Overwatch Season ends, and the future is uncertain
The Overwatch League may end after the 2023 season, after more than six years of thrilling competition.
In the aftermath of the Florida Mayhem sweeping the Boston Uprising at the Mattamy Athletic Centre to crown them the OWL 2023 champions came an unexpected realization that OWL will not last forever.
According to reports, this is because the owners of the org will need to determine whether to continue in the direction of their project or whether they’ll accept a six-million-dollar purchase from Blizzard to end their collaboration.
However, it isn’t a sign that Overwatch games have ended. Fans are waiting for the Overwatch World Cup. The Overwatch World Cup will end the year. There’s also the sharing of a positive message on OWL’s social media channels where they say they’ll explore a fresh concept for the revamped Overwatch, the esports league.
Is the Overwatch League coming back?
There is a likely not; Overwatch League, as we are aware, will not return. Despite that, the Overwatch League Twitter account shared the following message. Overwatch League’s Twitter page posted the message below.
No matter what the result of the discussion between the owners of the dogs and Blizzard, It’s evident that everyone working behind the scenes intends to ensure that the ball is moving.
It’s undoubtedly not promising for those hoping for the OWL branding and formatting. During the season, a specific team, such as Chengdu Hunter, left OWLs. Chengdu Hunters decided to quit due to this issue and the fact that Overwatch no longer operates servers in China.
Some decided to reduce the losses using minor and budget rosters that could be used throughout the year, attempting to cut costs as much as possible. There is no desire by the majority of groups to keep OWL running.
Some people still have faith, including OverActive Chief Executive Officer Adam Adamou, who promised they’d do everything possible to return OWL in the coming year.
