Swedish-born Overwatch pro and analyst Jonathan “Reinforce” Larsson posted on Twitter over the weekend that his contract for Overwatch League is not renewed for next year. Reinforce started his three-year run as an analyst after working the Overwatch World Cup in 2016. Larsson has stated that he will be returning to streaming on Twitch regularly.
I had an amazing time this weekend, but I'm sad to announce this is the end as I've not been offered a talent contract for @OverwatchLeague 2019.@PlayOverwatch is the best thing to ever happen to me. Thank you to my fantastic co-workers, and my lovely fans. You made me happy.
