Overwatch is a cooperative, team-oriented first-person shooter launched by Blizzard Entertainment in 2016. Although Blizzard was already known for major franchises like Starcraft, Warcraft and Diablo, Overwatch became the developer’s first brand-new property in more than ten years. The project originated from Blizzard’s cancelled MMO Titan, which had been designed as a successor to World of Warcraft before development difficulties forced its shutdown. Blizzard reused portions of Titan’s concepts, turning them into a roster of vibrant heroes with detailed lore for Overwatch.
This hero-focused shooter resembles titles such as Apex Legends, VALORANT and Call of Duty. Players are placed into teams of six and sent to various maps and locations throughout the futuristic Overwatch setting, where both sides must defeat one another and complete objectives to secure victory. There are 29 maps in total, some inspired by real-world areas, as well as eight different game modes.

When Blizzard envisioned Overwatch, the team had a lot more in mind than a shelf-clearing title. What the company wanted to achieve was a professional esports league that aligned esports with a franchise model common to traditional sports in North America. Other esport titles, like CS:GO and VALORANT, have teams that are usually identified by a single game and company. The Overwatch League, on the other hand, seeks to tie teams to geographic locations to build a market that inspires hometown loyalties. The league plays in the regular season and play-offs, rather than with the use of a promotion and relegation format common to other esports and non-NA sports leagues. Players compete in permanent, city-based teams and are assured a minimum annual salary, benefits, a portion of winnings and revenue shares based on the teams’ performance. The league’s inaugural season featured 12 teams across three continents, and the prize pool totaled to $3.5 million.
All teams in the OWL play scheduled games against other teams, vying for a spot in the season’s play-offs. Usually, there are 20 teams split between two conferences with two divisions each. The 2020 season introduced a number of changes, primarily due to the COVID-19 pandemic, eventually leading to a bimonthly tournament-based season.
The regular season begins in April and runs through August, with the Play-in stage commencing in early September. The season culminates in the play-offs and finals, held at the end of September.
Prior to the global pandemic, the Overwatch World Cup was another explosive event held at the end of the season; however, the competition was suspended and its future remains uncertain.
Overwatch Contenders is the penultimate step in an Overwatch player’s path to pro play. Professional Overwatch players who aspire to make it to the Overwatch League can participate in a series of high-level tournaments called Contenders. There are five Contenders regions; in each region, the teams can qualify for Contenders through regional Open Division programs. At the end of the season, the top four Open Division teams from each region qualify for that region’s Contenders Trials — a promotion-relegation tournament.
At LV BET, you can enjoy Overwatch online betting with markets in the Contenders series, including Trials. One thing to note is that the Open Division and the Trials do not occur simultaneously across all participating regions, so you will come across Contenders betting markets throughout the year.
