Igår rapporterade vi om uppgifter från ESPN som sade att det kostar $20 miljoner (runt 180 miljoner kronor) att vara med i Overwatch League. Det är för dyrt för vad man får, menar många och nu har Blizzard själva kommenterat saken:

"We appreciate that there's a lot of enthusiasm about the Overwatch League, which has translated into months of speculation - including reports circulating unverified and wildly ranging rumours from anonymous sources about purported deal terms, team pricing, and other details. We understand the interest in the rumours, and we feel it's important to clarify some things for our community.

First, we want to be clear that our ultimate goal is to create an exciting Overwatch esports ecosystem, the pinnacle of which will be the Overwatch League, that's accessible to a wide audience, sustainable, and rewarding for everyone involved. We're doing our best to take great care with building this ecosystem, and as with much of what we do, we don't release information until we're at a place where it makes sense to do so."

Blizzard trycker även på att de bryr sig om sitt community och säger:

"Ee'd like to dispel any rumours that we're ignoring endemics. Anyone who knows Blizzard understands how deeply we care about the communities around our games. The league is built upon the best elements of endemic esports programs and traditional sports, and we're in active discussions with many teams and owners from both worlds because it will take a village to stand up a league with such an unprecedented structure. Those conversations have been going well and there's a lot of excitement around our ambitious plans.

Finally, it's important to think twice about statements from unnamed sources, who may try to leverage the media to deliberately spread misinformation as bargaining tactics or for other competitive reasons. We look forward to officially sharing real details about the league and the ecosystem as a whole as we continue the development process. In the meantime we are staying focused on our goal of creating an awesome Overwatch esports experience for players, partners, and fans, and we want to thank everyone for their continued support."

Känns det här som lugnande besked för Overwatch League, tycker du?
