Overwatch League commissioner Nate Nanzer leaving Blizzard; will join Epic Games to lead esports strategy
- Thread starter ZeoVGM
- Start date
Nanzer was pitching an Overwatch league to Jeff Kaplan before the game even launched, just seems insane that he would leave mid-season like that. The money was probably too good to turn down and/or he thinks the Overwatch League is in a good enough spot and he just wants to move on to the next challenge.
I love what the league has turned into so I hope it keeps on improving even without Nanzer at the helm.
On the other hand, Fortnite esports has had some amusing fuck-ups (the Infinity Blade fiasco immediately comes to mind), so this is a really good get for them.

You know, my mind first went to Fortnite because I'm still not used to Rocket League being under Epic now.
But if this led to higher quality Rocket League esports, I would be so excited.
Oh shit. That's a huge blow to owl... Maybe? Nate's definitely been out of touch on some key things but there's no denying he helped build a pretty amazing league.
The most sceptical part of me says he's getting out before the clusterfuck next year of teams having to run their own arenas. Which I'm excited for, but from what I hear there's an impossible amount of work to get done to make it happen on time with teams that have varying levels of ability to make it happen smoothly.

Fortnite is even less interesting as an esport than Overwatch, so hopefully he's going to develop Rocket League.

Well, yes. But Overwatch is very interesting as an esport, so that makes sense.

Given its popularity, not very.
It's fine not to like it, obviously. But it obviously is working.
