Mnogi timovi iz Overwatch lige su formirali svoje tzv. Academy timove, što su timovi sastavljeni od igrača koji još uvek ne mogu da nastupaju u OWL i prospektivnih pojačanja. Ovi timovi mogu da igraju u zasebnim takmičenjima i na taj način steknu neophodno iskustvo na takmičarskoj sceni. Očekuje se da će se i druge OWL franšize priključiti ovom vrlo zdravom trendu po Overwatch e-sport, a trenutne sastave ovih timova možete proveriti na listi ispod:
