Heroes of the Storm news » 2015 European Road to BlizzCon: Teams and Heroes Sale

The European Road to BlizzCon is almost upon us! Europe’s top eight Heroes teams have emerged victorious to secure their spots in the 2015 Heroes of the Storm European Championship tournament at the event in Prague. We’ve got a little more information on each of the competitors, as well as details on a special sale that we’ll be holding after the event.

First Qualifiers

Natus Vincere

Natus Vincere—also known as Na’Vi—take their name from the Latin phrase meaning “born to win.” They’re a Ukrainian multi-gaming organization, founded in 2009, and they rank among the best eSports teams in the world. In April 2015, Na’Vi announced that they were stepping into the competitive Heroes scene, and they’ve quickly established themselves as a top contender.

Team ROCCAT

Team ROCCAT incorporated the members of team “Well Met” before kick-starting their arrival in the Nexus in June. Socke and HasuObs, two members of their squad, have already made a name for themselves as professional StarCraft II players, and now they’re on their way to finding similar success in Heroes of the Storm!

Virtus.Pro

Virtus.Pro also leapt into the brawl in June, when they picked up the young and ambitious Team ASH. They’ve already put together some solid displays, finishing third in the first European Qualifier and earning their place at the championship event in Prague.

Second Qualifiers

Team Liquid

Team Liquid joined us at BlizzCon 2014, where they participated in a fun exhibition tournament while Heroes of the Storm was still in alpha. They reworked their roster in 2015, acquiring El NeXo—one of Europe’s top teams—and have since established themselves as one of the best Heroes teams in the world.

Bob Question Mark

Even though their name may raise more questions than answers, there’s no doubt that Bob Question Mark has proven their skills in the Nexus. They secured their spot at the main event after finishing as runners-up in the second qualifier, eliminating a number of strong teams on their way to the grand final.

Gamers2.HotS

Gamers2—a professional gaming organization from Spain—opened a Heroes of the Storm division in March 2015. They play with an unpredictable style, so both opponents and viewers can never be too sure what to expect!

Third Qualifiers

Fnatic

Fnatic also made their Heroes of the Storm debut in the BlizzCon 2014 exhibition tournament. They’ve garnered a reputation for some rather aggressive play, and used it to full effect during the third qualifier—overcoming plenty of challenges that are sure to stand them in strong stead come the European Championship.

Pirates in Pyjamas

Pirates in Pyjamas—often abbreviated to PiP—is a Heroes team from Sweden. They’ve faced some tough opponents, but earned their spot after some strong play in the third qualifier.

Special Sale After The Event

The teams are decided and battle awaits! For more on the 2015 Road to BlizzCon, including event and stream details, check out www.eurtb2015.com.
