Blizzard: Just as an example, tentatively for illustration purpose, let's assume that... Esports: Paaaaaaaanic! https://t.co/rkd555V7rQ

While 'illustrative', no doubt for me this is best case scenario the exact city list Blizzard wants for OWL if successful luring investors.
ReDeYe @PaulChaloner
Friendly reminder to those new to esports, the Overwatch league is not the first to come up with city based leagues.
ReDeYe @PaulChaloner
10 years ago the CGS did something similiar. It's a shame therefore the lessons haven't been learned from those mistakes.
ReDeYe @PaulChaloner
Don't get me wrong, I hope the OWL is a huge success, I just wish some of the lessons we learned 10 years ago are used.

The goal of OWL was never really to create a global league. If they could have done it without backlash it would be a 16 team NA League. https://t.co/IToQFGBuIV

Is this inversely proportional to the amount of success each region has had in esports? https://t.co/zUbnfHHe6r

To give perspective, 11 OWL NA spots is almost twice the amount of Premier tournament wins NA has in SC2, LoL and CS:GO combined (6)

No OWL spots for the Western front runner in esport, Scandinavia? The North remembers!

Stupid Blizzard. Shouldve given at least 12/16 spots to make sure NA places top5 https://t.co/FPNXt6y8yD

Can't imagine that city list being final for OWL Bitch about only one KR, but the sheer financial idiocy of only one CN city would be xD
Josh 'Elbion' Tuffs @ElbionTosscoble
Wow. Korea easily has 5 of the top 10 teams in the world, but just one Overwatch League spot?? Assuming the second Asia slot is in China.
hermit @mtnhrmt
don't understand 1 CN and 1 KR team for OWL
