The number of teams in Blizzard's Overwatch League has grown from 7 to 9. Blizzard announced the addition of two teams, one in London and one in Los Angeles. The former is the first Overwatch League team in all of Europe and it'll be operated by Cloud9.
Kroenke Sports & Entertainment is behind the Los Angeles group. It's known for having stakes in regular sports teams like the LA Rams and Denver Nuggets.
Before the League's games begin later in 2017, Blizzard is going to introduce more franchises.
These two owners in particular will hopefully clarify a little bit how we're going about building this league. Which is to say we're pulling the best from the worlds of e-sports and traditional sports, so that these owners can learn from each other.- Pete Vlastelica, CEO, Major League Gaming
