ORIGINAL STORY 3RD MAY: Overwatch’s more serious, ranked Competitive Play mode will be disabled during the open beta, up until “sometime” after the game launches on 24th May.
Competitive Play was added early April and so was live for two-and-a-half weeks before the closed beta went offline.
The Overwatch open beta begins this week.
“We worked extremely hard to get Competitive Play in the game for closed beta,” wrote Kaplan.
