As part of the deal, Google Cloud will also serve as Activision Blizzard’s game hosting platform too.
YouTube has already begun broadcasting the first Call of Duty League and will go on to stream the next Overwatch League season on 8 February 2020.
Previously the Overwatch League was available on Twitch.
Other esports events, such as Hearthstone Esports, are also set to stream on the platform.
