The OWL 2023 season schedule is out—but it’s missing one team
After its fifth season wrapped in Nov. 2022, the Overwatch League is finally back for 2023 and will kick off in late April—but there’s a glaring omission among the teams.
The Chengdu Hunters were not included in the OWL’s April 18 schedule announcement, with Blizzard’s competition organizers citing that the franchise was “contemplating the future direction of their team.” This is a first for the league, whereby a team has all but withdrawn from competition ahead of a season launch.
