Australian free-to-air channel 7mate will air a portion of the Sydney leg of the Overwatch World Cup, it was today revealed.

A single match from this weekend’s event will be broadcast: Australia versus Sweden. The event will be broadcast live from 11.30 am AEST on Sunday, 23 July, ahead of the AFL’s Richmond versus GWS at 1.10 pm AEST.

The match will be hosted by 7mate’s new gaming show, screenPLAY.

Sydney’s portion of the Overwatch World Cup takes place over 21-23 July at The Star Event Centre in Sydney. Two placements in the World Cup Final, to be held at BlizzCon this November, are up for grabs.

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.
