What is the Overwatch League?

The Overwatch League is an esports league created and run by Blizzard Entertainment that will showcase Overwatch, its popular first-person shooter. The inaugural season will feature 12 teams, each of which paid $20 million for a franchise spot. Each team will represent a city with all teams playing the first season in Los Angeles. Future seasons will see home and away games for which teams will travel to compete against one another in the cities they represent, similar to a traditional sport.

Minimum player salaries are $50,000 with a one-year minimum and a second-year option, and teams are required to provide players with housing, health insurance, retirement options and more.

The preseason starts on Dec. 6 and runs until Dec. 9. The regular season launches Jan. 10, 2018, and runs until July. The total prize pool is $3.5 million, with the Season 1 champion taking home $1 million.

Structure and format

12 teams, two divisions of six: Atlantic and Pacific

Matches take place Wednesday through Saturday

Four stages in the regular season; each stage is five weeks long

Each match will be four-map sets

• At the end of each stage will be a title match between the top three teams, regardless of division, for a bonus of $125,000

The No. 1 team from each division advances to the playoffs in July

The top four remaining teams between both divisions also advance to the playoffs, creating a six-team playoff bracket

All regular-season matches will take place at the Blizzard Arena Los Angeles in Burbank, California.

Division: Atlantic

Owned by: The Kraft Group

Quick fact: This is the first group to buy in to the OWL

Robert Kraft, his son Jonathan, and the Kraft Group -- collectively the ownership of the New England Patriots and Revolution -- were the first buyers in the Overwatch League. Robert and Jonathan attended BlizzCon in November 2016 and watched the first Overwatch World Cup alongside Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick, who led the charge in the recruitment of the league. The Krafts were the start of a snowball to help recruit other prospective buyers, sources told ESPN. The Kraft Group acquired the Boston spot in the league, continuing to add to its New England portfolio of sports.

This set the groundwork for the geolocation push with a Miami-Orlando spot in the Overwatch League.

The team acquired investment in its seed round in 2017, with backers like Football Hall of Famer Joe Montana, Golden State Warriors co-owner Chamath Palihapitiya and Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian. The London slot expands into markets across the majority of England, something Cloud9 CEO Jack Etienne says he's excited about when looking at increasing his international foothold.
