I should be chosen to represent the Northern region because I'm a very passionate and hardworking player with a strong competitive spirit and am always looking to improve my skills in every aspect of Overwatch. I've gained a lot of confidence by playing on University teams and think it would be a great opportunity to show off my abilities.

Greatest Overwatch achievement?
I joined the MMU Minotaurs team 1 last Winter season (2022) and got into Division1, I played in the Womens & Non-Binary 3v3 Lockout Elimination cup and won the tournament on the Cakes Kittens team :)

Would be fun to represent the North since I'm incredibly Northern by birth, not just University location, and I want to get another win after winning the 3v3 lockout earlier this year. I also don't get the opportunity to compete as much anymore since I'm busy being the admin!

Kookie, University of Nottingham

Secondary Roles: None
Top 3 Heroes:
Lucio, Mercy, Brig

Why should you be chosen to represent your region?
"I’m not from the South. Not from the North either, but Midlands is close enough, right? I specialise in main support (my teams loves Rein Rush so I have a lot of Lucio experience) but I’m also confident on Kiri, Bap and even Moira for any double flex comps! I met the 2018 London Spitfire in Manchester, so I’m blessed by the GOAT himself, and at the start of Season 6 I could name every OWL player within 3 minutes. "

Greatest Overwatch achievement?
Reaching GM (especially when I did it without abusing Brig)

 

Akiko, Bangor University

Current Rank: Master 1
Primary Role: Support
Secondary Roles: Tank, DPS

I am a very good mercy, cringe but I helped support my wnb team to get into the finals. I have very good movement so I work best in a more mobile team. I believe if I can manage to get so far into the last tournament, I have so much more to give.

I love that Overwatch has such a diverse set of characters and community in comparison to many other competitive FPS games and have made many W/NB friends over the years playing the game. These tournaments help to showcase the range of talent we have to offer and I would be super excited to help secure a win for my region!

Alongside this, I'm a great team player and have really enjoyed coaching players/being the team leader for NSE games in the past. I want to help make it a fun and friendly environment to play in no matter the outcome (though hopefully winning will be the outcome 😎)
