OW fans wonder why us non OW fans care so much about OWL. It's simple, it has been touted as the future of esports, it has brought millions in investment into the space. If it fails, it will send shockwaves to the mainstream, not that OWL is a bad investment, but that esports is.

The entire concept of the game of CS is not brand safe for some advertisers/sponsors. Changing the side names does not change that issue. Also not every esport has to be brand safe for all either. Fighting sports are not brand safe for some advertisers, and that's ok.
