Overwatch League finds a silver-lining to Season 3 turmoil: tournaments

In many ways, this third season was supposed to be a test for the grand vision set by Activision Blizzard when first creating the Overwatch League. All its franchises would start to see whether this city-based model, based off traditional sports, can function in esports. Over the course of the season, every team planned to host a series of two to five weekend competitions. The ticket sales and sponsorships from the live competitions would allow the host team to draw revenue from the event, but the pandemic ruled that possibility out entirely.
