Back in November at BlizzCon, Blizzard announced massive plans for a Heroes of the Storm Global Championship Circuit with three Global Championships happening around the world over the course of 2016. First up will be the Spring Global Championship in Seoul, Korea on April 1st through April 3rd. If you want a chance to get flown to Korea and fight for a US$500,000 prize pool, your team will need to qualify and come out on top at the ESL Los Angeles Spring Regional in Burbank, California!
The top two teams at each of the four upcoming ESL Los Angeles Spring Qualifiers will be invited to the North American Spring Regional, and the top two teams from that event will make the trip to Seoul.
