Overwatch League’s best team stunningly eliminated first in 2023 season playoffs
The second day of the Overwatch League playoffs began with the Watchpoint desk announcing the DPS and support role stars, with four of the five Atlanta Reign players earning their recognition. That ended up being the only thing the Reign won in Toronto.
The Reign, the No. 1 seed and much-predicted eventual champions, became the first squad to be eliminated from the OWL 2023 playoffs when they were swept by the London Spitfire. Despite their regional and international dominance over the entire year, the team struggled to adapt to their opposition in the new meta, leading to two consecutive and brutal losses to end a season in which they had never previously lost two times in a row.
