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:
- Marthinus “CarNage” Strydom: Team Captain – 44%
- Ruan “Senticall” Potgieter – 43%
- Wayne “Visions” Short- 29%
- Jacques “Selfmoord” Wentzel – 22%
- Sean “sZZ” McCalgan – Captain’s Pick
- 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.
