“After two phases of voting across two months, the competition committees for the Overwatch World Cup have been finalized,” Blizzard wrote on its Overwatch World Cup blog. “Each includes a general manager, coach, and a community lead, who will collectively make decisions regarding each national team’s roster, management, and promotion.”

All Overwatch players from their respective countries voted for the community lead, while only each country’s top 150 players from Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC voted for coaches. Blizzard chose each team’s general manager.

Here’s a selection of the results. (Full results are available on the Overwatch World Cup website.)

United States

  • GM: Scott “Bearhands” Tester, former NYXL general manager
  • Coach: Aaron “Aero” Atkins, Dallas Fuel coach
  • Community Lead: Analynn Dang, Los Angeles Gladiators social media manager

China
