Los Angeles Valiant Announce Overwatch League Playoff Campaign

With their victory in the Overwatch League Stage 4 finals just last week, you would think the Los Angeles Valiant would take some time off to celebrate, perhaps rest up a bit after what was an exciting showdown. It seems, however, that the Valiant are not content to merely claim victory in the Stage finals, but have already begun their campaign to achieve even more glory as we look towards the Overwatch League Inaugural Season Playoffs.

The Los Angeles Valiant have kicked off their preparations by announcing their Live the Legacy Playoff campaign, drawing support from other Los Angeles teams. Teaming up with the Los Angeles Kings from the NHL and the Los Angeles Galaxy from the MLS, the Valiant look to draw on all the power of their hometown in the lead-up to their first semi-final series.

“As a Los Angeles-based team, we aspire to the achievements and excellence of existing iconic sports brands in this city,” said Noah Whinston, Los Angeles Valiant CEO. “Fortunately, we have support from the two-time Stanley Cup champion Los Angeles Kings and five-time MLS Cup champion LA Galaxy who will help the LA Valiant live the Los Angeles championship legacy, and that starts with our Live the Legacy playoff campaign.”

As a part of the campaign, the Kings and Galaxy will be providing co-branded Kings/Valiant and Galaxy/Valiant promotional merchandise, as well as promotional support, fan experiences, and ticket specials. The Valiant will be hosting simultaneous viewing parties throughout southern California, where fans can meet up and celebrate the team together.
