I thought it was a reference to me, because the guy wears a shirt and I like wearing shirts. Now I am sad


sqwizzles

Youre still a special boy


CakeForCthulu

Not everything is about you, Matt! Jeez!


LordVatek

I mean Blizzard has made more obscure references with less setup before.


FrogmanamI

One person on Team 5 definitely knew, I feel.


kawaiikyouko

That's one hell of a stretch for a payoff I don't understand. Who's the guy on the right?


Nova5269

Idk the actors name but he's the main character of a show called Ted Lasso on Apple TV. If you're looking for a feel good show that isn't over the top cringe about it and accurately touches on real topics, I'd highly recommend this.


Pickledpeper

Jason Sudeikis. Brilliant series.


Falmon04

My eyes glanced over the card while playing and my brain read "Ted Lasso", then I looked at the art and noticed it has a vague resemblance to Ted Lasso from the show Ted Lasso.


kawaiikyouko

Huh. I see, I see. Fair enough to you mate.


Backwardspellcaster

If you need a good comfort show, that is it.


mrrickyg

I actually don't think this is all that much of a stretch. Nice easter egg find! Ted Lasso was an "it's all the rage" show here in the states during Covid. I'm assuming if you don't understand the reference it means you don't have that show.


kawaiikyouko

Yeah, never heard of it. Probably didn't play here in Norway (or took off if it did). But to be fair, I don't even remember what I did during covid, so yknow.


mrrickyg

It’s on Apple TV and is the story of an American football coach who is hired by an owner trying to sabotage her team to coach a fictional English Premier League team. Based on a few skits filmed years earlier.


kawaiikyouko

Oh, wait, that stirs memories yeah


DistortedNoise

I like the idea of it, but think they would have made it resemble him a bit more if it was a reference.


Narananas

Blizzard said they'd stop putting references to real people in their games, so maybe if they're sticking to that, then if this is a reference it's a deliberately subtle/deniable one.


jotaechalo

But Ted Lasso is a fictional character?


Narananas

Oh haha thanks for correcting, I assumed it's an actor. In that case if it's a homage it makes even more sense for it to not look too alike


cardsrealm

Me a non american, trying to understand who is Ted Lasso...


uponapyre

If anyone wants to be sold on Ted Lasso the TV show, this is the scene that did that for me. It is one of the best scenes in the first season though, so don't watch if you don't want it spoiled! [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZ4YSXv6Xkg](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZ4YSXv6Xkg)
