Gen.G, who operates the Overwatch League team Seoul Dynasty, has revealed that it will play its 2020 Homestand games at the Dongdaemun Design Plaza in South Korea.
The location is a landmark representing Seoul, known for its involvement with the fashion and streetwear scene. This will mark the first time the DDP will host a global esports event
The Overwatch League announced the new home and away format for the 2020 season, requiring each team to host a minimum of two, and a maximum of five, local weekend events. Seoul Dynasty will play OWL home games twice over two days, from March 7 to 8, 2020 and from May 9 to 10, 2020.
Ho-cheol Lee, General Manager of Seoul Dynasty, had this to say:
“It’s an honor to play our Overwatch League 2020 Homestands at DDP, a landmark of Seoul and the dynamics of Korea. It is a great chance for us to introduce Seoul to many global fans who support Seoul Dynasty enthusiastically, as well as those who are not yet esport fans — there will be lots of experiences they will enjoy.”
It's confirmed that the Vancouver Titans, LA Gladiators, LA Valiant, Philadelphia Fusion, Florida Mayhem, NYXL, Washington Justice, Toronto Defiant, Dallas Fuel, Hangzhou Spark, San Francisco Shock, Paris Eternal, Chengdu Hunters and Houston Outlaws have all announced the location of their 2020 Homestand locations.
