A leak has surfaced indicating that the Overwatch League is going to delay its start of the 2021 Season which seems to indicate towards a release window for Overwatch 2 and add evidence to the previous leaks of a beta likely at the Feb Blizzcon. This is all good news however with how good the state of Overwatch is right now [see our or Seagull’s video on the subject] OW2 could do more harm than good if Blizzard isn’t careful and returns to their old mistakes one large one being chasing meta diversity for variety’s sake while losing control of the core of the game. With news of OWL attempting to sync onto the hype train of the OW2 release, I certainly hope that the game balance doesn’t attempt to attack OWL when the game is in such a good state for the average player. Add bans instead, or anything to counteract the difference in coordination between full team pro play in a multi-map series and the average solo queue game of Overwatch, that’d be great.

Seagull wants players union for OWL
OWL desperately needs a players association.
With OW2 on the horizon, poor viewership, and a rumored late start to the season (April), teams are incentivized to drop players and save money.
Why spend money on talent that might not be talent when OW2 hits? pic.twitter.com/eKfw7W0s9T

Players like Moth / Danteh – proven talents still in their prime will have zero issues.
Same for rising stars like Shockwave.
But you can't expect teams that have run the same core for years with no success (ie: Outlaws) to stick with the same roster. Many teams need change.
