HGC – Destination: Los Angeles

Blizzard Entertainment

Blizzard Arena will play host to the first Western Clash in North America! The top four Heroes of the Storm teams from both Europe and North America will convene in sunny California to crown a new champion and dole out another $100,000 in prize money.

Team Dignitas are poised to take home the hardware yet again, but North America’s HeroesHearth Esports have been looking up to snuff as well. Perhaps this is Method’s Tournament? Maybe Tempo Storm will make a resurgence with their new fifth. Anything could happen—and you’re invited to witness the action!

The format is the same as the Clashes from earlier in the year. Teams are seeded based on current HGC standings into a double elimination bracket. Day one matches will be best-of-three. All remaining matches will be best-of-five, except for the best-of-seven grand final. The team coming into the grand final with no match losses (from the upper bracket) will start with a one Battleground advantage in the series (i.e. 1-0 in their favor to start).

Western Clash qualified teams:

The following casters and commentators will be on hand for the main event:
