inside our crystal ball, our players noticed a recent shift in the mist—the way it marbled its brilliant shades of amethyst, especially when idle, seemed… different. we reckoned some kind of omen was soon to pass…

we had been thinking about rebranding for a month-ish now to something that we felt would be meaningful to us & that would encompass the entirety of our team; the team members, our goals, our connection with each other, the good moments, the silly moments, and the tense moments.
this account will become an archive; everything we’ve done, our logo (drawn in-house by our límu), banner, members, results, and alumni, will all be memorialized here. i’ve created a new account (tagged in the first tweet of the thread) that we will use for the team here on out.
Ominous is a token of their achievements, one that i’m extremely honored to have been part of. when planning this rebrand, they asked for us to immortalize this brand to allow it to live on. so i will deliver!
needless to say, Ominous, from the very beginning, was an era of my comp career whereas i (toasty) wasn’t sure where it would take me. but i’d never ask for anything to change at all.

stripes founded this team and everything that happened was a direct result of them allowing
our silly asses onto the roster so we could have fun all playing a silly game that we like. they might not be on our roster anymore, but they’re still a close and lovely friend to us, and we could not have gotten this far without them.
thank u to our friends who came for the drip pic!! we love u 🤍
ang: winner winner chicken dinner!
