Overwatch League Playoffs begin

The Overwatch League Playoffs have finally arrived! Coming to you live from Toronto, the action is just minutes away as the Hangzhou Spark take on the Atlanta Reign to kick things off, at 10am PT / 1pm ET on YouTube. The final 8 teams will be battling it out over the next four days in front of a raucous crowd for the chance to raise the Grand Finals trophy on Sunday.

While the teams square off looking to secure vital wins, fans at home will be winning as well, as they’ll have the opportunity to earn drops all week long, including a spray, a skin, and battle pass tier skips for Overwatch 2.

And finally, the best Overwatch play in the world won’t be the only thing on display this week, as the Overwatch League desk will be joined by Executive Producer Jared Neuss and Game Director Aaron Keller of the Overwatch 2 team for a deep dive on the new map, Samoa! Not only will they shed some light on the inspiration and design of the map, but fans will then be able to see the map in action as some surprise content creators take the stage to show off their skills.
