“Yeah, I think OpTic is talking to WEUNITED. I don’t know ifthat’s a spoiler, I shouldn’t have said anything.”

Well, he definitely sounds like a guy who just put his foot inhis mouth, at the very least.

WEUNITED is an Overwatch squad that consists of both Americansand Europeans, such as TwoEasy, z0mbs, Forsak3n and even Rod”Slasher” Breslau, a longtime esports journalist and communitymember. GosuGamers has WEUNITED ranked as the sixth-bestEuropean team and the thirteenth-best team in the world.

It would make sense for OpTic and pretty much any esportsorganization to move into Overwatch, as it appears to be on therise as a competitive game. While its numbers have not beenincredibly successful just yet, the game is still in its infancyand can only improve as time goes on. And if Blizzard’s trackrecord is any indication, Overwatch will be around as an esport fora long time to come.
