OW actually has some real dosh behind it, I dunno if UGC can compete.
It might be fun for lower level teams, though.

Hello
UGC OW Admin here,
We're very excited to be hosting an OW league and very much look forward to our upcoming pilot season.
It's looking to be like a mini season lasting about 5 or so weeks to test out various rules and configurations (both in-game and on the UGC backend). Taking the feedback we gain from that we will be launching a formal 'Season 1' in the fall. Our rules page as it is now isn't final as we are still tweaking things here and there and will continue to do so in the following days. We've been keeping a line of dialogue with Blizzard regarding our league to to not only improve our experience for the end users but to also provide Blizzard with suggestions on what we think they can do to improve their structure. We can't say for certain whether or not they'll implement our suggestions (Things like having Custom Lobby templates for Comp Matches so settings don't have to be redone in full every-single-time). That aside, we are very excited about this pilot season and we look forward to seeing you guys there.
If you have any questions or concerns feel free to reach out to me on Bnet or the UGC Discord

Who knows this might be good for TF2. If they push OW hard enough we might be able to kill off HL finally.

Just keep the majority of UGC admins from making anything other than administrative decisions and the league could be decent

Don't know why miggy is getting minus fragged. Perhaps a reflex folks have developed when dealing with other UGC admins on the forums? :P
Miggy, imo, is probably one of the most reasonable guys in UGC at the moment. Nothing in his post was even remotely controversial. UGC is overwhelmingly bad, but their OW division has some serious potential being led by Mig.

why would anyone play this over the weekly gosu and other small (yet not shit) tournys for a 0$ prizepool

No money no players, simple as that. There are multiple cups on esl and gosugamers going on every week, I just don't see a reason someone would play UGC.

Kevin, I feel you man.
Miggy, having personal experience with the OW team taking feedback seriously during the early beta, trust me when I say they'll definitely listen to what you have to say. Templates for settings are definitely the kind of thing they'll happily implement. They'll probably even be willing to keep it up to date for each league upon request - one for WCS, UGC, ESL, etc (I honestly don't know what leagues have picked up OW but I know it'll be at WCS and ESL probably has).
Frankly I don't know how well UGC will be able to host Overwatch but at the same time, I love you guys for trying. Bryan Lunduke has a great talk about this kind of thing, if you're up for listening to it sometime. It's a long winded metaphor but worth the listen in the background.

I don't care if I'm downfragged. You guys really need to man up if you're so scared about someone in your own community putting his heart into something you personally don't like. It doesn't fucking matter if you like it or not, experimentation and competition is what makes this community evolve. Lessons learned from other games can always be applied here.
Good luck UGC.

aurora_why would anyone play this over the weekly gosu and other small (yet not shit) tournys for a 0$ prizepool
This isn't tf2 anymore, the playerbase is massive. Overwatch has ability to support tons of leagues, so even if it's not wildly successful, I'm sure it will have some appeal.

Not everyone has the skill to actually do well in said tournaments, UGC is the perfect place for people who dont feel like trying to get spots into a tourney they will probably lose because many pro teams are also participating in said tournaments

its also a league compared the to weekly tournies which are not, so it has a bit more structure
