The Summer Showdown results are in and we saw some familiar faces. All the participants have qualified for either the May Melee or June Joust or both prior tournaments. This time the Chengdu Hunters and the Shanghai Dragons represented the East and Atlanta Reign and Dallas Fuel the West.
Unlike prior tournaments, we didn’t see the East and the West clash at the finals. This time the East were supreme with the Ball meta, where the Reign and the Fuel rather stuck to the rush comps and weren’t able to contain the aggressive ball-comps.
Both western teams were relegated from the Semi-Finals to the lower bracket. After a close bout against the Reign, the Fuel managed to pull through but were eventually 3-0’d by the Chengdu Hunters.
Eventually the Shanghai Dragons became the champions by beating the Chengdu Hunters 4-1 in the finals. They are now the only 2-time champions from the 2021 OWL season.
The next tournament is the Countdown cup which will start next week on July the 30rd with the Dallas Fuel and the Paris Eternal. The Eastern region will start 14 hours later with the Hangzhou Spark vs the Seoul Dynasty. During this tournament Echo, Ashe, Sigma & Lucio will be banned from play.

Falcons Esports won Overwatch Contenders July after beating the British Hurricane 4-1. This is their second title after winning the April tournament as ‘New Kings’.

Overwatch Contenders Tournament Operator Monkey Bubble, has released one of their tournament administrators. That person has posted racist remarks a couple of years ago and these messages were found by variety streamer MoneyFolder.
