011 Archivestop teams of Blizzard's Overwatch World Cup will play their final matches at Blizzcon on Nov. 5, and now we know how the 16 finalists will be broken up for the last leg of the tournament.
Blizzard sorted the 16 national teams into four brackets in a random drawing on Friday. We'll list the final results below, but you can watch the video -- complete with nifty toy Zenyatta orbs that I would totally buy, Blizzard-- if you want the suspense of the live drawing.

The field was much more crowded with teams back in September, when the process of whittling down a final 16 started. The 16 named here emerge from a full month of single elimination, best-of-three matches between 51 national teams in total.
Each team is made up of the top players from that country. Four from each team were voted on by fans. The player that received the most votes on each team is that team's captain, and captains get to add an additional two players of their own to fill out the six-person squad.
The final 16 lineup includes six teams apiece from the Europe and Asia-Pacific regions, plus four more teams from the Americas. Blizzard created this split "to ensure that all major regions of the world are represented at Blizzcon."
The developer's annual fan event -- which covers a great deal more than just Overwatch-- runs through Nov. 4-5. The Overwatch World Cup teams will start their matches on Oct. 29, whittling the group of 16 down to eight.
Those eight teams will then face off on Nov. 4 to determine the four finalists. Those top teams will then play their final matches on Nov. 5 and crown a winner.
