Despite all the coronavirus issues, controversy, and a noticeable loss of fan interest, the Overwatch League is going strong into its third – Season . The battle of the world’s best teams has left the regular – Season behind and entered the exciting phase of the playoffs, after which only the best of the best remain.

To put the cherry on top of it all, the team that was only considered a meme in the inaugural – Season of the OWL is now comfortably on top and could very well snatch the trophy, silencing all the naysayers once and for all.

The first of the three playoff weekends is now history and the results are in. After many intense battles and several twists between September 3 and 6, 10 teams have made it. They are by far the best in the league and each of them has a realistic chance to advance to the next round – even the shaky candidates Florida Mayhem and Atlanta Reign.

Overwatch

Overwatch is a computer game by Blizzard Entertainment (Diablo 3, World of Warcraft) and a first-person shooter with individual fantasy elements. The game was released in May 2016.

In Overwatch, the player must choose between 21 unique characters, which can be freely selected in a loosely held classification system (offensive and defensive class, support unit and tanks).

A character’s three to four different abilities can be controlled and activated through the mouse and keyboard. The game modes already vary from scoring points to cargo hauling. Team play is required in both modes, as each character takes on a specific role in the battlefield (e.g. heal teammates, provide backup, or secure defensive lines).

The name Overwatch derives itself from a fictional elite military unit that came together when robots tried to subjugate humanity in a near future. Individual characters are associated with this unit in the game, while others oppose it. It is not yet known whether the storyline will continue in multiplayer.

Brawl

Brawl is a game mode in which time-limited rule variations of the well-known modes are drawn. Sometimes completely new game modes are used in Brawls.

Rule variations include, for example, the restriction to certain heroes or classes, changes to the cool-down times or certain cards. New game modes that have been playable so far include a soccer game and a PvE mode.

Usually, Brawls are restarted as Brawl of the Week every Tuesday at 22:00 UTC and are then playable for a week. On certain occasions, such as – Season al events, Brawls may also be playable for a longer or shorter period of time.

The game mode is comparable to the card chaos from Hearthstone and was activated for the first time in the beta phase on March 22, 2016 through a patch.
