Overwatch League Tosses In The Towel, And Shifts Fullly Online

The Overwatch League, the e-sports league run by Blizzard Entertainment based on its popular game, has decided to shift to an entirely online format, in light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The move--not a surprise--will move all of the League's events from weeks 14-27 to a "fully online" competition and broadcast format. The League said it will make a decision later about playoffs and its Grand Finals. According to the Overwatch League, its players, teams, staff and production personnel may continue to compete and work from locations of their choosing, safely—without any fan attendance, travel, or unnecessary interpersonal contact—and in accordance with current health and safety recommendations and governmental mandates.
