The TeamLiquid Open tradition will continue next week as we hold an open tournament for Heroes of the Storm, the newest hotness in internet and streaming technology. A series that has roots back in our early StarCraft II days, the TL Opens give amateurs and veterans the chance to compete on an even field through a single elimination bracket event that anyone is able to participate in.
A TL Open is a good chance to test your skills with friends or hone your competitive instincts. As an open event this is ideal for smaller teams or newer players, and is a particularly good chance to test out a Heroes of the Dorm team should you be playing it, as it is one week before the qualifying day of that event.
