Competition Details

In this competition, you will be seeded randomly to do battle 1v1 (4 AI on each team) against members of both Vizsla and Plagueis in a Best-of-One Heroes of the Storm Bracket. All participants will be randomized using this site.

The Rites of Combat are in effect, with the exception of the “no announce” rule. Please only queue using the FistBot in the competition labelled “PLA/VIZ HotS Bracket Queue” when you are ready to do your match. Manual submission will not be accepted, with the exception of bot failure.

All matches will take place on the Sky Temple map.

Consolation brackets will be made for 5th-10th.

The Elite AI for all teams will be as follows: Muradin - Tank Ana - Healer Kerrigan - Melee Assassin Junkrat - Ranged Assassin D.Va - Bruiser

Whatever Hero each player chooses must replace the AI Hero from the corresponding class (ie. Tracer replaces Junkrat, Imperius replaces D.Va). Support heroes are prohibited.

All Opening Round matches must be completed by the end of the day on February 17th. If there are any additional imposed deadlines, they will be posted to the News Page and e-mailed to all relevant parties. If matches are not complete at the end of the deadlines, neither will move on (at the discretion of the Fist). All participants must complete their Opening Round matches on schedule in order to earn participation for the comp.

Only report outcomes on the FistBot. A screenshot submission or e-mail to the Fist is NOT required. Ensure your custom match is not hidden from your match history (toggle on the set-up page). In the case of any disputes win/loss, this will be the determination. Any in-game disputes will be settled by watching a replay with the Fist, who will make a determination.
