Earlier this month Blizzard announced a voting process to select the best Overwatch players in South Africa to represent the country in the Overwatch World Cup.

After collecting over 3 million votes worldwide, the results are finally in.

The players representing South Africa are as follows:

  1. Marthinus “CarNage” Strydom: Team Captain – 44%
  2. Ruan “Senticall” Potgieter – 43%
  3. Wayne “Visions” Short- 29%
  4. Jacques “Selfmoord” Wentzel – 22%
  5. Sean “sZZ” McCalgan – Captain’s Pick
  6. Thorn “Dup” du Preez – Captain’s Pick

Starting in September, these teams will take part in best-of-three, single-elimination online qualifiers.

Then, at BlizzCon in November, sixteen teams will battle in round-robin group stages and single-elimination finals.

To ensure that all major regions of the world are well-represented at BlizzCon, the sixteen teams competing there will include six from the Europe game region, six from the Asia-Pacific game regions, and four from the Americas.
