In less than 2 months, Activision Blizzard's "Overwatch" official league is about to start the fifth season of the battle, but even now, the most important problem is not how to isolate the epidemic, but there is no sponsor in place, the official statement is that multiple partners have been contacted to "talk", but from the activision Blizzard series of lawsuits last year, it seems that all this is unknown.
Having survived the epidemic, coupled with the new season, as well as factors such as "Overwatch 2", Activision Blizzard can be said to be hoping to show its fists through the new season, who knows that there will be such an embarrassing situation. In the past OWL, there were not only many sponsors, but also quite heavy, including Coca-Cola, Pinker Potato Chips, Intel, HP, Toyota and many other well-known big names. However, many sponsors chose to terminate their contracts immediately after Activision Blizzard's sexual harassment lawsuit was made public. According to foreign media reports, these terminated sponsors have no plans to sign a sponsorship contract with the Overwatch League in 2022, and deny that this decision is related to Activision Blizzard's lawsuit.
OWL can also be regarded as a disaster, after the announcement in 2019 that the home and away system will be implemented, the epidemic has made this plan have to make many adjustments, just because of the epidemic problem, OWL has been cancelled four times, and now it is difficult to survive the epidemic, but because of internal reasons, it is really regrettable.
