The Overwatch League 2022 Midseason Madness was a tournament that lasted nearly a full week, from July 18 to 23, with 12 of the OWL teams, featuring a $1,000,000 USD prize pool. We saw West teams travel to the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa to minimize latency to the league’s servers in South Korea, while East teams will play from their home locations.
A couple of days before the Overwatch League’s Midseason Madness tournament qualifiers are set to start once more, the Florida Mayhem is mixing up its roster in major ways that the community did not expect at all at this stage of the event.
In a quick and simple 3-0 sweep, the Los Angeles Gladiators defeated the Atlanta Reign, who were considered dark horses by players and fans alike thanks to them pushing the Florida Mayhem and San Francisco Shock to the loser’s bracket stage. The Gladiators successfully finish qualification for the Overwatch League Kickoff Clash finals, where they will have the chance to bring home their second Overwatch League trophy and close one of the best years the organization has ever had.
