The 12th week of the Overwatch League brings a rivalry rematch and opens new betting markets at two legal online sportsbooks in Nevada. The addition to the portfolio has made esports betting in NV more vibrant than ever before.
Online sportsbooks from Caesars and William Hill are offering markets on the upcoming Saturday match between Atlanta Reign and Philadelphia Fusion, along with other games. These remote competitions promise to provide exciting action for both bettors and fans.

Nevada esports betting markets on Saturday’s Overwatch League matches
The Overwatch League has scheduled five matches for Saturday, April 25. In response, both Caesars and William Hill are offering betting options for all five games.
The markets at the two books do not differ much. For instance, as of Friday morning, they both merely offer straight bets on the five matches, with no props, spreads, or totals available.
Both books may find the safest bet to be the -220 on Philadelphia over Atlanta. There are multiple reasons to place a wager on the Fusion.
Firstly, Philadelphia has already defeated the Reign once this season. During Week 10, Atlanta failed to complete a reverse-sweep, with the Fusion securing a 3-2 victory.
Philadelphia has suffered only one defeat this season, which can be attributed largely to the exceptional performances of Jae-Hyeok “Carpe” Lee in Tracer and Widowmaker games.
The double All-Star in a damage role is not only the first player in the league’s history to register 4,000 eliminations. It is entirely justified for anyone to regard him as the current best player in the OWL.
Atlanta is particularly determined to make amends for their Week 10 performance, however, the Fusion are currently performing well due to Carpe. If you’re in search of a choice with superior odds, consider the Hangzhou Spark at +285.

Handicapping Hangzhou vs. Seoul for Week 12
This week, their opponent is the Seoul Dynasty, who have only participated in two matches this season, both against the two franchises from Los Angeles. So far in 2020, both the Gladiators and the Valiant have lost more maps than they have secured.
This is also applicable to Hangzhou, however, the Spark has encountered tougher competition in its seven matches. Hangzhou boasts more experience in playing as a team this season and for this reason, it stands a greater chance of causing an upset on Saturday.
To catch the live action of that match, you can tune into the Overwatch League YouTube account. However, be prepared to rise quite early.
Since these matches are being held remotely, the times are relevant to the teams’ locations. The match between Hangzhou and Seoul will kick off this Saturday’s action at 1 a.m. Pacific Time.
Despite the coronavirus pandemic, esports continues to progress with premier games such as these OWL events. The Nevada Gaming Control Board has also been highly supportive of sportsbooks’ interest in these activities.
This weekend, both experienced esports betters and novices will have the chance to legally place bets on OWL matches in NV for the first time. Hopefully, this will establish a new regular betting activity in the state.
