Waching daily Nov 27 2017

In 2017, we witnessed the highest levels

of Overwatch competitive play in China, Korea, Asia-Pacific,

and in Overwatch Contenders in North America and Europe.

All stories have a beginning,

and this was the first chapter for Overwatch esports.

In 2018, the story continues.

The Overwatch League will be in full swing at the top of the ecosystem,

and underneath it will be an expanded Contenders program.

Contenders will operate in seven regions globally,

by embracing current regional leagues and launching new ones.

Each year will have three seasons,

wherein players will fight for prize money, bragging rights,

and the opportunity to be noticed by Overwatch League teams.

Even the strongest players' journeys begin in online competitive play

and heroes, the path is open.

Players who reach the necessary ranks

will be eligible to compete in the Overwatch Open Division

where they will face off against teams of similar skill.

Those who dominate the Open Division

will then be eligible to compete in Contenders Trials,

a promotion/relegation tournament that will occur

at the end of each Overwatch Contenders season,

to ensure the best up-and-coming talent is always on display.

It all starts in early 2018,

whether you're a solo-queue superstar, a Contender

or somewhere in between, this is your Path to Pro.

Your story begins here.
