Overwatch League teams' schedule includes match play in their home cities next year

The Overwatch League is going on the road. The esports league introduced by video game publisher Activision Blizzard last year announced its fledgling Overwatch League will move to home city competition starting in 2020. The shift will allow all 20 of the league's teams to play in venues within their host cities and travel for road matches against competitors. The announcement was made during the South by Southwest Festival in Austin on Friday. Entering its second season, the league – featuring Blizzard's first-person shooter video game "Overwatch" – currently hosts all teams' matches live at the Blizzard Arena in Los Angeles.
