“We have been exploring the esports market for a number of years and have been waiting for the right opportunity to enter,” said Robert Kraft in the press release. “The incredible global success of Overwatch since its launch, coupled with the League’s meticulous focus on a structure and strategy that clearly represents the future of esports made this the obvious entry point for the Kraft Group.”

Other markets that have also been brought into the Overwatch League include, New York, Los Angeles, Miami-Orlando, San Francisco, Shanghai and Seoul.

The buy-in price for the Los Angeles Immortals and San Francisco NRG teams were reportedly $20 million per spot, so it seems likely that Kraft's investment into the league -- while not disclosed -- could be a similar number.

Overwatch is a first person shooter game from Blizzard Entertainment who are also known for World of Warcraft and many more hit games. This game launched in 2016 and has accumulated over 30 million players across the world.
