Team Singularity Announces Overwatch Contenders Roster
By Nicholas Barth ·
Overwatch's rise as an esport has inspired many organizations to get involved and compete in Blizzard's first person shooter.
For organizations and players not in the Overwatch League, Overwatch Contenders is the highest level of professional Overwatch that they can compete in. With a prize pool of $100,000 for each participating region and the chance to be noticed by Overwatch League teams, Contenders is a very lucrative endeavor for organizations and players. Today, another organization made a statement announcing their entry into the developmental league for the Overwatch League.
#OW We are happy to announce our official roster for the Overwatch Contenders 2018!
