    Get to know your Australian Overwatch World Cup Team 2018

    On the 27th March 2018 competitive fans of Overwatch got the news we’ve all been waiting for. The announcement of the returning Overwatch World Cup for 2018, for the 3rd year in a row.

    Starting in Season 9, Blizzard would track the average Skill Rating (SR) of each countries top 150 players. The top 24 nations at the end of the period would then be invited to compete in the 2018 Overwatch World Cup. With the finals being held in November at non other then BlizzCon itself! After the success of both previous years Overwatch World Cup, it was no surprise how quickly each countries community and players where to get behind it.

    From March to April we saw the Country Qualification period, which saw Australia secure its spot once again in the top 24. You beauty! (Sorry to our cousins in New Zealand who didn’t make it, better luck next year my dudes!)

    Throughout May our committee was established which was made up of General Manager (selected by Blizzard), Coach (selected by the country’s top 150 players) and a Community Lead (which went to an online vote by all players in the country).

    This saw Australia filling the roles with:
    • General Manager: Andrew “RQT” Haws – Former Shotcaller/Captain of the Australian 2017 OWWC team & BLANK Esports
    • Coach: Jordan “Gunba” Graham – Assistant Coach for Los Angeles Valiant & Former support player for the Australian 2017 OWWC team & BLANK Esports
    • Community Lead: Oasis “Oasis” Nip

    June to July saw the top 24 countries run their Player Tryouts to find the best of the best to represent them in the coming group stages. After weeks of trials with Australia’s best (which was also streamed by heaps of the players, an absolutely great watch!) the committee had the difficult task of narrowing down the players to a Top 20, then even further to “The Final 12”
