New Overwatch tournament announced with $75k prize pool

It looks like we will be seeing yet another major Overwatch tournament soon, and this time it’s organized by “Masters Gaming Arena” where players will be fighting to get their share of the $75,000 total prize pool in a Grand finale.

A total of four teams will be able to qualify for the LAN finals in London. Starting out with online regional qualifiers in Europe, North America, and Asia, the three qualifying teams from each region will also be joined by one MSI sponsored team, according to the tournament’s news release.
This is due to MSI being the main sponsor of the event. It is, however, unclear what the selection process of said team will look like. No dates have been set for the tournament yet.

The first international Overwatch tournament was dubbed the 2016 ESL Overwatch Atlantic Showdown. Since then several major international LANs have been announced for the title, including a season on TBS’ ELEAGUE and the APAC Premier in China as well as Blizzard’s own world championship Overwatch Cup.
