This is a change in the format as the Grand Finals in 2022 only had the double-elimination group stage. Last season there were 12 teams total that made it to the Grand Final’s weekend with 6 from each region. This year there will be less teams, with the reduction to eight, but the addition of the 4-team single-elimination bracket right before the Grand Finals.
This new format will give the fans what they want of more great Overwatch to enjoy before the off-season. It will be exciting to see how the drafting process could make or break a team, as the choices will be essential.
