Since it was announced, the Overwatch League has been met with more than a little cynicism and apprehension online. Questions of whether Overwatch was the right fit as an esport, of whether Blizzard have the right sort of outlook on it, and more were raised in the many months of drip-fed rumours and news.

Now that the Overwatch League has started, it’s clear that, for the average person who plays Overwatch, it is everything they could have wanted. Anyone with even a passing interest in esports will enjoy it, even if it may never meet the exaggerated expectations a year of hype created.

But beneath that veneer, there are some questions that need answering. Since the Overwatch League started, a number of sites have criticised the lack of diversity in the league (despite not being a gender-segregated league, all players are male, at time of writing) and one player has already been on the end of a suspension for making homophobic comments.

But the questions stretch even further than that. The rules and code of conduct for the Overwatch League have not been made public as yet, policies on doping in what is a professional sports league aren’t set in stone, and players are, reportedly, practicing for over 12 hours a day.
