Blizzard today detailed the Overwatch Open Division, a new space that’ll help amateur players reach professional Esports levels.

Those who ranked Master rank or higher in Overwatch‘s fourth competitive season — which ran between 1 March and 29 May — are eligible for the new league. The competition is split into the following regions:

  • Australia and New Zealand
  • Western Europe
  • Eastern Europe
  • North America
  • Latin American (and Spanish Speaking Countries)
  • Brazil
  • Southeast Asia

If you meet the criteria, you’re able to sign up for the first season now; action begins on 4 July.

Overwatch is currently in its fifth competitive season on Windows PC, Xbox One and PS4.

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
