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.

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.
