Blizzard's Overwatch League events this March, April won't be happening

While Overwatch League matches will continue, the events scheduled for March and April have been cancelled due to novel coronavirus (COVID-19) concerns. Blizzard announced that it's still planning when or where the games will be made up in the future.

Apple previously said it didn't recommend using these products because they might scratch the display, but now it's singing a different tune.
