The Overwatch League has cancelled live events over March and April, through actual matches will continue to take place.
“The health and safety of employees, fans, players, teams, and partners is paramount to Activision Blizzard Esports,” a statement begins.
“We are continuing to closely monitor COVID-19 (coronavirus), city-level recommendations and mandates, and all guidelines set forther by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
“After careful review and working in close collaboration with our teams, we are cancelling all Overwatch League events scheduled for March and April.”
“To be clear, we WILL be playing matches in March and April,” Overwatch League Commissioner, Pete Vlastelica, said in a follow-up tweet. “We cancelled the events, not the matches (though we will have to move a few things around in the schedule to make this work).”
Overwatch is currently available on Windows PC, Xbox One, PS4 and Switch.
