Overwatch is one of the multiplayer team-based first-person shooter video games that has become part of the professional e-sports leagues. Teams of six square off, with the goal of attacking each other or accomplishing a particular objective. Each player chooses one of the 30 available heroes to serve as an avatar. Some heroes serve as Damage characters (primary attackers), Support (bringing healing and other bonuses to the Damage characters) and Tank characters (using high health totals to protect other teammates).

Semifinals
Light Gaming vs Bilibili Gaming (7:00 am ET)
Both of these teams are a round ahead of Week 3, when they were both flushed out of the quarterfinal round. In Week 2, they finished in the top half of the standings but still lost in the first round. In Week 1, Bilibili Gaming went all the way to the finals, while Light Gaming lost in the semis. It’s a bit of a toss up, but I’m going with Bilibili Gaming because of their slight edge in playoff results.
Final Prediction: Bilibili Gaming
The One Winner vs Team CC (9:00 am ET)
Team CC won Week 1, sweeping Bilibili Gaming in the finals. Then they won again in Week 2, beating The One Winner, 3-1, in the finals. They also won Week 3, beating Like This Player, 3-1. So until someone stops Team CC in a playoff, I’m betting on them.
Final Prediction: Team CC
