Overview[]
The Morning Lobbies, also referred to as the Hafu Lobbies, were morning Among Us lobbies primarily organized by Hafu, usually occurring daily from 8am PST to 11am PST. After the decline of Among Us the lobbies occur with less frequency, but many of the regulars still play together as friends.
The four main regulars in the Morning Lobbies were Hafu, 5up, Steve Suptic, and Dakotaz (DK). The lobbies are best known in association with OfflineTV, but also have connections to the Dream SMP, EU streamers, and other variety streamers.
Although the Morning Lobbies has since dissolved, many of the members remained friends. Nowadays, Hafu reverts back to soloing games and 5up pursuing his Minecraft success and strengthening his presence in the DSMP demographic. "The Boys" (Steve, Dumbdog, Ellum, Koji) continue to play games together, usually seen playing UNO or Fall Guys. The quartet did make an appearance playing on an OTV-ran Crab Game lobby (most likely invited by 5up, who was already playing at the time).
Background[]
The Morning Lobbies gained popularity in early November 2020, with many of the now "regulars" actively playing at that time.
Hafu was known as the "mom" in the lobbies due to her leadership and coordination. Whenever Hafu was on break and after she eventually stopped playing Among Us, "substitute teacher" 5up usually took over the organizer role.
As streamers tired of Among Us, the Morning Lobbies moved towards Custom Valorant games and variety content, with Among Us/party mini-games played for a day or two.
On June 11, 2022, Hafu tweeted[1] the revival of the Morning Lobbies on June 15, 2022. Moreover, the day after Hafu's announcement, 5up participated in OTV's weekly "Sussy Sundays", most likely to gain experience playing the modpack. The 11 streamers that participated in the 1st revived Morning Lobbies are Hafu, 5up, Steve, DK, Dumbdog, Janet, Kimi, Koji, Ellum, SMajor, and Ovilee. Just like how "Sussy Sundays" is every Sunday, the Morning Lobbies occurs every Wednesday.
