La saison 2018 de l'Overwatch League a été la saison inaugurale de l'Overwatch League, qui a débuté le 10 janvier 2018. Les matchs de la saison régulière se poursuivront jusqu'au 16 juin 2018, tandis que les matchs éliminatoires des playoffs auront lieu du 11 au 28 juillet 2018. Un "Week-End All-Star aura lieu après la saison du 10 au 12 août 2018.

Format[modifier | modifier le code]

The season's format and schedule were announced in November 2017. The inaugural season, running from January 10 to July 16, 2018, will take place over four stages, each running five weeks, with a one-week break between each stage. Each regular season week features twelve games, three matches per day from Wednesday to Saturday, with each team playing in two games that week. During stages one and two of season one, at the end of each stage, the top three teams across both divisions, based on their standings in that stage, played a final set of matches to win a US$100,000 prize with the runner-up taking a US$25,000 prize. As of season one stage three, four teams make each stage playoff. The #1 seed chooses their opponent in the first round between the remaining three qualified teams. These matches are played on the final day of the stage[1],[2].

The season's free agency signing window opened on January 22, 2018, and closed on April 3, 2018 (the start of Stage 3). During this period, teams could sign any eligible free agent player or make trades with other teams. Any player on a new team contract before the start of Stage 2 on February 21, 2018 was eligible to player during Stage 2. Otherwise, they had to wait until the start of Stage 3. After April 3, team rosters could not be changed until after the completion of the post-season games[3].

The post-season playoffs is a single-elimination playoff featuring 6 teams: each division leader, and the next top four teams from both divisions, with their position seeded by their standings[1].

All matches in the inaugural season (excpet for the Grand Finals) will be played at Blizzard Arena, located on the former soundstage for The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson in Burbank, California[4]. Games are broadcast on the Overwatch League's website and through Major League Gaming (owned by Blizzard), and by third-party broadcaster Twitch.tv.

Pre-season[modifier | modifier le code]

Pre-season matches were held from December 6 to 8, 2017. Pre-season matches are exhibition only, and do not count towards the regular season standings. The Philadelphia Fusion had to pull out of pre-season play just before these events, citing "player logistics issues".[5] After pre-season matches, the teams had the following power rankings, according to ESPN:[6]

  1. Seoul Dynasty
  2. London Spitfire
  3. New York Excelsior
  4. Dallas Fuel
  5. Los Angeles Valiant
  6. Florida Mayhem
  7. Houston Outlaws
  8. Los Angeles Gladiators
  9. Shanghai Dragons
  10. San Francisco Shock
  11. Boston Uprising

Viewership[modifier | modifier le code]

The Overwatch League has a two-year exclusive contract for Overwatch League broadcasting. The following statistics are based on aggregated data collected from the English, French, and Korean Twitch channels. Its debut week held an overall peak of 441,000 concurrent viewers, with 392,000 English, 65,000 Korean, and 11,500 French viewers[7].

Regular season[modifier | modifier le code]

A team's standing is based on both their overall match win/loss record, with ties broken by their overall round record.

At the end of Stages 1 and 2, the top three teams overall in the current stage, regardless of division, made the stage playoffs. The first seeded team earned a bye, with the second and third seeded teams playing a best-of-5 series to advance to the stage finals. Beginning with Stage 3 of the 2018 season, Blizzard announced changes to the Stage Playoff format. Introduced was a four-team Stage playoffs going forward, so that both teams in the final match will have played the same number of games on that day. The first seed has the option of selecting their opponent for the first round and has home team advantage, with the remaining two teams assigned based on seed ranking. These stage playoffs have no effect on overall standings and are only for bonus prize money.

Teams' overall standings are used for placement in the post-season playoffs. The top team of each division has an automatic bye into this, while the next top four teams, regardless of division, will fill in the remaining tournament slots.

Stage 2[modifier | modifier le code]

Stage 2 ran from February 21, 2018 to March 24, 2018; for the Stage playoffs, Blizzard took input from players and fans from the Stage 1, and moved all future Stage playoff matches to Sunday, with Stage 2's matches taking place March 25, 2018. This avoids a twelve-hour day of matches, which could see a team playing as many as three different matches in the same day.[9][10] Stage two introduced the Overwatch patch that weakened Mercy's resurrection abilities, which outside of League play had caused her to be played less frequently[11].

Stage 4[modifier | modifier le code]

Stage 4 is expected to run from May 16, 2018 to June 16, 2018, with the Stage playoffs occurring on June 17, 2018. Teams will compete using the version of Overwatch which first introduced the support hero Brigitte into competitive, but prior to a patch that adjusted her strength and which introduced a revamped skill kit for Hanzo. The decision to play on the former patch was made due to a bug in the later patch that could not be fixed before the start of Stage 4[14].

Playoffs[modifier | modifier le code]

After the group stage, the Los Angeles Gladiators earned the right to choose their opponent for the first round of the playoffs. For the first time in this selection process, the team with the best record did not choose the lowest ranked team. They choose their rivals, the Los Angeles Valiant who had the second-best record in this stage. The Valiant won the series in 5 games. In the next series, the two-time Stage Champion New York Excelsior took a quick 2-0 lead against the Dallas Fuel, but the Fuel played much more aggressively after halftime and tied up the series 2-2. Dallas could not complete the reverse sweep, the Excelsior won the series, 3-2. Modèle:4TeamBracket
