Activision Blizzard has "sold slots" for Overwatch League in Chengdu, China, and Vancouver as the "final cities in its expansion sales process," according to sources cited by Jacob Wolf of ESPN.com. Sources said that the Chengdu team "will be owned by Huya, the popular Chinese streaming platform." In March, Chinese conglomerate Tencent invested $461.6M in Huya. Soures said that in Vancouver, Aquilini Investment Group, run by the family that owns the Canucks, "will own the slot and team." OWL will be Canucks Sports & Entertainment's "first foray into esports ownership." Prices for these slots were "not disclosed." The addition of the teams will bring OWL "up to 20 teams." Sources said that the league "will look to move its teams to the home regions" by '20. Of the participating teams, only one, the L.A. Valiant, has "chosen its home venue," which will be the Microsoft Theater in downtown. A number of teams, their parent companies or their investors, however, "have sports venues or real estate holdings in their home cities" (ESPN.com, 9/5).
