Overwatch League to host league-wide LAN in APAC region for first time

Ever since the dawn of the competitive Overwatch scene in 2017, South Korea has remained the hotspot for both the best players and some of the best matches in the game’s history. From the APEX tournaments to some of the best Korean Contenders teams developing some of the best talents we’ve seen, the country is known for its Overwatch history. Now, in the sixth season of the Overwatch League, fans will finally see a live tournament with teams from across the world competing in Korea, Blizzard confirmed today.

The upcoming Midseason Madness tournament for the Overwatch League 2023 season will be hosted in Seoul, South Korea, marking the first league-wide LAN in the Asia-Pacific region. Official tournaments have been held in South Korea before, but only for the Eastern division teams. So now, the best Western teams will travel to Korea to fight for the Midseason Madness title.
