Team Austria was excluded from the 2023 Overwatch World Cup, and they won't let Blizzard forget it. With OWCS talent and some of the brightest stars in FACEIT League, Austria have their sights set on BlizzCon. Austria Team Manager TAO and Twisted Minds/99DIVINE Manager Cointree join me to break it all down.

(Note: This episode was recorded in March 2023, before the OWCS EMEA Stage 1 Regular Season, which featured Seicoe and Tama. Please keep that in mind while listening!)

• Austria's ferocious DPS line of Zydra and Seicoe
• Can Tama shatter his ceiling?
• CNYXC's superstar Wuyang play
