We are approaching the HGC Fall Championship at BlizzCon and teams across the globe have fought hard for their invitations. To give teams a chance to sharpen their blades on the new content against their region\u2019s fiercest competitors, we are introducing two new events called the Europe Nexus Games and North America Nexus Games! Each of these two regions will house their own events, complete with unique brackets and a $10,000 prize pool.<\/p>\n
For these events, we\u2019ll be inviting the top four teams from the HGC North America Fall Regional #2 (at PAX West this weekend) and the top four teams from the HGC Europe Fall Regional #2 (which took place at gamescom) to participate. In addition to these eight teams, we\u2019ll be hosting Nexus Games qualifiers (more details to come) which will result in an additional four teams invited from each region.<\/p>\n
Once all teams have been locked in, the first Nexus Game will start with a double elimination bracket that will take place throughout September and into October for each region, with each match being Best of 5. From there, it\u2019ll all come down to the finals, with a Best of 7 finishing things off just a few short weeks before the HGC Fall Championship at BlizzCon.<\/p>\n
Be on the lookout for the Heroes and Battlegrounds that were just recently revealed at gamescom through the Machines of War trailers since we\u2019ll be forgoing our usual \u201ctime-out\u201d rules on new content, meaning all Heroes and Battlegrounds will be in play at the Nexus Games immediately upon their release!<\/p>\n
