One of the most popular eSports arenas today: the most important Overwatch League tournaments are held here, in Los Angeles. A lot of teams try to get to the Blizzard Arena, because if you are there – it means you’ve already achieved a lot and are one step away from victory. However, this arena does not hold many spectators – only 450 people. But the matches taking place in the arena are broadcasted online and gather hundreds of fans.
It so happens that the playing fields, where the greatest sporting events take place, in time develop their own history. They witness great achievements, victories and defeats. All this is done by athletes and players, but no sports arena, no stadium can do without spectators – for devoted fans they become a second home. Here they meet friends, spend time with family, and connect with those who can truly share their passion.
For the first season of Overwatch League, Blizzard Arena Los Angeles, located in Burbank, California, will be such a place. Once upon a time this building was occupied by the legendary Burbank Studios, and popular television programs were prepared to air here. And after a major renovation, the place is ready to host eSports competitions. Overwatch League games will take place inside full-featured studios with seats for more than 450 spectators and boxes for special guests. In addition, the building has practice rooms where teams can stretch out before the game, as well as rest areas for players and office space.
Blizzard Arena will be available for the first time from October 7-8 during the Overwatch Contenders Season 1 playoffs. Fighting has been raging all summer in the West, and the moment is almost here: the four strongest teams from Europe and North America will fight for a prize pool of $100,000 per region. Tickets are available now at universe.com/overwatchcontenders. Trust me, if you want to experience the magic of the Overwatch League in person, this is an opportunity not to be missed.
