Blizzard has announced the Overwatch League's 2019 schedule which brings in eight new expansion teams, some away games, and a $5 million USD prize pool. The away games will be hosted by Dallas Fuel, Atlanta Reign, and Los Angeles Valiant in their home cities, which allows the OWL to shake things up a bit. The Overwatch League's first season hosted every regular season game at the Blizzard Arena in Burbank, CA. Dallas Fuel will be the first to host an away game on April 27-28, 2019.
