Roster selection

The rosters and coaches for the All-Star Game were selected through a voting process. In order to be eligible for selection, a player must have played at least 10 regular season games or participated in the 2018 All Star Game. The starters were chosen by the fans, with voting beginning on March 16 and ending on April 28. Fans were allowed to vote for a maximum of two DPS, two tank, and two support players from each division. After the starting rosters were announced, an additional 12 players from each division were selected as reserves by Overwatch League players, coaches, casters, and staffers. The starting roster was revealed in early May, with the full roster being revealed in mid-May.
