Overwatch LeagueThe Overwatch League has revealed that Toronto will play host to the 2023 Playoffs and the Grand Finals in the Fall.
The OWL post-season is coming to Toronto, Canada, to crown a 2023 champion when the best in the East battle the top teams from the West.
On September 28, the final eight teams will descend upon the Mattamy Athletic Centre for a tournament that will last until October 1.
However, this time around, the league is doing something a bit different with its format by drafting teams into two groups of four for a double-elimination bracket.
Overwatch League returns to Toronto with new format
The teams will consist of the top 5 in the west and top 3 in the east. The top two sides from each group will advance to the knockout stages.
From there, the remaining teams will compete in a single-elimination bracket on Grand Finals day to crown a champion, who will take home $1 million.
This isn’t the first time Toronto will be home to a big OWL event as the city hosted the Summer Showdown in 2022.
VIP tickets go on sale July 21 with General Admission available a week later on July 28.
