As the second season of the Overwatch League approaches, fans everywhere will be able to watch some of their favorite teams from the inaugural season face off once again. With updated team rosters and new talent all around, these matchups can be quite different than what they were in Season 1. In particular, the NYXL, Valiant, and Fusion all have updated rosters and will be showcasing their newly acquired talent coming up this weekend.

On Saturday December 1st the NYXL will be facing off once again against one of their old rivals, the Philadelphia Fusion. The first time these teams met back in Stage 1 of the League made for ​a very interesting match.​ While New York looked to be nigh-unstoppable in the opening weeks of Season 1, Philadelphia was able to hand them one of their first losses. Like many of the matches between these two power house teams, the score ended 3-2 in a nail biting finish. Since that first set these two teams have managed to keep an even record against each other, with each team having 4 wins. However most recently the Fusion have come out on top, with their latest encounter resulting in a victory for Philly to secure a spot in the Grand Finals of the playoffs. The rivalry between Philadelphia and New York will continue to entertain as they face off once again.

The following day, Sunday December 2nd, the NYXL will take on the Los Angeles Valiant in a ​rematch from the final matches of Season 1.​ This particular matchup has an interesting history - while the NYXL has a winning lifetime record against the Valiant, of their five total matches the most recent two have gone in favor of Los Angeles. With the Valiant getting stronger as the first season progressed, and the NYXL somewhat regressing towards the playoffs, most recently Los Angeles has had the upper hand. While the Valiant may seem favored for this match, things have changed since Season 1 for all teams involved.
