Casual scrims took place between Overwatch League teams on Saturday, February 9 and Sunday, February 10. All 20 teams, including the new expansion teams, got the chance to play.

There were also 1v1 Ashe and Ana matches between Overwatch League players and Capture the flag between teams.

The buildup to the regular season continues, with a 6v6 showmatch between Overwatch League talent and streamers tonight at 6 PM PST.

The match should hold over Overwatch League fans, who have gone over 200 days without an official League match, for another very long 24 hours.

Wednesday’s matches will take place on the official Overwatch League Twitch channel, but there’s no word on whether or not viewers will receive Overwatch League Tokens for tuning in.
