It's attracting big sporting corporation these days - The owners of Arsenal have a team in LA, the patriots Owners have Boston, The Mets COO owns the New York team and the Philadelphia Flyers owners have a Philadelphia team. They each paid $20 million to be involved in the start up of the league.

It's insane the numbers being thrown around. It's all because of the target viewership - mostly young males between 12 and 30. That's the dream target market for a lot of big advertisers. If it wasn't such a huge amount I'd want Essendon to try to get into the Overwatch league as well - there's no teams based in Australia yet and we're a great time zone for East Asian viewership, which is a massive esports market, especially China. The potential rewards would be huge.

Cheers for the info.
Like i said i was interested a few years ago and paid attention to some of it when games i liked featured i had no idea Overwatch was that big money wise.

Some esports fans would say the same thing about football. What's your point?

The statement is fairly clear isnt it?

It contains my point - I will take note of yours and not go talking up live AFL on esports forums.

I feel like I’m walking into a trap LoL is a PC game. I don’t think it’s on consoles but the type of game and controls you have could easily be adapted to it.

Appears to be standings here

https://oce.lolesports.com/oce-opl/opl-2018-split-1/teams

Ill also add, that site is 10x better designed and responsive than the AFL one.

Is it surprising that a bunch of people who spend 99% of their life in a UI would have a decent UI though? Perhaps we need more of these types designing/commissioning our websites

Legacy Esportse and Dire Wolvese more like it. * Dire Wolvese.

Well Legacy is owned by Adelaide FC so I guess there would already be some form of rivalry there.
