The Grand Finals’ grand prize of $1,000,000 up for grabs, the playoffs are going to be intense for the LAN event!
The Playoffs and Grand Final will be help at the Mattamy Athletic Centre in Toronto, ON, Canada. Fans will be able to watch all the matches live in the arena! The Playoffs will be on Thursday, September 28 through Saturday, September 30. While the actual Grand Finals will be on Sunday, October 1st.
Tickets will go on sale at the end of July. July 21 at 9am PT will be for purchasing the pre-sale preferred tickets which are VIP+Floor. While on July 28th at 9am PT will be the sale of general admission tickets.
There is a change-up from last season’s Grand Finals. When the play-in tournaments are done, the top 5 teams in the West region and top 3 teams in the East region will be drafted into groups of four. There will then be a two concurrent double-elimination brackets that teams will compete in to determine the top 2 teams from each group.
Those four teams that advance from these groups will move on to the single-elimination Grand Finals bracket. Both of the matches from this bracket will be occurring on Sunday, October 1 and culminating with the crowning of the Overwatch League’s newest champion!
Summer Stage is about to kick off that will determine the teams that will be participating at the end of the regular season. All teams will be looking to get some early wins so that they can secure their ticket to Toronto!
