Coker Esports To Compete in Peach Belt Conference Overwatch Tournament

FULL PEACH BELT CONFERENCE RELEASE  

AUGUSTA, GA- The Coker University Esports Overwatch team is set to matchup against Florida Southern on Friday (Nov. 20) in the Peach Belt Conference Overwatch Tournament.

This has been the first complete regular season of Overwatch for the Peach Belt Conference. The conference announced the full bracket for the 2020 Overwatch Tournament, presented by Studio Architects. The tournament will kick off on Friday (Nov. 20) with four quarterfinal matches. Both the semifinals and the finals will be played on Saturday (Nov. 21).

Columbus State earned the first-place seed after finishing the season with a 9-0 record, while Florida Southern took the two seed with a 8-1 regular season record. Henderson State earned the third seed followed by Montevallo and North Georgia at four and five. 

Coker, Georgia College, and USC Aiken each finished with a 3-6 regular season record and entered into the PBC Tiebreaker. The first step was to form a mini-conference of three teams and look at their head-to-to head results. This did not break the tie as all three were 1-1 against the other two. From there, result against the number one seed was examined, followed by the number two seed.

This tiebreaker placed USC Aiken at the number six spot, Coker at the number seven seed, and Georgia College at number eight.

Each of the quarterfinal matches will be best of three maps. Both the semifinals and finals will be best of five maps. All of the maps and game modes will be assigned by the conference prior to the tournament start.

All quarterfinal matches will be streamed by the respective teams on their individual Twitch channels. Saturday's semifinals and finals will be live streamed on the PBC Twitch Channel.
