If you were to ask someone what the biggest change is between the 2019 Overwatch Season and last year's season, the most likely response would be all the new teams joining the league. With 8 new teams
The Overwatch franchise team for Vancouver made their official announcement on December 1st and will be joining the Overwatch League in 2019. The team's name is ‘Vancouver Titans', and as many fans in the Overwatch community anticipated, the players are from RunAway, the team that swept the Overwatch Contenders KR. It is quite significant how every member of RunAway, the team that dominated the KR Contenders, got to join the 2019 Overwatch League. As the Overwatch League and regional Contenders were systemized in 2018, it was also the first year the players from the Contenders got to officially join the League. During this period, they had to test how smoothly the process of the Contenders players joining the League would go and how the Overwatch esports ecosystem would function around both the League and Contenders. During that process, every single member of RunAway made it to a League team, living up to their name as ‘the best regional Contenders team in KR'.

The loudest applause from the crowd at the opening ceremony for BlizzCon 2018 was in response to least expected reveals -- Warcraft 3: Reforged (a remastered version of Warcraft 3), Lucio-Oh's (the cereals), and B.O.B (the omnic butler that appears in Ashe's ult). Ashe was obviously popular as well, especially in the Overwatch demonstration booth; the way Blizzard showcased this new Western hero and her relationship with McCree felt refreshing, too. With most of the previous additional heroes in Overwatch, they were released after some hints or clues were given to fans. This wasn't the same for Ashe, and there is a reason behind that; we had the opportunity to hear about it from Jeff Kaplan, the director for Overwatch, and Hak Lee, the technical artist for Blizzard, as well as a bit about the Doomfist nerf.
Ashe, the 29th hero for Overwatch, was revealed during the opening ceremony for BlizzCon 2018, held at the Anaheim Convention Center on November 2nd. Ashe is a mid-ranged DPS hero who uses a semi-automatic rifle and is expected to bring a significant change to the meta, especially in the Overwatch esports, since her skill set is great for shifting the tides of battle. We had the opportunity to interview Scott Mercer, the principal designer for Overwatch, on this new hero.
A cinematic is one of content that excites the BlizzCon audience as much as the new game titles or first demonstration. Blizzard fans shout and become thrilled like nothing before while watching them.
