Endnu et eSportshold dropper Overwatch

Overwatch har været i ret så hård modvind på eSportsmarkedet for nylig, om ikke andet i forhold til samarbejdet med etablerede eSportshold. Godt nok er der verdensmesterskaberne hvor repræsentanterne er individer der findes via kvalificeringsrunder, men de professionelle hold har stødt trukket sig ud af disciplinen, deriblandt Team Solomid, Denial Esports, CompLexity, Red Reserve og Splyce.

Nu har endnu et hold valgt at trække sig helt, og det er Ninjas In Pyjamas. Godt nok havde organisations Overwatch-hold netop kvalificeret sig til en turnering med en præmiepulje på $100.000, men alligevel har holdet afsløret, at de nu bare vil observere spillet, men ikke deltage.

"We entered the Overwatch scene last year just as the game launched, with one of the strongest lineups at the time of entry. The prospect of an emerging esport title was exciting as Ninjas in Pyjamas and other esports organizations picked up teams. As time passed, we have seen a growing amount of teams release their Overwatch lineups as they assess the future of the game as an esports title. The scene has not evolved as expected with viewership being below expectations and Blizzard is yet to announce more details surrounding their upcoming Overwatch League."

Mon dette vil skade spillet?
