Overwatch League has lost its second commissioner after just a year with the league.

Overwatch League has certainly seen a lot of change and fluctuation over its short two-year lifespan. Pitting franchises around the world against each other in Blizzard’s team-based shooter, Overwatch League remains one of the biggest organizations in esports. The league took a bit of a hit when it was announced that Pete Vlastelica, the commissioner of Overwatch League, is stepping down from the position.

Vlastelica is the President and CEO of Activision Blizzard Esports and had just taken over the role of Overwatch League Commissioner following Nate Nanzer’s departure back in May 2019. As initially reported by The Esports Observer, sources close to the situation have confirmed Vlastelica’s exit. 

“Pete Vlastelica, CEO of Activision Blizzard Esports and Commissioner of the Overwatch League, will transition from his role in ABE to focus on new entrepreneurial ventures on behalf of Activision Blizzard, following the Overwatch League Grand Finals. He was instrumental in building the company’s esports business and driving the industry forward, and we thank Pete for his contributions and impact on our business over the last four years,” shared a Blizzard spokesperson. 

The specifics surrounding Vlastelica’s departure will likely remain under wraps. That being said, frequent turnover with leadership is practically never a great sign, even though Nanzer left in pursuit of a role at Epic Games. It’s a bit too early to tell how this will impact Overwatch League down the road, but it’s a situation we’ll be closely eyeing. It’s yet to be announced who will take over the role of Overwatch League Commissioner, but we expect to hear more on that front soon.

      This a story about my first time with my neighbor when i was 18. I knew i was attracted to men from a young time https://asianporn.bar/ . I never had sex or anything. I never did anything with a man, though i was active with women. I used to workout and was a pretty boy with tiny waist and bubble butt. I was really attracted to older men with a dad bod and hairy bodies. I had subsided my gay side for a long time. I didnt want anyone to know i was gay it made me feel embarrassed. I thought everyone will look at me differently.

      One day a new neighbor moved next door, Mark https://javporn.love/ . He was 60 year old man with a big belly. He was hairy and just like my dream man. He had moved after his wife died, i had seen her pictures she was very young compared to him. Mark was really nice to me and my family. I would hangout with him alot, he would mourn his wife.

      Few years passed by i had just turned 21. Mark and I had gotten pretty close, He hung out with me alot because i looked alot like his wife. I might add i did look very girly. One day Mark was drunk and he was telling me about his wife. He was comparing me to her. He was rubbing his hands on my legs and saying how they were just like her. He was completely wasted, he took out his phone and starting playing videos https://japaneseporn.love/ . The videos he had recorded his wife fucking, at first i couldnt stop but notice his long and thick 8 inch monster, but then i realized his wife had a cock. There were series of questions in my head like was she a trans, or was it a boy. Mark was drunk and so i questioned him about her, and after series of question his tongue slipped, he told me that she was actually a boy who cross dressed, and that he was also gay. He had sex with multiple boys my age before he settled down. After he dozed off i left thinking is he gay? or more importantly will he fuck me if i let him? I wanted to try something with him but had to wait for a perfect opportunity.
