Over the past month South African Overwatch teams have been playing in the Orena Champions Ladder for their shot at a R10 000 winner takes all competition. The top four seeds from the ladder will enter a double-elimination bracket which kicks off tomorrow. Throughout the competition, three teams have outshone the rest, with a toss up between Ventus Gaming and Damage Control fighting for the fourth spot. Out of nowhere Ventus darted up the rankings to take third place, creating an extremely interesting bracket.

These are the current positions:

  1. Nine Meter Bears
  2. Friendship Squad
  3. Ventus Gaming
  4. E.D.E.N
