DOJ investigates Overwatch League

It looks like the Department of Justice has launched an antitrust inquiry into Overwatch League soft salary caps, which are meant to prevent teams from buying their way to wins. It isn't a criminal investigation, according to sources, so no one is facing criminal actions. However, the DOJ trial attorney Kathleen Simpson Kiernan is apparently wondering about the lack of a players' union, which would allow the league to claim the same labor exemptions enjoyed by conventional unionized sports.
