The Overwatch League Stage 3 playoffs will now feature four teams instead of three, Blizzard has confirmed.

This change means the top-seeded team will now longer receive a bye to the Stage Finals, instead gaining the advantage of its choice of opponents in semi-finals action. The four teams who qualify will duke it out for the Stage Finals top two positions, with action taking place to decide the $100,000 USD cash prize.

Overwatch is currently available on Windows PC, Xbox One and PS4. The Overwatch League’s Stage 2 finals recently took place, with the New York Excelsior reigning supreme.

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
