We start off with a look at this week’s news as the recent Activision Blizzard law continues to gain steam and teams around the league promote and donate to different women’s causes. We talk about the recent timeline of events with the company and how the story may continue to play out over the coming months. Next we recap the past week of Overwatch League action, covering all of the major moments, player performances and huge plays from the first week of Countdown Cup qualifiers. We go on to preview next week’s games and pick out our highlight matches as teams battle to secure playoff seeding. We wrap up with a look ahead to awards season, as we make our predictions for which players and staff are frontrunners for MVP, Rookie of the Year and other awards.
