Promising UK Overwatch organisation Top Mid eSports is aiming to ‘excel in the Overwatch scene and push to be one of the top teams in Europe’.
They recently won the Ballistix Community Cup #3, and placed fourth in the Go4Overwatch (PC) Europe Cup, beating some top tier teams and losing to team evoks in the semi final.
They have also taking a map against Reunited in the Faceit Overwatch Open, being the only team in the tournament to do so.
Top Mid eSports currently has two UK players and one player with a dual citizenship.

Henry “Cuddles” Coxall told eSports News UK: “I feel Top Mid eSports are a great team who I can see excelling in the Overwatch scene and pushing to be one of the top teams in Europe.
“Sadly we won’t be taking part in the ESL UK Overwatch Premiership due to not having 4+ UK based players, but Top Mid Esports as a team do have high ambitions to be a top tier team in Europe and across the world.
“Recently they gave Reunited a run for their money in the Faceit Open, being the only team to take a map from them, who knows – next time they may take the game!
“The team is looking incredibly promising and is fighting their way to the top with a gritty training schedule and dedicated players, analysing every mistake and move they make to improve every day.”
