Our payouts aren't that big. It's not what most of our players care about. We approach it like recreational softball leagues. We play to compete with our friends. We, as admins, strive to make the matches as competitive as possible.
We are very experienced with running leagues. We've been running a dota 2 league for almost three years, have had over 20k registered users and paid out thousands in prizes.
Our site is here. These starter leagues will cost a dollar (for the whole team) to join that is waived if you follow our twitter. We do this to make sure teams show up. We've found that free sign ups mean that the quality of the league goes way down, with 30-40% of the teams not showing up. If you absolutely hate twitter and hate the idea of paying a dollar even more, then you can email us (overwatch@playon.gg). If you can tell an awesome story, send me a delicious pasta recipe, or a great joke, I'll happily waive your fee.
A note for console players
We really had originally intended for this to be only for PC players, as we assumed that is where the majority of the players would be.
I play on Xbox a LOT and would love to have some teams to compete with there. I have opened an Xbox one league and would love some teams to play against! I have also opened a PS4 league due to quite a bit of interest!
A note for EU players
We're NA based and that is our primary target. However, as with consoles, if the demand is sufficient, we're more than happy to open an EU league as well.
