The Atlantic Division wins the 2019 Overwatch League All-Star Game
The 2019 All-Star Overwatch League Game between the Atlantic and Pacific Divisions was won by the Atlantic, while the 1v1 Widowmaker event was won by the Pacific Division’s Diem.
If you had no idea this was going on, don’t worry, I didn’t either, although I think that’s because I forgot. In a best of four series the Atlantic Division roared into a 3-0 lead before the Atlantic Division pulled a game back with Dorado before finally succumbing to their opponents.
The Pacific Division’s Diem from the Shanghai Dragons won the Widowmaker 1v1 event after taking down San Francisco Shock’s Viol2t and Seoul Dynasty’s Fleta to advance to the finals where he beat San Francisco Shock’s Nenne and take the competition. Nenne had to break his way through Philadelphia Fusion’s Carpe and his own teammate Pine to get there.
In a twist the Pacific Division earned some bragging rights by beating the Atlantic Division 3-1 in the All-Star Arcade. The winning team won on Sibling Rivalry (6v6 Genji’s and Hanzo’s per team), Healers Never Die (6v6 Supports only) and Keeping the Peace (6v6 McCree only) while Atlantic took Terrible, Terrible Damage (6v6 Damage only). Finally the Overwatch League casting team split off into two teams and at the end the Atlantic Division won, lead by Brennon Hook.
The regular season returns on Thursday June 6, and you’ll be able to catch all the action on the official Twitch channel.
