By TJ Denzer ·
Overwatch League Season 2 is fast approaching and now the League has finally announced the opening volleys for the coming year of competition. Tickets are now on sale for matches.
We finally have an idea of what the start of Season 2 in the Overwatch League is going to look like. Blizzard and the League have released an opening schedule for matches to kick off the 2019 year of competition. What’s more, fans are going to be treated to a fantastic start with defending champions London Spitfire and Philadelphia Fusion kicking off the OWL Season 2 action.
The schedule was announced via press release and through Overwatch League’s Twitter. Starting on Thursday, February 14, 2019, teams will descend upon the Blizzard Arena in Los Angeles to compete for their spot in the playoffs along the newly formed Atlantic and Pacific Divisions. The first day will host the aforementioned London Spitfire vs Philly Fusion match, followed by New York Excelsior vs Boston Uprising, Seoul Dynasty vs Los Angeles Gladiators, and Shanghai Dragons vs the newly formed Hangzhou Spark. The action will continue through the weekend as players begin their hunt for a piece of the $5 million prize pool in 2019. Tickets can be purchased online at AXS.com/OWL.
