The Overwatch League is the first major global professional esports league with city-based teams across Asia, Europe, and North America, so yeah; it's kind of a big deal. Created by Blizzard, Overwatch was built from the ground up for online competition, and features over the top characters and fast-paced action and their Overwatch League just got its first champion in the London Spitfire. For the 2019 season, they've just added a little more competition with two more teams, Atlanta and Guangzhou.
“We know Atlanta and Guangzhou have deeply engaged fan communities and we can’t wait to unveil their teams,” said Nate Nanzer, commissioner of the Overwatch League. “As the league continues to grow, we’re looking forward to seeing more talented pros in action as more roster spots open up.”
Further details about official names, marks, and rosters for Atlanta and Guangzhou will be announced soon by each team in conjunction with the Overwatch League. Information about other new Overwatch League teams and the 2019 season schedule will be released at a later date.
