With the previous winners of King of the Watch absent this week, Prets looks to claim the throne for themselves. However, The Gatekeepers and ExAequo will fight for a chance to gain recognition, and claim a title.

King of the Watch is a format that gives lesser known teams a chance to compete against some of the top dogs in Overwatch. This week features a match between The Gatekeepers and ExAequo in a Best of 3 to have a shot at taking down a more well known team in Prets. ExAequo managed to bring down Prets once before, so we will see if they can repeat in their matches today.
