Blizzard has said in the past that the Overwatch League will be held. And this is not just talk, and now Blizzard is making it real.
The truth about the holding of this League was officially announced at the opening of BlizzCon 2022 4 November 2022 yesterday. At the opening, it was also explained that in the Overwatch League later, the players would represent their teams who were selected based on major cities.
Thus, the Overwatch League will become a professional sports league, where big cities are the basis for team organizations and this is not a private esports organization.
Not only that, Blizzard also promises salaries for players and manages the player transfer system during the off-season. And also Blizzard will conduct a selection of players to enter the major leagues.
Viewers will also get prizes in the form of merchandise and fantasy games from Blizzard
Blizzard will give merchandise and fantasy games for the audience, so they can participate in the excitement of this Overwatch League. This can be seen in the Overwatch League trailer video.
From all that has been told, Blizzard still hasn’t told where the Overwatch League will be held. Thus we will only assume that the league will only be held in the United States.
The Overwatch League is rumored to kick off in Q3 2022, sometime in July – August, and will run in full through spring and summer 2022.
