Come Nov. 3 and 4, they’ll represent their countries on the biggest Overwatch stage. There’s major pressure to represent individual countries, especially as teams prepare to take on South Korea—the best of the best. It hasn’t been an easy road to the Overwatch World Cup thus far, but any team looking to take down South Korea faces an even larger challenge.

Eight teams—South Korea, United States, United Kingdom, Sweden, China, Australia, France, and Canada—will compete for the world championship title from Nov. 3 to 4 at BlizzCon. The video series is expected to continue as a lead-in to the Overwatch World Cup.

The journey to the Overwatch World Cup began in late March, but in just over a week, a champion will be determined.
