Due to the low impact of this match, I will not be tracking the scoreboard or share clips so that I can take a small nap.

2

japan are slightly less terrible

3

South Korea FTW

4

I predict that the winner will be [insert winner here].

5

I hope they play in Rialto. I think I know why it favours the defender, but I need to watch more games.

6

Jake giving Dep too much credit. I honestly think his Widow is weak.

Mikouw is also weak, but on McCree

7

they always play Rialto, literally anything else apart from watchpoint would be better

8

Dep and SamuraiD playing well together with the Tracer/Winston combo.

9

Mikouw wasted blade on purpose. He wanted to use it on Pharah before he switched.

10

Why is Blizzard not advertising this more?

11

Follow the @OverwatchLeague and the @OWPathToPro Twitter feeds. They cover this event extensively.

Eh good thing I woke up from my nap early…

12

That’s cool. But it should be advertised in the Battle.net launcher and on the forums and website.

13

So now not only is there a “Over watch league” now they are doing a “World Cup” When were the teams for each country announced? Who are the players? -.-

14

World Cup has been running since the game launched (now in its third year). It’s unique as all players in each team are from the country they represent (unlike the Overwatch League or other Overwatch esports). Learn more including rosters at http://worldcup.playoverwatch.com.

15

Well, Shanghai Dragons best not recruit any players from Hong Kong this year…
