It's obvious, that Blizzard is really trying to get more in touch with their community. Especially when it comes to tournaments and esports, Overwatch has been quite closed up for a long time. The Overwatch League teams always had a permanent contract with the league and are safe to be a part of each year.
But now that Blizzard brought the World Cup back, they're also launching a community-based tournament, that is open to anyone no matter the rank and skill.
