With the well-fought Heroes of the Dorm tournament out of the way, Blizzard is preparing an even larger community event for Heroes of the Storm that leads straight into this November’s BlizzCon.
The Heroes of the Storm World Championship will begin this summer across five major regions and culminate in an eight-team battle at the convention. Sign-ups for qualifiers are either already live or coming soon, depending on the region. The studio has shelled out a $1.2 million prize pool for the event, out of which $200,000 will go to the winning team.
Heroes of the Storm is on the verge of releasing, with June 2nd set as its official launch date.
