The Overwatch League has been busy in its off-season, announcing eight new teams that will join the competition when it starts back up again in January. Like the 12 that came before them, each will bear the name of a city: Paris, Guangzhou, Vancouver, and so on. But, for now, they’ll continue to play entirely from Blizzard’s arena in Burbank, California, with no real connection to the places they’re named for.
The League wants to change that by 2020, shifting to a travelling format that will see each team play genuine home and away games. But there’s been little word on what progress is being made towards that goal, and a lot of questions remain about its basic viability. Still, having attended the Paris stage of the Overwatch World Cup, I finally understand why it’s a goal at all.
