GamersOrigin, a large organisation known primarily for its involvement in the Hearthstone scene, has signed the French team BrOverwatch. The team has had success in a number of smaller tournaments recently and hopes to "bring the French scene to the top of Europe".

GamersOrigin are the most recent organisation to branch out into Overwatch and sign a team, after previously dipped their toes into the scene by organising tournaments. Having now taken the plunge, GamersOrigin now find themselves the owners of a team with potential to rise through the ranks and find success domestically within France and wider Europe.

The team now playing as GamersOrigin are looking to develop on their recent good performances. On the back of their star player strenx and with a roster filled with good French talent, they appear to be a team which can contest Melty for the top French spot and work from there into the upper European tier.

The organisation gave their thoughts on the acquisition to GosuGamers:

Overwatch is a game in which GamersOrigin carries a huge interest since the release of the beta. The game holds huge potential and we decided to try our luck on different axes : WebTV, events organization and now an eSports team. Our internal teams are really passionate through play and eSports potential.

We met several potential teams during the last weeks but there was a real desire to work with BrOverwatch, who have a similar vision to ours and who are down to earth and have the potential to reach the top. We really wanted to move them in this adventure and will do the maximum to allow them to train in the best conditions and go to all lans that will arrive in the coming weeks. Thank you to our sponsor Ineoco which allowed us to live on this adventure!

The squad is currently competing in the small French LAN at Gamers Assembly, Breaking Lan. So far they have managed to stomp their group without losing a map, repeating their recent success in smaller online tournaments. The real test for this team however will come whenever they take on the leviathans of European Overwatch - only then will we see how far this team is capable of going as GamersOrigin.

The GamersOrigin roster is:

  • Antoine "Jenkins" Droniou (Flex/Captain)
  • Aldrin "Narwak" Delmas (DPS)
  • Kevin "Strenx" Baeza (DPS)
  • Frédéric "WhiTeFire" Ducrocq (Tank)
