Among the other 56 photos chosen, there are images from places across the world.
The next season of Overwatch Apex has yet to be announced. Next year, however, the Overwatch Apex will be rebranded as Contenders Korea—Blizzard’s Overwatch developmental league. Details regarding the new Contenders leagues, which will span across seven regions, have not been announced.
