Even if you aren't remotely interested in eSports, the Overwatch League is a big deal. Instead of trying to run multiple tournaments with varying sets of rules, Blizzard is uniting the entire Overwatch banner under their league, which operates a lot like the NFL or the NBA.
There's set teams in different divisions, there's a more visible schedule throughout the year, and players earn salaries ($50,000 minimum yearly with benefits), bonuses, and are held to higher scrutiny -- the most infamous of which is that since there's travel involved, they need to be at least 18 years of age.
After BlizzCon's Overwatch World Cup concluded this weekend a few finalized details came out surrounding the league, so here's a quick recap.
