to be one of the more disappointing weeks of the season thus far. We also talk Effect's half-time mechanics practice, all the buff's in last week's major patch (welcome back to the meta, Sombra!), and Overwatch's latest hero, Brigitte Lindholm!
