After a thrilling sixth season, the Overwatch League comes to a close for 2023. Today, the action ends as the playoffs transition into the Grand Finals. Taking a physical stage here in Toronto, Canada, the Overwatch League 2023 playoffs have boiled down eight teams into an epic showdown between the Florida Mayhem and Houston Outlaws.
Since we last checked in with the Overwatch League back in July, we’ve seen a number of teams eliminated from contention. With the Grand Finals on the horizon, only eight teams remain. The shot at the title has $1 million in prizes, with the year’s best team taking home a cool $400,000 alongside the championship trophy.
The format for the Overwatch League 2023 playoffs doesn’t stray too far from what we’ve seen before, with eight teams being split between two brackets. The double-elimination tournament will go from today, September 28 through Sunday, October 1. The top two teas from each end of the bracket will then advance to the Grand Finals to finish up the weekend.
