The Overwatch League isn’t dead (yet), but pros and caster are already getting nostalgic
Activision Blizzard’s Q2 financial report released this morning revealed that the Overwatch League’s days might be numbered. The company disclosed it would pay teams a $6 million termination fee after this season if they no longer wish to be a part of the league following a vote on upcoming amended terms.
The announcement doesn’t necessarily mean that the heavily hyped-up league that started operations in 2017 will cease to exist, but it certainly won’t be everything that the league’s high-profile investors initially thought it would be. And professional Overwatch players, both current and former, have already started to share nostalgic sentiments on social media.
