About the brand ❤️
The Los Angeles Gladiators were an American professional esports team based in Los Angeles, California, that competed in the global Overwatch League (OWL) from 2017 until 2023. As one of the twelve founding OWL franchises, the team took part in top-tier Overwatch competition, earning praise for consistent playoff appearances and strong performances in midseason tournaments. Owned by Kroenke Sports & Entertainment, whose portfolio includes major traditional sports franchises, the Gladiators embraced a gladiatorial theme with purple and white colors and a roaring lion logo reflecting strength and competitive spirit. Over their six seasons, they became a recognizable brand in esports and maintained an academy structure through Gladiators Legion in developmental leagues. With the closure of the Overwatch League in 2023, the Los Angeles Gladiators ceased active competition, concluding their chapter as a prominent franchise in professional Overwatch esports.
