Spacestation, LuneX, Liquid win opening-day matches at OWCS Stage 2
Spacestation Gaming, LuneX Gaming and Team Liquid all won on the opening day of regular-season play for Stage 2 of North American qualifying for the Overwatch Champions Series on Saturday.
Spacestation and LuneX are tied atop the standings after delivering 3-0 wins on Day 1 over Dallas Fuel and The Kafe, respectively. Liquid is in solo third, behind marginally on match differential, after a 3-1 defeat of Disguised, which is alone in fourth.
The six teams in contention will engage in round-robin matches during the regular season, with the top four qualifying for the regional playoffs, which will be double-elimination. All matches are best-of-five until the grand final, which will be best-of-seven.
In addition to the $75,000 prize pool, the top four Stage 2 finishers will advance to Stage 3. The three finishers will also qualify for the Midseason Championship.
Spacestation Gaming completed its sweep of Dallas Fuel with a 2-0 win on Ilios, a 3-1 Dorado triumph and a 3-1 victory on Suravasa.
LuneX Gaming similarly wrapped up a sweep of The Kafe with a 2-0 win on Antarctic Peninsula, a 5-4 battle on Dorado and a 3-2 victory on New Junk City.
Disguised opened its match with a narrow 2-1 Oasis win before Team Liquid surged back with a 3-1 New Junk City win followed by triumphs on Dorado (1-0) and Numbani (3-1) to win on Day 1.
