Exhibition Matches
Two teams of Lúcios battle to boop a huge ball into an even huger net.
The Atlantic and Pacific teams will compete in a 3v3 best-of-three series using standard
Lúcioball settings on the Busan Lúcioball Arena map. Each match will last five minutes. If
a match is tied at the end of five minutes, then the next goal wins.
- Best-of-three series between Atlantic and Pacific divisions
- Each map is five minutes long
- Standard Lúcioball settings
Each time a player respawns, they are assigned a different random hero.
Atlantic will face Pacific in a Best-of-three series for honor and glory.
The Atlantic and Pacific teams will compete in a 6v6 Mystery Heroes game using standard
competitive settings in a best-of-three series on control maps Ilios, Lijiang Tower, and
Nepal. For Mystery Heroes, players will be assigned a random hero at the start of each
map, and a new random hero on each respawn.

Top Widowmaker players from the Atlantic and Pacific divisions will compete in a
1v1 Headshots Only Elimination bracket.
The Atlantic and Pacific coaches will select their four best Widowmaker players for this
mini-tournament. The four players from each squad will compete head-to-head until
there’s one Atlantic and one Pacific champion. The two champions will face off in the final.
The winner for all matches prior to the final will be first player to reach five eliminations.
The final will be decided by the first to seven eliminations. Eliminations are headshot only,
and automatic firing will be disabled. There will be no capture points, but after 30 seconds
player locations will be visible to both players. A match will result in a draw after five
minutes. This mode will be played on Castillo (quarterfinals), Necropolis (semifinals), and
Ecopoint: Antartica (final).
- Quarterfinal and Semifinal matches are first to five eliminations.
- Finals are first to seven eliminations.
Atlantic and Pacific Division coaches will draft teams of Overwatch League casters and analysts for a best-of-three series with standard
competitive game settings.
Prior to All-Star Weekend, the Atlantic and Pacific coaches will draft two teams of casters
and analysts. (Keep an eye on our social channels for draft results!) The two teams will
square off in a 6v6 best-of-three series using standard competitive settings. The first map
played will be King’s Row (hybrid). The team that loses the first map gets to select the
second map. If the series is tied 1-1, a game of Lúcioball will be the tiebreaker. If the
Lúcioball match is tied after five minutes, the next goal wins. Overwatch League players
will help call the game along with the casters and analysts not playing.
- Players will help cast the match
- Standard competitive game settings
The Atlantic Division will face the Pacific Division in a best of three Lockout Elimination series.
