Overwatch 2 shuts down in China, leaving OWL teams in limbo

Overwatch 2 and other Blizzard titles have officially been taken offline in China after a failed contract extension with NetEase, leaving Overwatch League teams based there in limbo now that the game is unplayable in the country.

Most fans were made aware of the situation after the Chengdu Hunters posted a tweet today that simply said “Goodbye and see you again.” Five teams are affected by the shutdown, including the Hunters, the Guangzhou Charge, the Hangzhou Spark, the Shanghai Dragons, and the Los Angeles Valiant, who still has its base of operations in China.
