The results of the fourth week
The format of the competition throughout the year
The 2022 Overwatch League season won’t be much different from other years; it will consist of four phases (Kickoff Clash, Midseason Madness, Summer Showdown and Countdown Cup) to then give way to the Playoffs. Teams will have to play six games in each phase, so players will have to prove themselves through 24 games for the full season. Each cycle, teams will play six placement matches to determine seeding for the tournament proper. The Kickoff Clash and Summer Showdown will be regional tournaments, Midseason Madness will be a global venue event, and the Countdown Cup, which will serve as the post-season play-off tournament, is also set to be a global venue event.
League Points are also making a comeback, meaning qualifying matches and wins in each tournament can be a deciding factor in the knockout stages. Regarding the elimination stages, the play-ins of the Countdown Cup will allow to finish the teams which will qualify for the championships through these league points.
Clearly, qualifying for the tournaments, as well as the 2022 playoffs, will be based on each team’s total league points. Teams can earn league points through their results in placement matches and tournaments. Each win in placement matches is worth 1 league point, as is each tournament appearance. But, the latter can obtain additional points:
- The second-placed team in each regional tournament gets 2 league points, and the tournament champion team gets 3 league points.
- In the Midseason Madness Global Tournament, the third-placed team will get 2 league points, the second-placed team 3 league points, and the champion 4 league points.

During this season, 20 international teams from two competing regions will tackle 21 weeks of competition to win the title of champions. Below, you can find the schedules of the various matches for this third weekend of competition.
