Heroes of the Storm news » Mid-Season Brawl Survival Guide

The Heroes of the Storm Mid-Season Brawl will feature 12 top-ranked teams battling it out for $250,000 USD from June 10-19. It’s the first global competition on the HGC calendar, and with some of the best players in the world throwing down in front of thousands of attendees at DreamHack Summer in Sweden, it’s sure to be epic.

Make sure to tune in, as we bring the first phase of the HGC to a close by crowning the Mid-Season Brawl champion! Read on for details.

Heroes All-Stars

While the action rages on in the main event, we’ll find out what happens when East meets West in Heroes All-Stars 2017! We’ll be taking the best players from each region, forming two legendary teams, and setting them loose in a series of epic show matches. The pros with the most votes as chosen by the Heroes community will join their teammates to represent the East or the West and battle it out in three best-of-three-game matches at DreamHack Summer from June 17-19. The first set of matches will be played using the standard HGC format, but we’ll be taking off the gloves and changing up the rules in series two and three—stay tuned for details.
