The Sydney leg of the Overwatch World Cup has been detailed

Blizzard today detailed the Sydney leg of the Overwatch World Cup.

Taking place over 21-23 July at The Star Event Centre in Sydney, the event serves as a Group Stage qualifier for the 2017 World Cup. Two placements in the World Cup Final, to be held at BlizzCon this November, are up for grabs.

Group C of the event will feature Australia, Sweden, Italy and Portugal. Group D features Finland, Japan, Spain and Vietnam. Each group will take place in an initial round robin, with the top two teams in each group heading to a single-elimination match.

Overwatch is currently available on Windows PC, Xbox One and PS4. The game recently started up its fifth in-game competitive season. Better still, Overwatch is offering double XP all weekend.
