Overwatch League reportedly talking to other organizers as crucial owners vote nears
With so much doubt surrounding the future of the Overwatch League, those in charge have reportedly begun contacting third-party tournament organizers about next year—that is, if the OWL survives until next year with the looming end-of-year owners vote.
The OWL has been pursuing talks with both the ESL FACEIT Group and WDG Esports about organizing league competition, according to sources who spoke to GGRecon, with ESL FACEIT being considered for both North American and European competition while WDG would organize the Asia circuit. Before the inception of the OWL, ESL ran multiple competitive Overwatch events during the game’s early days.
