Will overwatch 2 start a new league

I’m an aspiring esport player and a 1 week newbie. The league is a big thing so when overwatch 2 come out all pro will naturally switch. so what will happen to the original OWL will it continue or will all the team start from the bottom.

Greetings, to our knowledge the current Blizzard esport system for Overwatch is expected to continue which starts at the Path to Pro series of tournaments including Open Division, Contenders Trials, and Contenders. Even when Overwatch 2 launches since the PVP game is planned to be relatively unchanged short of new heroes, maps and map types. Note, while it is not technically required, it is recommended that your skills as a player can reach the Grand Master skill tier in the Overwatch Competitive Play game mode on the live game.
