Overwatch League Cancels March, April Homestands Events

The Overwatch League, the e-sports league run by Santa Monica-based Activision Blizzard, says it is cancelling all of its Homestands events scheduled for March and April. The league said that the health and safety of employees, fans, players, teams, and partners is "paramount" to Activision Blizzard Esports, and after careful review and collaboration with teams, it has cancelled all Overwatch League Homestands events for those months. The Overwatch League's Homestands events had allowed players to attend "home" and "guest" e-sports events much like traditional sporting events; those events would include both fans within home venues as well as broadcast events.
