The Overwatch League 2023 play-ins are over, with all the teams officially making their way back home or to Toronto for the playoffs. The happiness that the play-ins teams got by grinding their way to earn a spot is deserved, but a report might make their time in Toronto a lot tougher.
The OWL 2023 Grand Finals look to be on the Sept. 7 patch, meaning that the game balance that teams practiced on through the season’s end and play-ins will be shifted, according to a report from journalist Liz Richardson. This means that teams who just completed their play-ins, like the London Spitfire and Boston Uprising, will have just around a week to practice a new patch before trying to win the most important tournament of the year.
