Twitch COO Kevin Lin said in a statement..
“The Overwatch League is making a major impact on esports by reshaping the industry with city-based teams. Given Overwatch’s consistent reign as a top viewed game by our community, we look forward to offering their pioneering style of league play to a large and passionate fanbase that will be able to bond over not only their favorite plays, but hometown pride.”
