With hopes high for the upcoming Overwatch postseason, there’s still some difficulties to get over. Indeed, Blizzard just came out today with a new statement. Accordingly, the Overwatch League Postseason events will no longer have a live crowd!
Overwatch League Postseason – What Now?
Heading into this postseason, the Play-Ins and Playoffs were set to take place live in stage. Indeed, with venues in Dallas and Los Angeles, everything looked to be awesome.
Everything came crashing down with an announcement from Blizzard yesterday:
Unfortunately, since we originally announced plans for the postseason, the environment has changed significantly. After continued consultation with our teams, we are no longer confident that all of them would be able to travel to the United States with their full rosters.

We have therefore made the difficult decision to pivot from live events centered around Dallas and Los Angeles and will instead return to Hawaii for postseason competition. We will share more details in the coming days about how this will work, including updated dates for playoffs.

Indeed, this logic is only respectable.
Accordingly, Blizzard are simply doing what is best when considering the safety of everyone.
