Overwatch Announces the Path to Pro

Blizzard announced more details on the upcoming Overwatch Path to Pro, which is scheduled to debut in 2018. Blizzard described the program as “a system that will provide a path for players of all skill levels to grow as competitors and as teammates.” Sometime in March, Overwatch Contenders will expand beyond North America and Europe, to encompass a total of seven regions, eventually adding Australia and South America. Overwatch APEX, Overwatch Premier Series, and the Overwatch Pacific Championship will become Contenders Korea, Contenders China, and Contenders Pacific. Meanwhile, the Overwatch Open Division will return in January in the same seven regions as Contenders. Starting in February, the top four Open Division teams from each region will be able to compete in that region’s Contenders Trials, an eight-team promotion-relegation tournament for Overwatch Contenders.
