ESports Releases 2020 Peach Belt Conference Overwatch Schedule

AUGUSTA, Ga. - The Coker University ESports team released its 2020 Overwatch Schedule today (Friday, Sept. 11) as announced by the Peach Belt Conference.

 Published by Blizzard Entertainment, Overwatch is a fast-paced futuristic first-person game featuring two teams of six facing off head-to-head. Taking place on a near-future Earth, players choose a 'hero' character to control, each with their own unique abilities and roles. Matches are played on a variety of maps with different game modes where teams are tasked with defending territory, securing an objective or escorting a payload. Teams must work together, constantly adjusting their strategies based on the map and the characteristics of their selected Heroes.

"After competing in League of Legends last year, I'm excited to have rematches in Overwatch against all the teams we faced," said Head Coach Joe Rudy. "The Peach Belt Conference put on a fantastic league last year, and I'm excited for more matches."

The Cobras open conference play against Clayton State on Sept. 26, before facing Columbus State on Oct. 3. The Cobras will face Florida Southern on Oct. 10, before taking on Georgia College on Oct. 17 and Hawaii Pacific the following day on Oct. 18. The Cobras will face Henderson State on Oct. 24, before facing Montevallo on Halloween (Oct. 31). The Cobras will finish out the regular season against North Georgia on Nov. 7 and USC Aiken on Nov. 14, before the Peach Belt Conference tournament which runs from Nov. 20-22.
