Blizzard’s Overwatch League is compiling a scouting report of the world’s best players

Overwatch League is taking some important steps this week to ensure that it has parity between its teams in cities around the world.

The esports organization, which Blizzard owns and operates, posted a letter from commissioner Nate Nanzer today that details how the company is planning to reveal scouting information about some of the best Overwatch players to the league’s teams. Blizzard already has data on how many people are playing the game from the last couple of ranked seasons as well as other pro events, and the publisher has sent out a survey asking players if they consent to inclusion in the scouting report. Blizzard and Overwatch League are doing this to ensure that teams can make smart choices when building out their squads. This could keep tournaments close, which would make for a more compelling overall product.
