Blizzard Entertainment is teaming up with Twitch and ESL to present the Heroes of the Storm North American Road to BlizzCon tournament series. These thrilling events will determine the best Heroes of the Storm players in the region - and ultimately, the top Heroes team in the world. The mayhem begins with three North America Open events, where players will meet and do battle to determine the top five teams in the region. From there, they'll head to the Americas Championship to face off against the best teams from Latin America, Southeast Asia, Australia, and New Zealand - each fighting for a chance to compete in the Heroes of the Storm World Championship at BlizzCon 2015. A Trio of North America Open Tournaments The competition kicks off with three North America Open events, taking place each month from June through August.
