Overwatch League once again delays free agency period with little notice to stakeholders

Overwatch League fans are getting a healthy dose of bad news for the holidays. Multiple critical offseason dates have been pushed back so the league can deal with ongoing issues around Blizzard Entertainment’s broken partnership with NetEase, which allows its games to be distributed and played in mainland China.   

Sean Miller, head of the Overwatch League, informed fans today that the free agency period will now begin on Dec. 23, a whopping three weeks later than its intended start date of Dec. 2. The free agency period was already pushed back two weeks shortly after the NetEase news was publicly announced.
