What do Hero Bans mean for Pro Overwatch? – 2025 Season Guide


IMPORTANT: LAN Events have been confirmed 1 hour before I planned on posting this video (of course LOL). 1st LAN Hangzhou, China – 2nd LAN Riyadh, Saudi Arabia – 3rd LAN Stockholm, Sweden. This also means Chinese OW is confirmed and that the 3rd LAN is the only one I got incorrect! I honestly wish I was incorrect about #2, this is a really bad look for Overwatch.

UPDATE #2: 2 Teams will qualify per region. 2 NA, 2 EMEA, 2 China, 2 Asia
