Neither the Heroes Global Championship nor – the official professional and collegiate-level eSports systems – will return in 2019.“After looking at all of our priorities and options in light of the change with the game, the Heroes Global Championship and Heroes of the Dorm will not return in 2019,” says Blizzard, “This was another very difficult decision for us to make. Half of us are playing the game so that we can come up with theories as to what the characters do in their off time.“Ultimately, we’re setting up the game for long-term sustainability. We’re so grateful for the support the community has shown from the beginning, and the development team will continue to support Heroes with the same passion, dedication, and creativity that has made the game such a unique experience.”Plans for the official eSports league have also come to an end. ![]() If you want to climb the ladder, there’s a whole system for that with people who take it very, very seriously.īut let’s be honest: part of the reason we love Overwatch is because of the characters. If you want to just see a new side of some old favorites from Overwatch, you can do that in bot games and have fun tinkering around. Heroes is as challenging as you want it to be.
