A tweet published today implied that 16 cities from around the world were pegged to compete in Blizzard's Overwatch League, but the list was quickly revealed to be hypothetical.

Los Angeles, New York, Boston, Washington, D.C., Dallas, San Francisco, Seattle, Chicago, Miami, Paris, Frankfurt, London, Shanghai, Toronto, Seoul and Mexico City were listed as cities that could potentially be a part in the Overwatch League as part of a presentation by Overwatch league commissioner Nate Nanzer during Leaders' Sports Business Summit in New York.

The Twitter user Mark J. Burns followed this up with another tweet about 40 minutes later clarifying that the image above was not an official reveal, just hypothetical.

A spokesperson for Blizzard confirmed that the 16 cities listed are just examples and the Overwatch League has not announced any cities today.

"The logos and team examples shown at the Leaders Summit were for illustrative purposes only and are not the League's actual teams," they said. "That's noted on the bottom of the full slide."

.@natenanzer to me regarding image from slide ... was just illustration of what @PlayOverwatch league COULD look like. Image not real. — Mark J. Burns (@markjburns88) March 22, 2017

Overwatch League is the first esports league to mimic the structure of traditional sports leagues like the NFL or NBA where franchises are tied to cities. According to Sports Business Daily, each spot in the Overwatch League costs roughly $2 million, which was confirmed by ESPN.

At this time, there is no information about any participating cities, team rosters or schedules.
