The Overwatch League has announced plans for a "revitalized esports program" following the end of the 2023 season
03.10.2023 - 16:09 / techradar.com
It’s been a bittersweet weekend for the Overwatch League. On October 1, the Florida Mayhem defeated the Houston Outlaws within Overwatch 2 in the Overwatch League Grand Finals, but although this is a reason to celebrate — the Overwatch League may be saying its final farewell.
Caster Soe Gschwind reflected on the past six years of the league in a tearful farewell, which may seem so emotional due to being the end of the season, but has the ring of a final farewell. Within this sign-off Gschwind states: «Now that we close this chapter, I think we should all just look back at this and remember the moments that took our breath away.
»We have to remember the friendships we got to form and the lessons that we learned. So from all of us, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for being part of this incredible journey. It's been an honor, a privilege, and a joy to share this experience with all of you." The full speech can be seen below:
