The D.C.-based expansion franchise in the Overwatch League, the esports venture built around Blizzard Entertainment's first-person shooter game unveiled its team name: the Washington Justice.

"Justice is a universal value and the perfect name for a franchise that we hope will inspire and unite both our Washington area community and fans around the globe," Mark Ein, who leads the Justice's ownership group, said in a statement. "There is no region in the world that attracts more people to serve the cause of justice in government, philanthropy, academia, military service, and the private sector than Washington."

Ein, who also owns the Washington Kastles of World Team Tennis, reportedly paid between $35 million and $60 million for the franchise.

According to the team, which will market to fans from Baltimore to Richmond, the single white star is "an ode to the American flag, our capital city, and a symbol of unity."

"D.C.'s official city motto is 'Justitia Omnibus,' which translates to 'Justice for All,'" Ein said. "As a team representing the broader DMV region, it was important that our team identity reflects a value that unifies all of our community members, representing the full diversity of backgrounds and beliefs."

The Justice has already announced several members of its coaching staff, including head coach Hyeong-seok "WizardHyeong" Kim and assistant coach Kyoung Ey Molly "AVALLA" Kim, the first female coach in the Overwatch League.

One really awesome thing is the D.C. Overwatch team "is home to two trailblazing role models for women in the esports community ": https://washington-justice.com/about/

Fittingly, the Washington Justice coaching staff reflects the Capital Region's diverse character, strong work ethic, and commitment to excellence. The staff and players come from five different countries, including the United States, Canada, New Zealand, Norway, and South Korea. The team is home to two trailblazing role models for women in the esports community: Kate Mitchell has been a tireless leader in Overwatch grassroots esports, building and leading organizations to competitive success; similarly, Molly "AVALLA" Kim has built a reputation for her deeply analytic coaching style in Overwatch Contenders, leading to her becoming the first female coach in the Overwatch League.
