As Call of Duty fans were waiting for the attended platform to watch the new league, the Overwatch community was waiting for news about a possible renewal.
Blizzard signed a $90 million Twitch deal for Overwatch League back during the inaugural season of 2018, a deal that concluded after last season.
In addition to Overwatch League, Hearthstone Masters, and the Call of Duty League, the World of Warcraft Mythic Dungeon International and Arena World Championship will also be live-streamed and available on their respective YouTube channels.
