An Overwatch League expansion is likely, Activision Blizzard has confirmed.
President and CEO of Activision Blizzard Esports Leagues, Pete Vlastelica, told German publication Handelsblatt that the league plans to add “two [teams] from the Americas, two from Asia-Pacific, and two from Europe and the Middle East.”
Singling out Europe, Vlastelica said that Activision Blizzard is more concerned with Overwatch players than cities by population. He said that cities like Paris, Berlin, Amsterdam and “some Scandinavian regions” are being considered.
Vlastelica didn’t specify potential cities being considered for the two Asia Pacific region teams.
