Stage 1 is over and done with, but Stage 2 of the Overwatch League is now upon us. New player signings have been made, team trades have happened, metas have changed, and it’s time for a whole new competitive scene to take place. Stage 2 of the League will run until March 26, where the top teams will compete for a playoffs title. From now until then, we’ll be seeing three matches per day from Wednesday to Saturday.
With the Shanghai Dragons signing a few new players, including off-tank and DPS roles, we should start to see a bit of an upswing in their performance. They’ve got a match coming up against the Dallas Fuel, and we’ll see if this first match marks a comeback for either of these faltering competitors. The Houston Outlaws will be getting a rematch against the London Spitfire, and so will the New York Excelsior. These teams gave us quite a show during the Stage 1 playoffs, and with the Mercy and Junkrat changes now in place, it’ll be fun to see how they stack up against each other.
We’ll be updating this post with the map results for each match-up, along with the team standings, as the week goes on, so be sure to check back for more up-to-date information.
