Overwatch Esports

The first seven teams in Overwatch League have been announced, both on Twitter and in a video by league commissioner Nate Nanzer.

It's been such a long summer. I just want to relax by the pool and watch some esports. Luckily, there's plenty to watch this weekend.

We knew the round-of-32 group stage of the Overwatch World Cup would commence with a live event in Shanghai this weekend.

The University of California, Irvine is one of a handful of universities offering esports scholarships, starting with a League of Legends scholarship in 2016.

It's been a busy week in esports as usual. The World of Warcraft esports team even unveiled a shiny new website. They don't have any events coming up this weekend, so for now you can just use it to mark your esports calendar. Here are the esports we'll be watching this weekend.

My emotional kryptonite is people being nice to little kids, so please excuse this column. After I saw Kim Phan and some of Team TeSPA visit the UCI Esports girls summer camp, I had to go lie down for a while. Luckily, I can stream esports to my bedroom, so while I recover I'll have plenty to watch.

Now that Dreamhack is over, the dog days of summer are beginning in earnest.

Dreamhack Summer is one of the biggest hubs for esports every year.

It's going to be a long weekend for Blizzard esports, even if all you're watching is the HGC Mid-Season Brawl.

We're having a super busy week here at Blizzard Watch, but the esports train keeps on chugging along.
