The Overwatch Road to EGX will also include a series of online cups this summer in order for community teams to qualify for a grand final at EGX 2017, which takes place at the Birmingham NEC from September 21st to 24th.
Prize details will be announced closer to EGX; Esports News UK understands there may be some top PC gear/merch up for grabs as opposed to cash prizes.
The qualifiers are being streamed on Saturday as are some other community matches today (Friday) on the new EGX Twitch channel.
EGX is the name of the annual gaming event that takes place every September now at the Birmingham NEC. It was formerly known as the Eurogamer Expo and is run by Gamer Network, which owns Eurogamer, Outside Xbox, GamesIndustry.biz, Digital Foundry and is partnered with VG247, Rock Paper Shotgun and more.
