Both starting squads are pretty interesting in that they are basically modified versions of existing teams; the Seoul Dynasty make up three of the six starters for the Pacific Division while four of the six starters for the Atlantic Division are from the New York Excelsior. It is no surprise considering Fissure (Dynasty), Fleta (Dynasty), Jjonak (Excelsior and OWL MVP), Saebyeolbe (Excelsior), and Pine (Excelsior) are some of the best players in the world as well as fan-favorites.
The Overwatch League All-Star Weekend will be held at the Blizzard Arena in Los Angeles, California. It all begins on Saturday, August 25, at 4 pm PDT where players will have to test their skill in a series of custom skill matches. The action continues Sunday, August 26, at 11 am PDT, with the actual All-Star Game.
You can catch all of this week's competitive Overwatch play on Twitch, MLG, and the official Overwatch League website. If you have Disney XD or ESPN3, both channels will be broadcasting the event from 4 pm to 10 pm PDT on Saturday and 11 am to 2 pm PDT on Sunday.
