Is anyone else concerned what this will do to Overwatch? I assume those are US dates, but I really wish they were EU. So 6 months at minimum or a whole year? What the hell is Blizzard thinking if they want to establish this game as an esports title.
I otherwise wouldn't care but I've heard that Blizz is in talks with multiple organisations like Faceit, Dreamhack and all these big names to get tournaments going.
So what this means is that we're gonna circlejerk for a whole year in a beta environment, get a few decent size new streamers like Seagull and then the game will die. Or well not die but a very limited scene like in HoTS.
Please someone with contacts to Blizzard assure me that this game will be open beta by the end of this year.
