The Overwatch League has its first inaugural champion in London Spitfire, but now it’s time for the league’s all-stars to go head-to-head.
All-Star Weekend is slated for Aug. 25 and 26 in Burbank, California’s Blizzard Arena Los Angeles. Two teams, one in the Atlantic Division and one from the Pacific Division, will face off to determine which region reigns supreme. Players were voted into the All-Star Weekend events via fan submission, with substitutes chosen by Blizzard and Overwatch League staff. Each team has six starters and 12 reserves.
