Esports Insider says: Partnerships with training platforms have become a standard among esports organisations, as well as tournament organisers, so it’s not a surprise to see Houston Outlaws team up with one before it kicks off the new Overwatch season. Thanks to this collaboration, which will also see KovaaK’s featured on Houston Outlaws social media channels, both the team and the platform will be able to further expand their reach.
