With all six playoff teams decided and the matches slated to kick off in mid-July, the Overwatch League is already looking ahead to its next big event as tickets for three of the four Overwatch World Cup venues have gone on sale.
The venues for the South Korea, United States, and Thailand portions of the World Cup are now on sale, with the France portion going on sale soon. Tickets can be purchased for each event at the links above.
The Overwatch World Cup will begin with Group Stage matches on August 17 in Incheon, South Korea, before moving on to Los Angeles, California (September 7-9), Bangkok, Thailand (September 14-16), and Paris France (September 21-23).

After what has been a resoundingly successful first full season of Overwatch League, we can only assume the Overwatch World Cup will see similar success on a world’s stage. Luckily we’ll only have to wait one short month between the end of the OWL Playoffs and the beginning of the OWWC to keep our Overwatch wheels spinning like a hamster on a wheel. Yeah, that seems like an apt analogy today...
