The Blizzcon finals for 2014 was on ESPN3 along with the rest of the Blizzcon events. It makes sense for them to be throwing these kinds of massive tournaments now while the game is still in beta before it gets to release. They want to hype it up as much as they can especially considering that the two games they are directly competing with already have a dedicated following. This move makes a lot of sense from a business perspective. Don't try to take it as anything other than such. It was the same reason they were promoting big HoTS Beta tournaments when WoL was still around. These kinds of tournaments generate hype which in turn generates sales of their product. | ||

The Fantasy Bracket will be open to participants from a wide selection of countries. Participation details will be announced in early April.

If they want to attract new players, should have done it in January It is nice though, free pcs what fail | ||

Cool infographic about Heroes of the Dorm. Interesting, 6200 players? Thats way more than I expected. Valla highest picked Hero? It doesn't surprise me, she is one of the best designed heroes in the game, she'll most likely always be top tier. ETC highest wwin rate sucks though, I hate ETC and can't wait until they nerf him into oblivion Also interesting to see Haunted mines and Blackheart bay being at the top of the picked maps after Dragon Shire, I'd have expected cursed hollow to be higher than those 2 at least. | ||
