Activision Blizzard has officially named Pete Vlastelica as the new Commissioner of the Overwatch League.
Vlastelica will also continue in his role as President & CEO of Activision Blizzard Esports Leagues as he takes on the additional duties that come with the Commissioner gig.
“I have been closely involved with the Overwatch League since early in the design phase in 2016, and since then I have been running the business that operates the league” Vlastelica said, during an interview with Overwatch League. “Over the years I have developed close relationships with our owners and have gotten familiar with the product. When the commissioner role opened up, we thought it was important to install someone into that position who had a broad view of the challenges and opportunities the league is facing, as well as the right relationships to move things forward quickly. It turns out that was me.”
