Blizzard has announced a eSports League for Overwatch

Blizzard анонсировала киберспортивную лигу по OverwatchAlso Blizzard is gonna do the game itself.

For 2016 BlizzCon, Blizzard have prepared a lot of news about its multiplayer hit Overwatch.

Just take a look at a few costumes that artists have come up with for Sombra. Boop!

Also Blizzard is gonna do the game itself. The usual weekly brawl will replace the whole section “arcade”, which is fraught with many modes. Among them — the playlist with fights, the fight one-on-one battle to the death the three three. Since the original levels for 12 people, for “Arcade” Blizzard has built a separate small map — Ecopoint Antarctica, which is closely connected with the history of may.

In addition, for winning and simply taking part in the “Arcade” will be issued containers with loot.

By the way, in a short time to take a few of the same characters on a team will be allowed only in the “Arcade”. Quick battles will go the way competitive players can “peak” only unique characters. As Blizzard says, the audience settled into the game, studied its features, so you can move quick fights ahead.

All of the above changes will appear in Overwatch next week in the so-called PTR. If the trials are successful, the innovations will be implemented in the main version soon.

And here’s another novelty — a complete Oasis map with the mode “Control object” — get to the test server in December. At this location you will see the town, which was built by scientists in the desert in the middle East. A full release of Oasis to be held in early 2017.

Finally, Blizzard has announced a massive initiative Overwatch League. The company plans to combine the best of what she has done for tournaments for their previous games, with elements that are characteristic of traditional sports. How it will look, see the videos below.
