Overwatch League: We ask Blizzard our biggest questions
We're about halfway through the first season of the Overwatch League and yesterday I was able to watch a few games in person at the Blizzard Arena in Los Angeles. Blizzard has always been a major player in the world of esports, but the Overwatch League, with its franchises and its plans for permanent stadiums in major cities around the world, feels different.
Yesterday felt particularly important for a couple of reasons. It saw Jeff Kaplan turn up at halftime to announce an upcoming PvE mission called Retribution and Kim "Geguri" Se-yeon made her debut for the Shanghai Dragons, marking her as the first woman to play in the Overwatch League. Plenty of people were watching.
And so, it felt like a good time to talk to the man running the whole thing: Nate Nanzer, the Overwatch League Commissioner. I only had a few minutes to chat with him, as the Los Angeles Valiant were busy trouncing Seoul Dynasty 4-0, but there was plenty to talk about.
