Dont worry everyone.. When OW league comes out everyone will be making tones of money! LOLLL games comp scene is turning into mush.. with 2018 projected, and 2019 or later being a reality. Blizzard does nothing on time, and they dont have a good track record of launching anything with success. They polish over time and make things better. But who wants to throw away their life for 3 years while being left in the dark.

Sorry to hear the players didn't get a good sponsor and wasted their time. Moral of the story boys and girls, don't waste your time trying to get paid in OW as a pro. You'll make more at McDonald's and wont get ripped apart on reddit.

Play the game, enjoy it. Dont take it seriously.

There's a reason people want to play Overwatch instead of working at McDonalds.

Of COURSE the anti-OWL circlejerk comes here.

The fact is that the team hadn't been getting good results.

Still sad tho :(

#6 is either a Dafran fan or the biggest pessimist out there. Yes, blizzard hasn't announced much, and while that may be painstakingly annoying to you and all the pros, it's very likely that Blizzard has something great planned and will all turn out very well. They've obviously secured investors already, which means the only thing left is to get announcements going. Give it time, it'll all work out. The more pessimistic we are, the more the scene will die. If we stay optimistic and remain hopeful that Overwatch will turn out as a big eSport, then it's much more likely that OWL will be a success.

Or, he's just a Dafran fan and is throwing for him.

Announced much? what have they actually announced like? aye it's very likely they have something great planned since they have told us right? or wait, we are just guessing and hoping they do and not every big e-sport venture turns out "very well" so don't think this will based on the almost zero information you have thus far.

"obviously" secured investors yet that doesn't exactly mean they have an endless money pit, hell they might not even invest much at all who knows? the fact they are a franchise worth billions doesn't mean jack, AMD are worth millions yet pump 500 dollars into tournaments.

The more the scene will die, isn't it already dying? how many worldwide e-sports organizations do you know that exist inside OW? Enyvus and who else, all we see are teams dropping like flies yet how often do we see teams get picked up by big orgs?

I fail to see how OW can turn out to be a huge e-sport success, will 500k people suddenly crawl out of the woodwork when OWL stream matches? how many we getting now about 20k on a good day compared to games like CS and shit getting hundreds of thousands, do you honestly expect those numbers for OW? can't imagine the Miami Dolphins pumping millions into OWL for 50k people watching.

But hey let's just assume everything is going great and OWL will be the dogs' bollocks based on the zero information we have had thus far, last thing we want is to be pessimistic right, hopefully by the time OWL actually goes live there will be teams alive to join it, at this rate OWL better start quick.

If Blizzard plan on supporting OW for 5+ years then I can understand them taking their time. The competitive scene isn't dying, there was some amazing games in APEX and Contenders as well as in the Pacific championship if you're one of the few who watched it. I hope Blizzard doesn't leave it too long but I'd rather have something that isn't half baked. Plus Contenders looks like regular enough OW to keep most happy.

They were a non-supported team that did well but didnt make it into their next tourney.

Don't get me wrong I think blizzard is and will overmanage the comp scene but it has little to do with this. And the owl has promise simply based on the quality of the game it is based on. As long as blizzard develops the game well their pro-scene management skillz can get carried.
