Today’s Game Talk Live returns to the discussion of the Overwatch League following its first week of matches. Panelists discuss the successes, failures, hype, drags, and opportunities of the current year of Overwatch League and what the future has in store for this event, the Overwatch competitive scene, and esports gaming as a whole.

Some of the topics on today’s episodes include hype and attraction of viewers and fans. Is Overwatch League doing enough to keep audiences engaged? Are sponsors satisfied enough to stay involved? Will the viewership continue to grow and make Overwatch League a lucrative scene in which to engage and invest? The discussion covers the gamut from investors and players to viewers and fans to measure the success of Overwatch League so far and make predictions about the League’s future.

Are the crop of players and their “home” representation good enough or can the Overwatch League continue to build its representation with stars and top-skilled players, as well as diverse backgrounds? Our panelists share their thoughts on which players stand out from the others, which city and national representation they’d like to see, and what sponsors, players, and supporters can learn as long as the scene continues to grow.

Finally, GTL discusses Overwatch League can learn from other sports and events. The panelists put in their insight on how Overwatch League’s presentation can be improved, including points on how other sporting and gaming events handle their own broadcasts and how Overwatch League can take hints from outside sources to make viewing the League easier and more engaging for all fans.

Today’s show has wrapped up, but you can tune in above to see the whole episode and catch up on all the hot discussion!
