The Overwatch Summer Games event is set to kick off on August 9th and will be the third year running for the sunny celebration. Not only will Lucioball be returning for the event, but Blizzard have designed a new map set in Busan, South Korea, for players to clash in.
For players not currently in a North American college, the Lucioball competitive ladder will be returning as well. While there has not yet been confirmation of a new Lucioball Season Ladder, it seems unlikely that Blizzard would omit one for this year.
