Overwatch Leagues
Regarded as the first “truly global professional esports league“, the Overwatch League was first announced at BlizzCon in 2016. Featuring franchised teams from all around the world, the Overwatch League initially started with only 12 cities.
The Overwatch League’s Season 1 began on 6th December 2017. Fusion had to opt out due to “player logistic issues”. The Fuel, Valiant and Dynasty found themselves at the top of the league in a three-way tie. Split into four stages, the highlight of the season was Shanghai’s defeat in 40 matches. This is also known as the longest losing streak in sports history. The Grand Finals were held at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. Spitfire closed the series of on Day 2.
The Season 2 of Overwatch League gained eight additional teams and followed the usual four stage format. Six teams qualified for the playoffs and the next six teams clashed in a single-elimination play-in bracket to determine qualifiers into the double-elimination playoffs. San Francisco took Vancouver down 4-0 and took a staggering amount of $1.1 million home.
Season 3 of Overwatch League brought with it the permanence of Homestands. Three days after the Washington Justice’s Homestand all Overwatch League Homestands were cancelled due to Covid-19 outbreak. The matches were continued online from 28th March. The sudden success of May Melee hugely influenced Overwatch League’s return to the previous format. In the Grand Finals San Francisco Shock took down Seoul Dynasty 4-2 and claimed the largest single prize in OWL history.
Season 4 of Overwatch League was bound to be affected by the pandemic. The new season returned with the old tournament format. May Melee, June Joust, Summer Showdown, and Countdown Cup put the skills and abilities of many gamers to test. This season also brought with it League Points. Each win got you a League Point and the higher you placed, the better your tournament rewards got.
