It looks like Blizzard’s Heroes of the Dorm eSports competition is becoming an annual event, because it’s coming back this year. If you’re not familiar — or didn’t catch last year’s matches — Heroes of the Dorm is a Heroes of the Storm event especially for college students that awards free tuition. (And considering the price of tuition, that’s a pretty nice prize.)
Since last year’s competition launched before Heroes of the Storm had actually gotten out of beta, hopefully teams for this round will have had a little more time to practice — and we’re sure to see some exciting gameplay on display, live on ESPN.
For those of you hoping to get in on the action — sorry, everyone, but it’s open to current college students in the US and Canada only — you’ve got to act fast as registration’s already open and will be closing on February 18th. Here’s the full schedule:
- Registration closes: February 18
- Qualifiers: February 20th – March 6th
- Bracket play: March 19 – April 3
- Round of Four: April 9 – 10
Members of the winning team will each receive three years of college tuition (up to $25,000 a year) and the team’s substitute player will get a single year of tuition (again, up to $25,000). Check out the full rules and the official Heroes of the Dorm website for all the details — and good luck to the competitors!
