UPDATE: April 25,Seung Ha (승하) Archives 2017, 5:25 p.m. EDT Blizzard has since updated its list of qualifying countries. Some of the countries below have moved places on the list, been added, or removed.

After weeks of global competition, the 32 countries participating in the 2017 OverwatchWorld Cup have been decided.

This year, every country in the world had an opportunity to qualify for the second OverwatchWorld Cup -- the skill rating of the top 100 competitive players in each country was averaged to give every country a score, and the top 32 in the world made it through to the next phase.

Last year, Blizzard selected 60 countries from around the world to compete, so many countries involved in the Overwatchcommunity never had a shot at making it.

  32. Romania

The countries at the top of the list are pretty predictable considering most of those regions have produced some of the top professional Overwatchplayers in the world. The no. 2 country, South Korea, has the strongest pro Overwatchscene out of any country and last year's World Cup squad tore through the playoffs and finals to win the championship without losing a single map.

Behind South Korea, the first World Cup saw Russia taking home second, Sweden third and Finland fourth.

Almost all of last year's top-16 teams are coming back for a shot at redemption except Chile and Taiwan. Chile finished in 39th place and Taiwan did not break the top 50 in this year's community-driven qualification.

Now that the countries have been decided for the 2017 OverwatchWorld Cup, players will be able to vote for which pre-selected Overwatchexperts will assemble each country's team. These experts will include analysts, coaches, statisticians, and more.

All 32 teams will compete in a group stage this summer for a chance to make it to the World Cup playoffs at BlizzCon in November.

If your country didn't make it to the World Cup this year, start buckling down now and improve that skill rating for the next qualification.
