With Phase 2 of the Overwatch World Cup program concluded, it’s now time for Phase 3—player selection. Teams will have from June 13–July 14 to hold player tryouts and craft the perfect roster to represent their nation. Rules and Team Guide will be provided to the teams directly early in this next stage in order to allow them to build their rosters, with full awareness of the competition rules, prizing details, travel and hospitality scope of support, and etc.

Committees will submit their potential player list on or before July 14, which may contain up to 12 players, for Blizzard to verify and approve. The committee will select and confirm the final 7 players and committee members who will travel to the live event and receive complimentary access to BlizzCon by July 26.
