Nexus Cup is a welcome tournament in the downtime between the Overwatch World Cup and the start of Blizzard’s Overwatch League. There’s been a bit of a tournament drought in the lead-up to the Overwatch League, but our competitive desires will soon be satiated.

Following the start of the Nexus Cup, Blizzard’s Overwatch League begins its preseason exhibition matches on Dec. 6. The regular season kicks off Jan. 10.
