Heroes of the Dorm College Esports Lineup in 2018

Signups now open for college esports tournaments featuring Blizzard Entertainment's Heroes of the Storm, Hearthstone and StarCraft II.


2018 programs offer more opportunities—and scholarships—for college gamers across U.S. and Canada than ever before

Student gamers everywhere can now matriculate in a full schedule of college esports programs, as Tespa, Blizzard Entertainment's college esports network, has revealed its lineup of tournaments and events for this year, including the fourth edition of Heroes of the Dorm. With programs for Hearthstone and StarCraft II in addition to Heroes of the Storm, Tespa will award more than $1 million in scholarships and prizing by the end of the 2017-18 academic year.


Now in its fourth year, Heroes of the Dorm is introducing regional play. More than $500,000 in scholarships and prizes are up for grabs in this premier collegiate esports competition. Regional winners and other top teams on the national leaderboard will be seeded into the 64-team National Championship bracket. The battle for the Heroes of the Dorm National Championship—and for the scholarship money each player receives for the remainder of their college careers—will be fierce. Fans can watch all the action on both www.twitch.tv/blizzheroes and www.mlg.com.

In a one-of-a-kind broadcast partnership with Raycom Sports, Heroes of the Dorm will have a dedicated, nationally-syndicated program during a five-week period of competition.
