With Week 4 of the 2020 Overwatch Contenders 2020 Season 1 Europe rolling right along, now is a perfect time to find out who’s in action in the Round of 12 on Thursday, May 21 and which teams are offering the best value against their respective Overwatch odds.
Overwatch Contenders EU May 21st Matches
Ex Oblivione vs. HSL Sports
Ex Oblivione is sitting in sixth place in the standings, though they didn’t compete in Week 1. In Week 2, Oblivione recorded a pair of impressive wins to reach the semis before falling to Young and Beautiful 3:1. In Week 3, Ex Oblivione was smacked around in their opener 3:1 against Disaster.
HSL is sitting in 13th place in the standings. In Week 1, they suffered a hard-fought 3:2 loss against Sheer Cold in their opener. In Week 2, they also took a loss in their opener, this time, falling to Oblivione 3:1. HSL sat out Week 3 and now they’re desperate.
Prediction
I wouldn’t put a whole lot of guesswork into this pick, seeing as how Oblivione smacked HSL around the last time they met and Oblivione comes into this contest having lost consecutive openers. Keep it simple and go with the more consistent Ex Oblivione.
Pick: Ex Oblivione 3:1

Shu’s Money Crew EU vs. Chaos Insurgency
Shu’s Money Crew EU is sitting in fifth place in the standings. In Week 1, Shu’s recorded a trio of impressive 3:1 wins to reach the finals before falling to British Hurricane 3:2 in the finals. In Week 2, they lost their opener 3:2 against Young and Beautiful. In Week 3, they opened with a 3:1 win over VASTA before falling to British Hurricane 3:0 in the quarterfinal round. Chaos Insurgency is sitting in an uninspiring 13th place in the standings as they get set to make their Overwatch Contenders EU debut in this affair.
Prediction
Chaos Insurgency is staring at a massive uphill battle in order to get past a Shu’s Money Crew squad that recorded three straight impressive 3:1 wins and was one victory away from winning the Week 1 championship. Chaos is the huge underdog in this affair and I’m not expecting this one to be close. Back the favorite to get it done in this one!
Pick: Shu’s Money Crew 3:1
