The OWCS will feature regional and international tournaments, with ESL FACEIT Group and WDG running the regional tournaments. The season will start in February, culminating in end-of-year LAN finals in November, with midseason Major events in between. The midseason Major and end-of-year World Finals will be held in DreamHack Dallas and DreamHack Stockholm, respectively.
