Number six-seed Philadelphia swept top-seeded New York Excelsior 2-0 on Saturday night at Blizzard Arena Los Angeles to advance to the Grand Finals. There, they’ll face number five-seed London, who upset the Pacific Division-winning Los Angeles Valiant on Friday night, taking the best-of-three series 2-0.

Following the Philadelphia-New York semifinal, the Overwatch League’s championship trophy—inspired by Reinhardt—was revealed by Overwatch Game Director Jeff Kaplan. The trophy will be presented to the winning team after next week’s Grand Finals.
