Dallas Fuel are home

The battle for Texas has shown the heights the Overwatch League is headed for in the years to come. The Overwatch League finished its first traveling event taking place in Texas. It wrapped up in a battle between the Houston Outlaws and Dallas Fuel over who rules Texas. This serves as the demo for the next year to have each team move to their respective arenas around the world and play true home and away games.

Earlier this year we saw the reveal of the Philadelphia Fusions arena and have witnessed the Blizzard Arena expand and redesign itself to accommodate the Overwatch League through both season 1 and 2. The event in Texas was larger than that of a normal weekly league game but it showed how ready the audience was to celebrate. Living in Burbank spoils me since i’m a stone’s throw away from the Blizzard Arena for OWL games.
This was a great experience for the Overwatch League as a proving grounds for their localized audiences. As the year goes on we will see 2 more major away events in Atlanta and Los Angeles. These will play to similar crowds who miss out on their teams and matches due to their distance. I hope these turn out just as amazing as the Dallas event was.
