By Nicholas Barth ·
The Paris Eternal has been revealed as the official team name of the Paris Overwatch League team for Season 2 with a call to Paris' roots being the inspiration for the teams branding.
Season 2 of the Overwatch League will soon be kicking off with the start date for the 2019 season scheduled for February 14th. With eight new teams making their debut in the Overwatch League during Season 2, many of the new franchises have begun to officially announce their team names, branding and rosters that will be at the heart of their quest for securing the next Overwatch League championship. Two of the latest franchises to have done so have been the Guangzhou, China team and the Paris, France team who revealed its team name to be the Paris Eternal.
The logo of the newly revealed team features an infinity symbol within the body of a Gallic rooster, which has been the national symbol of France for a great deal of time.
"Paris Eternal will be focused on winning and results," said Michael “Mex” De Wit, General Manager for Paris Eternal. "We believe our international roster is poised to succeed.”
This roster that the French franchise will be looking at to lead the region to success in Season 2 of the Overwatch League was announced on October 23rd and features a mix of veteran and young talent.
