Overwatch Birth of a Professional eSports Team - From Rolling Stone Here

Team shooter Overwatch was designed first and foremost to be fun. But its real potential can be found in what came next: A meticulous pursuit by the company behind StarCraft, Diablo, World of Warcraft and Call of Duty to use the massively popular title to redefine sports and esports for an international audience.

"First we were focused on building a great competitive game," says Blizzard president and co-founder Mike Morhaime. "I mean the team was 100 percent focused on that and once we felt confident that we had a really compelling, awesome, competitive game, then we kind of transitioned a little bit and felt like, 'OK, we need to really think about what sports look like for this game, so that we're ready out the gate to be able to support it."
