The Overwatch League expands from seven to nine teams with new London and L.A. squads

The Overwatch League has grown to nine teams, adding another in Los Angeles and one in London. Last month, Blizzard announced that the first seven teams had joined its new esports organization, which aims to create a salaried city-based system for Overwatch players.

As in traditional sports, the Overwatch League has created official teams for individual cities. They can sign players from now until October 30, and each has to follow Blizzard’s rules, providing benefits, bonuses, and a minimum $50,000 yearly salary to its players.
