France and China have already qualified for the Overwatch World Cup event at BlizzCon in November. Now it’s time to determine the next two teams making the journey to Anaheim, Calif.
Eight national Overwatch teams will square off in three days of Overwatch World Cup group play from July 20 to July 23 in Sydney’s Star Event Centre. Sweden, Australia, Italy, and Portugal will compete in Group C, with Finland, Japan, Spain, and Vietnam rounding out Group D. The tournament format is the same as with the Shanghai event: After three days of group play, the top two teams from each will move on to the Sydney playoffs.
