Today’s letter from the Overwatch League Commissioner, Nate Nanzer, shows the it might be a real deal after-all. The league has begun the work on having a scouting report of pro players from around the world, which will be available to all Overwatch League team owners.
The league has sent out an email survey today to players, asking them if they want to be part of the league. If they do, the mail also request them to relate “their experiences and preferences and to grant permission to the Overwatch League to share their information with team owners.”
To be a player you must have a Blizzard account in good standing, be of legal age in your nation. You also must meet the the other criteria below:
- A top-500 finish in Competitive Play (based on Skill Rating) in Overwatch Seasons 3 or 4 for any region
- A playoff finish in recent high-caliber tournaments such as APEX Season 2 or Premier Series 2017 Spring, or an invitation to Pacific Championship 2017 Season 1
- Other distinguishing qualifications indicative of top-tier talent, including but not limited to membership on an established professional Overwatch team
Please note getting the survey e-mail does not guarantee a spot on an Overwatch League roster. More news about the League should be coming soon.
