Partnering with NTMR, Sign unveils the formation of an Esports team for Overwatch 2
Sign Esports and NTMR Team Up for Overwatch 2 Midseason Championship
In an exciting turn of events, esports club NTMR and blockchain organization Sign have formed a partnership to create Sign Esports Club for the Overwatch 2 scene. This collaboration, referred to as the start of a new chapter, will see NTMR's Overwatch 2 team temporarily compete under the Sign banner in global events, beginning with the Overwatch Champions Series (OWCS) Mid-Season Championship.
The OWCS Mid-Season Championship, part of the larger Esports World Cup (EWC) framework, is scheduled to run from July 31 to August 3, 2025, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The team will undergo a pre-tournament training bootcamp in South Korea to prepare for this prestigious event.
The prize pool for the OWCS Mid-Season Championship is a substantial $1 million, making victory one of the most coveted titles in the Overwatch competitive circuit. The Overwatch 2 team will wear newly designed Sign-branded orange jerseys and represent Sign Esports during the EWC.
Beyond their collaboration for the Overwatch 2 Midseason Championship, Sign Esports has not publicly disclosed specific future plans. However, the organization has hinted at broader ambitions beyond this tournament. The partnership and participation in the OWCS, according to Sign, mark the beginning of a new chapter, implying potential expansion within the esports space or involvement in other competitive gaming titles.
NTMR's General Manager and CEO, Jack 'Fl4k' Ketchum, has assured supporters that he will continue backing the team during their time with Sign. The decision to temporarily compete under the Sign banner was made in the best interest of the players for potential performance improvement at the EWC and future professional growth.
As the lines between technology, sports, and media continue to blur, such collaborations are likely to become more prominent within the global esports landscape. The partnership between a blockchain enterprise and an esports club illustrates the growing intersection of Web3 companies and digital competitive entertainment.
Whether Sign will have a permanent presence in competitive gaming or expand into additional titles remains uncertain. For now, fans can look forward to the exciting journey of Sign Esports in the Overwatch 2 scene and eagerly await the disclosure of their post-tournament plans.
