Ballarat E-Sports gamer Ben Creanor will playoff in a national META E-Sports grand final for the second straight year.
It will be a chance at redemption for Creanor, who will square off in an NBA2K showdown on Saturday against another top high school gamer.
A win would see him rectify last year's agonising loss in the 2019 championship.

"I got out to a comfortable lead but my opponent ended up coming back towards the end of the third quarter," he told The Courier earlier this year.
Creonor won three out of three playoff games to advance to the decider.

Prior to that he played a 12-round season, which commenced in May.
The video game format allows players to select NBA teams with their current rosters and go head-to-head.
The Lakers have been one of the more popular picks this year, however Creonor opts to use the lesser known Milwaukee Bucks.
He said he liked to play the game with a "defensive-first" mentality.
