New York Excelsior Makes History And Becomes First New York City Team To Host A Home Match

It was a historic weekend for the New York Esports scene as the NY Excelsior had their first ever Overwatch League homestand where they dominated. This also marked the first time a New York City Esports team hosted a home match and the second team will be the Subliners of the Call of Duty League.

The Excelsior defeated the London Spitfire 3-1 in front of a sold-out crowd at the iconic Hammerstein Ballroom to kick-off the third season of the Overwatch League. Then, closed out their historic weekend defeating the Boston Uprising 3-0 in front of a sold-out crowd.

During this homestand the Dallas Fuel were also hosting their home opener which included the Vancouver Titans, Los Angeles Valiant, Los Angeles Gladiators, and the San Francisco Shock.
