Why should you be chosen to represent your region?
I absolutely love competition in Overwatch. It is the best way for me to get better and who doesn't love a chance to show off what they've been dedicating their time to. I have an unreasonable drive to win. Whether it be solo queue, or in tournaments or scrim I give it 100% every time. I believe I will be one of the best choices to represent my region mainly because I believe I'm best at bringing together fantastic teams and enabling those around me to perform to an even higher level. This is part of the reason I chose to commit to the main support role in tournaments.

Loophole, Bournemouth University

Secondary Roles: Tank
Top 3 Heroes: Cassidy, Ashe, Reinhardt

Why should you be chosen to represent your region?
I have been proudly playing for Bournemouth University for three years straight now, through the highs of first to the disappointing second and third years. I have flexed to the roles my team needs always, originally trying out to be a DPS, getting chosen as a support and now this year being the IGL and taking the tank role. My ranks show I have gone down since my peak but I know I can easily get back to playing at a mid-high masters level for Tank and Support. I will and have always played to the best of my abilities, and tried to demonstrate good leadership for the Bournemouth team to overcome opposition better than us. I also love a friendly competition, and am always up for a chance to go up against Northeners!

I'm very involved in the wider university OW community, and I'm enthusiastic to meet and play with a wide variety of players from different universities and backgrounds. It's a fun and unique opportunity to be able to band together with other players in the south for a match like this, and to show the north what we're made of.
