How are local tournaments played?
There's no LAN option in this game, so how do the teams in the world cup play locally? Does Blizzard somehow force the custom game to use a server in the same building or something?

Hey there abluedinosaur, for certain events we setup a local server on site at the event venue. This setup is actually very similar to the live Overwatch setup but it does not require any central systems like Battle.net.
I hope you're enjoying the World Cup, cheers!
