The teams receive got been chosen, the players signed, together with right away the Overwatch League is attain to go. The preseason starts on Dec 6, together with yesterday Blizzard revealed all the details almost how the flavor volition pan out. Each of the 12 teams volition play twoscore games betwixt Jan together with June earlier one-half of them become far into the month-long postal service season. The winner, taking abode a handy $1 1000000 for the entitle game, volition hold upwardly crowned on July 28.
The season is made upwardly of 4 stages, each 5 weeks long. During these stages at that spot volition hold upwardly 3 matches a day, 4 days a calendar week (Wednesday through Saturday). So, if yous desire to spotter at that spot volition e'er hold upwardly something to enjoy. Each agree inward the league volition receive got identify across a gear upwardly of 4 maps, leaving the door opened upwardly for draws.
At the destination of each phase at that spot volition hold upwardly a playoff based on a team's tape during that stream (the winner volition receive got $125,000) together with and thus a 10-day interruption earlier the side yesteryear side batch of games begin. The overall league standings are based on a team's tape across all stages.
Got that? Okay, because right away it gets a niggling complicated. The League is broken into 2 divisions: Pacific together with Atlantic. The Pacific Division is made upwardly of West coast the U.S. teams together with the 2 Asian sides, together with the Atlantic Division consists of the East coast teams addition London Spitfire. Teams volition play xx games inside their sectionalization together with xx games cross-division.
The piece of job yesteryear squad inward each sectionalization goes into the postal service flavor together with gets a farewell week, together with they're joined yesteryear the 4 teams amongst the best record, regardless of division. So yous could theoretically larn a lopsided postseason.
The full prize puddle is $3.5m, together with yous tin can come across just how that breaks downwardly on Blizzard's announcement post. Oh, together with all the matches are happening inward Los Angeles because teams don't all the same receive got venues inward their 'home' cities.
