overwatch will always be shit because of their franchised league system, it might be the worst for competitive integrity in all of esports

its shits because of the game, Americans love franchises. All their big sports are franchised for years

This right here. I think it was an attempt to make video games into something like the NFL, MLB, or NBA

Yea its a proven competitive (even though no relegation) concept, which is good for getting big money in a sport. And you kinda have to do that in esports, its hard to make a Bundesliga for Valorant or others when there aren't enough orgs for a full ecosystem

Overwatch as a game still very healthy, unique gameplay so lot of loyal causal fans. But its Esport is more dead years after years.Its viewership on Twitch is dead also (from 1.5m last week to 6k6 now :)) )

Overwatch League for tier 1, but they exclusively stream on YouTube. New season is starting in like day or two.

I've followed Overwatch League since season 1, but no. It will never compete with Valorant or CSGO sadly. They had their chances during first 2 seasons, but the average viewership has been in downward trend from season to season outside of like last where they got slightly better average most likely due to good meta changes. Pretty much the overall popularity of Overwatch dropping, to no content addition, to boring metas that were a thing during like Season 2 and 3 of OWL, to YouTube exclusively just keep this game away from competing against the top dogs. Obviously now they are entering to Overwatch "2", so there might be some extra interest when it starts but even still Overwatch 2 has been a meme so far and I don't think the viewership will get any better for this season. Great esport that once hosted bunch of great personalities and storylines, but is sadly just pretty dead at least compared to top esports.

Blizzard is literally the wrong example of Riot, take control of everything and mess it all up.
