Figured this was going to be put on hold at some point. The Overwatch League that the Fusion play in has struggled this year. For those that don't follow OWL, this is the 3rd year the league has existed and the first season where they made the switch from all of the teams playing in one location in LA to each team having a home arena and operating like professional sports leagues. They got about 1/4 of the season done before Covid obviously put a stop to all of that. They also switched from streaming on Twitch to YouTube this season and viewership numbers are way down so they're struggling across the board. Comcast has the money to build a stadium though so maybe they decide to move forward at some point
