Cake, Manchester Metropolitan University

Highest Rank: Diamond
Current Rank: Diamond
Primary Role: Support
Secondary Roles: 
Top 3 Heroes: Ana, Zenyatta, Kiriko

Why should you be chosen to represent your region?
I have a strong northern accent and will make everyone a cup of tea. I also don't tend to have the opportunity to participate in Overwatch tournaments anymore since I'm usually the admin or organiser!

Greatest Overwatch achievement?
Organising two tournaments that raised over £1k for Gamers Beat Cancer :)

 

Fuchsia, Bangor University

Highest Rank: Masters 4
Current Rank: Diamond 5
Primary Role: Support
Secondary Roles: DPS
Top 3 Heroes: Illari, Brigitte, Echo

Why should you be chosen to represent your region?
As a lover of niche cat microcelebrities and owner of at least one maid outfit and someone with way too many hours on overwatch. I believe I am the perfect candidate to represent the North. CAN WIN!

I want to stomp those silly southerners in the ground. The difference between a northerner Lucio and a southerner Lucio is night and day.

Greatest Overwatch achievement?
One tricking Lucio to masters leading to me going into professional coaching for it.

 

ŴHITEFANG, Manchester Metropolitan University

Highest Rank: Masters 1
Current Rank: Masters 2
Primary Role: DPS

I think I should be chosen to represent the North region because there aren't enough female and non binary DPS players :)

Parkapants, Keele University

Highest Rank: Masters 3
Current Rank: Diamond 3
Primary Role: Support

Top 3 Heroes: Kiriko, Baptiste, Ana

Why should you be chosen to represent your region?
I love the game and am graduating in January, so this is my last time playing for NSE as a student! In the recent months I’ve been playing in more and more tournaments which have been streamed and I really enjoy competing on broadcast. Keele isn’t known for its overwatch team, or a well known university at all really, but we have a dedicated games lab with over 30 high end PCs and a strong esports course which needs more exposure!

Greatest Overwatch achievement?
Reviving Keele Krakens OW2 team and leading the team to strong div2 finishes both years I have been overwatch rep while battling with issues every week (this became a meme that the Keele setup is always scuffed). I made our university a community hub for pugs and held weekly friendlies with many students from other universities.

Highest Rank: Platinum 5
Current Rank: Platinum 5
Primary Role: Tank
Secondary Roles: Support/DPS
Top 3 Heroes: Junker Queen, Kiriko, Cassidy

Why should you be chosen to represent your region?
I don't play much ranked but I would say I am not bad at the game :D

Greatest Overwatch achievement?
Mustering the motivation to open the game occasionally.

This will be my final tournament competing as a student for NSE, and would love to represent the All Stars team again for the South. Came Top 8 with Durham Defenders and have won or come runners up in multiple WNB tournaments at Cam and Durham :D

Getting to play in the Oxbridge Varsity at the last Insomnia (🥲), also being hardstuck Plat for 3 years then making it to GM in 2 months a year ago!

 

Xenia, University of Cambridge

Highest Rank: Grandmaster 4
Current Rank: Diamond 3
Primary Role: Support
Secondary Roles: Tank / DPS
Top 3 Heroes: Ana, Baptiste, Mercy

Why should you be chosen to represent your region?
If I have the mental capacity to withstand Silk’s Lifeweaver gripping me into the enemy spawn, then anything is possible. Not as washed as my current rank might suggest (citation needed). I will also bring my ancient 5 years of Overwatch compositional knowledge as an alum to ensure victory and PMA for the team. Happy to flex as needed, and I always communicate and give 100% because it’s always winnable. 💪

Greatest Overwatch achievement?
Top 8 NSE finish, blocked by @Youbi_OW on Twitter 😎, has the 0.3% Baptiste “Window of Opportunity” achievement, Top 100 Competitive 3v3 Elimination, 1st Place W&NB 3v3 Cup, maintained a positive win rate on Mercy in Season 11
