Top 3 Heroes: Ana, Lucio, Zenyatta

Why should you be chosen to represent your region?
Tank, Support, DPS. Whatever role I'm going to be one of the strongest players if you want the South to win. Or if you just want to see good competition. I won the WNB Winter Cup this year, and the Summer All-Stars where I stole 3 out of the 4 potgs.
I think I should be chosen because I mean business. And, believe or not, I can also be a little fun sometimes!

Greatest Overwatch achievement?
WNB Winter Cup. WNB All Stars. 2nd place NUEL. Champ rank (i abused rank adjustment tho so like). Solo Queue Lucio 70% winrate to top 500.

Primary Role: Support
Secondary Roles: Tank, DPS
Top 3 Heroes: Baptiste, Kiriko, Ana

Why should you be chosen to represent your region?

I'm super passionate about the esports scene and the WNB spaces involved, with my overwatch journey starting with Calling All Heroes in 2022 now branching out into competing in OWCS and various UK LANs to meet new friends and teammates, casting for Faceit League Masters Division and NEL and now being able to compete in the uni scene + WNB tournaments with it.

I'm very competitive and will do my best on any role, whilst trying to make the most of the match and put on a show.

Greatest Overwatch achievement?
Either coaching ona team with Xzodyal or placing top 5 at Insomnia72

 

Solar, University of Plymouth

Highest Rank: Master 2
Current Rank: Diamond 3
Primary Role: Support
Secondary Roles: Tank/DPS
Top 3 Heroes: Mercy, Ana, Juno/Kiri

Why should you be chosen to represent your region?
I am a great team player with a wealth of experience in the game (at almost 4000 hours comp time across multiple accounts) so I understand a great deal about the game. I am a great listener who can adapt well to my team's needs and I have experience playing in my university's top team this academic year. I feel I have good game sense and consistent aim (e.g. I typically end games as ana with around 80% accuracy or more). I also don't yell or clog up vc with comms, I try and make callouts I feel are important or necessary, or to make suggestions for my team. I am also a flex support player, so I can play almost any of the roster well, but I feel I excel at playing Mercy and Ana. I am a good Juno player too which is a key hero in the current meta that will help my team to win games. I know that I am certainly not the best support player in the world, and I do make a lot of mistakes. But I recognise them and always strive to improve and take on the advice of others, and this adaptability is what makes me a good player. :)

Greatest Overwatch achievement?
I'm not sure really, there's been to many matches and moments I wish I could remember where I felt unstoppable haha - the clutchest of mercy plays, the most beautiful ana nade/nano combos, the most cinematic, perfectly timed OT touch you've ever seen, I can't pick one thing alone :') But I guess my greatest OW achievement is how much I've improved as a player over the years and refined my mechanical skills to a high standard, and how I'm constantly open to advice and always trying to learn new things and playstyles to better my performance. Honestly though, I think staying hardstuck diamond on and off for almost 2 years is an achievement in itself LOL, I think I just play too much

Kafkagirl, University of the Arts London

Highest Rank: Diamond (Overwatch 1, console)
Current Rank: Gold 1 (Overwatch 2, PC)
Primary Role: Support
Secondary Roles: DPS
Top 3 Heroes: Moira, Lucio, Soldier

Why should you be chosen to represent your region?
A lot of my design work at University is about regional pride, as moving from the West Country to London highlighted some really interesting attitudes towards different regions - I really love the idea of representing the South West, as we are a kind of 'overlooked' part of the UK. I love meeting new people and making new friends through gaming, especially through more 'high pressure' events like NSE, and I think I am able to make these events approachable for freshers as the Esports Manager for my Uni, and thus achieve great things (my UAL WNB team won the Winter tourney this year which we are SO pleased with) :-)
