Activision Blizzard’s eSports League Is One Step Closer to Becoming Like Traditional Sports

Activision Blizzard’s Overwatch esports venture is one step closer to becoming a traditional sports league.

Last year the video game maker launched the Overwatch League – a competitive esports league based on their Overwatch game – and today the company announced that next year each team will host at least two weekends of competitive games in their respective markets. This mirrors the home/away game schedule of traditional sports teams, and is another step in Activision Blizzard’s goal to bring a traditional sports league structure to the esports industry.
