The Dallas spot was purchased by esports team organization Team EnVyUs and its investor Hersh Interactive Group (which just invested $35 million in the organization). OpTic Gaming grabbed the Houston franchise.
The nine previously announced franchises are in Boston, London, Los Angeles, Miami-Orlando, New York City, San Francisco, Seoul, and Shanghai, with two franchises set in Los Angeles. Team owners include a mix of traditional sports team executives, esports team owners, and media companies.
For the first season, all matches will take place in Los Angeles as teams establish venues in their home cities. Blizzard recently revealed its own esports-centric Blizzard Arena opening in Los Angeles, although Blizzard has not said whether all matches will be played in the arena.
More details about league format, schedules, and tickets will be coming at a later date.
