NYXL is one of six teams competing for Overwatch League’s inaugural season championship title. Because of their placement in the regular season, NYXL got a bye in the quarterfinals and has automatically advanced to the semis. They’ll just have to win one match to move onto the grand finals in New York, which would make the NYXL Homecoming even sweeter.
The Overwatch League grand finals kick off July 27 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. Playoffs begin July 11 and continue through July 21. Each match leading into the finals event will be held at Blizzard Arena Los Angeles.
