The 2021 Overwatch League Grand Finals was the fourth championship match of the Overwatch League (OWL), taking place on September 25, 2021. The series was the conclusion of the 2021 Overwatch League playoffs and was played between the Shanghai Dragons and the Atlanta Reign. The final was originally planned to be played at the Galen Center in Los Angeles, California; however, due to the increasing threat of COVID-19 and the delta variant, the match was shifted to be played online.

Atlanta qualified as the fifth seed and was defeated in the first round by the Chengdu Hunters but went on to defeat the Washington Justice, Los Angeles Gladiators, San Francisco Shock, and Dallas Fuel in the lower bracket.
In the Grand Finals match, the Dragons swept the Reign by a score of 4–0 to win their first OWL championship.
Road to the Grand Finals
The Grand Finals are the post-season championship series of the Overwatch League (OWL), a professional international esports league; the teams in the 2021 Grand Finals match competed for a $2.2 million prize pool, where the winners received $1.5 million. The 2021 season was the fourth season in OWL history and consisted of twenty teams. Owing to the COVID-19 pandemic, most regular season and midseason tournament matches were played online.[1] The playoffs were contested by eight teams – five from the league's West region and three from the league's East region.[2]
The finalists, the Atlanta Reign and the Shanghai Dragons, finished the 2021 regular season with records of 11–5 and 12–4, respectively.[3] The Dragons claimed the top seed in the season playoffs, while the Reign entered as the fifth seed.[4] The two teams faced each other twice throughout the 2021 season – in the June Joust and Summer Showdown tournaments. Both times, the Dragons defeated the Reign by a score of 3–0.[5][6] The defending OWL champions, the San Francisco Shock, were eliminated in the third round of the lower bracket of the season playoffs,[7] while the 2020 runners-up, the Seoul Dynasty, failed to qualify for the 2021 playoffs after being eliminated in the play-in tournament.[8]

The Reign joined the league in 2019 as one of eight expansion teams.[9] After a mediocre 2020 season, the Reign elected to not re-sign all six of their free agents in the offseason, which included damage players Garrett "Saucy" Roland and Joon "Erster" Jeong, tank players Park "Pokpo" Hyun-jun and Nathan "frd" Goebel, and support players Dusttin "Dogman" Bowerman and Anthony "Fire" King.[10] Additionally, the team released damaged player Hugo "SharP" Sahlberg.[11] Atlanta signed two players in the offseason: damage players Oh "Pelican" Se-hyun and Kai "Kai" Collins.[12][13]
The Reign began their 2021 season with a loss to Florida Mayhem in the May Melee qualifiers.[14] After going 1–3 in the May Melee qualifiers, the Reign failed to the regional knockouts.[15] The team found success in the following tournament cycle, the June Joust; after going 3–1 in the qualifiers,[16] the Reign defeated the San Francisco Shock in the regional knockout finals to advance to the June Joust tournament.[17] However, the team lost in the lower bracket finals to the Dragons by a 0–3 scoreline.[5] Atlanta found similar results in the Summer Showdown, defeating the Los Angeles Gladiators in the regional finals to advance to their second consecutive midseason tournament.[18] The Reign ultimately fell in the first round of the lower bracket in a 2–3 loss to the Dallas Fuel.[6] In the final tournament cycle, the Countdown Cup, the Reign qualified for their third consecutive tournament appearance. However, Reign rookie Oh "Pelican" Se-hyun suffered a collapsed lung prior to the tournament.[19] Atlanta fell in the tournament to the Chengdu Hunters by a score of 0–3.[20] The team finished the regular season with 11 wins, 5 losses, 13 league points, and the fifth seed in the season playoffs.[3] Oh "Pelican" Se-hyun was awarded the league's Rookie of the Year award and was an MVP candidate for the 2021 regular season.[21][22]
In the first round of the playoffs, the Reign fell to the third-seeded Chengdu Hunters, 2–3, sending Atlanta to the lower bracket of the tournament.[23] Atlanta ran through the lower bracket, defeating the eighth-seeded Washington Justice, 3–0,[24] the fourth-seeded Los Angeles Gladiators, 3–2[25] the sixth-seeded San Francisco Shock, 3–1,[7] and the second-seeded Dallas Fuel, 3–1.[7]

The Dragons' first match of the 2021 season resulted in a win over the Guangzhou Charge in the May Melee qualifiers.[32] After defeating the Philadelphia Fusion in the Eastern regional knockouts, the Dragons entered the May Melee tournament, the first of four midseason double-elimination tournaments in the regular season, as the second-seeded Eastern team.[33] The team fell to the Dallas Fuel in the upper bracket finals, dropping them to the lower bracket of the tournament; the Dragons reached the finals of the tournament through the lower bracket, where they once again lost to the Fuel.[34] Prior to the start of the June Joust qualifiers, damage player Joon "Erster" Jeong retired.[35] Looking to add depth to their roster, the Dragons signed damage player Lee "WhoRU" Seung-jun several days later.[36] The team won three of their four June Joust qualifying matches to advance them to the regional knockouts.[17] Several days before the knockouts began, the Dragons lost another player to retirement in damage player Bae "Diem" Min-seong;[37] once again looking for depth, the team signed damage player Chae "Develop" Rak-hoon shortly afterwards.[38] The Dragons advanced to the June Joust tournament after defeating the Seoul Dynasty in the regional knockouts.[17] The team lost their first match of the tournament, again to the Fuel;[39] however, after making it to the finals through the lower bracket, the Dragons defeated the Fuel to claim their first title of the 2021 season.[40] The Dragons continued their success throughout the Summer Showdown, winning all four of their qualifying matches and advancing past the regional qualifiers.[18] Prior to the start of the Summer Showdown tournament, the team added former Dragons player Kim "Daemin" Dae-min as a coach.[41] The Dragons went undefeated in the tournament, and after defeating the Chengdu Hunters in the finals, they claimed their second consecutive midseason tournament title.[42] In the final tournament cycle of the regular season, the Countdown Cup, the Dragons went 2–2 in the qualifiers, failing to advance to the regional knockouts for the first time in the season; Dragons' head coach Moon "Moon" Byung-chul stated that they were "resting" their players during the tournament cycle.[43] The team finished the regular season with 12 wins, 4 losses, 20 league points, and the top seed in the season playoffs.[3] Kim "Fleta" Byung-sun, Lee "Lip" Jae-won, and Kim "Izayaki" Min-chul were all MVP candidates for the 2021 regular season.[22] Additionally, Lee "Lip" Jae-won, Kang "Void" Jung-woo, Kim "Izayaki" Min-chul, and Lee "Leejaegon" Jae-gon were awarded Role Star commendations for damage, tank, support, and support, respectively.[44]

The Galen Center in Los Angeles, California was announced as the 2021 OWL Grand Finals host venue on July 20, 2021.[46] The Galen Center opened in 2006 at a cost of $147 million and has a seating capacity of 10,258.[47][48] It is the home arena of the USC Trojans basketball and USC Trojans women's volleyball.[49] The arena has been the site of a number of other notable events, including the premier of High School Musical 3 in 2008,[50] several Nickelodeon's Kids' Choice Awards,[51][52] the League of Legends: Season 2 World Championship,[53] Microsoft's E3 conferences,[54] The X Factor audition stages in 2011 and 2013,[55][56] and the 2015 Teen Choice Awards.[57] It will also be the host of badminton for the 2028 Olympics.[58] Ticket sales for the finals were planned to go on sale in August 2021.[2]
However, the OWL announced on August 25, 2021, that all playoff matches, including the Grand Finals, would not be played in a live format due to increasing risks of COVID-19 and the Delta variant.[59] Instead, to minimize latency between competing teams, the Atlanta Reign team played at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa, while the Shanghai Dragons played in their home country.[60]
