Heroes of the Storm
The Heroes of the Storm Global Championship (HGC) is comprised of the top 8 professional teams in each of our regions. After ten weeks of league play, the top teams face off in the Mid-Season Brawl for a chance to win $250,000. Phase 2 of the HGC involves another ten weeks of league play, culminating in the HGC finals at BlizzCon.
In the middle of each phase of league play are the invitational Clash matches. These are exhibition matches featuring the top professional teams from each region, all competing for a $100,000 prize pool.
For those players who wish to earn their place in the HGC, we have the HGC Open Division. These are teams of amateur players competing in tournaments every other week for points and cash prizes. The top two teams from the Open Division Playoffs go to The Crucible to battle against the bottom two teams from the Pro League. The winners from The Crucible are added to the HGC Pro League, while the losers join the Open Division.
ハースストーン
ハースストーンマスターズツアー(HCT)は世界最大のハースストーン大会で、世界中から16人の優れたプレイヤーが一堂に会し、栄光と100万ドルの賞金総額、そして世界チャンピオンという名誉ある称号をかけて闘います。プレイヤーはランク戦プレイと公式大会でポイントを獲得することで、出場権を獲得できます。 シーズンプレイオフには、各地域の最高ポイント獲得者と酒場のヒーロートーナメントの勝者が参加します。プレイオフの上位4名の選手がシーズン選手権に進出し、グローバルファイナルへの出場権を獲得するチャンスが与えられます。
StarCraft II
The StarCraft II World Championship Series (WCS) is divided into two divisions: the WCS Circuit and WCS Korea. Eight players from each division will compete at the WCS Global Finals.
WCS Korea
WCS Korea is open to all players globally, and it's where the very best players compete. The three Global StarCraft II League (GSL) season champions and the top players from the WCS Korea standings will seed the Global Finals.
- GSL Season 1 Champion (1)
- GSL Season 2 Champion (1)
- GSL Season 3 Champion (1)
- WCS Korea Standings (5)
WCS Circuit
The WCS Circuit is home to players from the Europe, China, Taiwan/Hong Kong/Macau, Australia/ New Zealand, and Americas regions. High performers in online cup matches and the season ladder will feed into the Challenger Finals, where the top players will earn cash prizes and a chance to qualify for one of four Dreamhack events. The champions of the Dreamhack events, along with the top players from the WCS Circuit standings, will earn a spot at the WCS Global Finals.
- WCS Austin Champion (1)
- WCS Jönköping Champion (1)
- WCS Valencia Champion (1)
- WCS Montreal Champion (1)
- WCS Circuit Standings (4)
Global Events
In addition to the WCS Global Finals at the end of the year, there are two other opportunities for Korean and Circuit players to compete against each other.
IEM Katowice
As one of the largest esports events in the world, IEM Katowice is one of the largest gatherings of pro StarCraft II players of the year. WCS offers paid travel for qualifiers from both Circuit and Korean players. There's also an open bracket for players who plan their own travel arrangements. The winner of this event is guaranteed a slot in the WCS Global Finals.
GSL vs. the World
Halfway through the year, Korea hosts the GSL vs. the World all-star event. This event showcases some of the best professional players from both Korea and Circuit competing against each other.
WCS Global Finals
At the end of the year, we see the 16 best players in the world compete for a large prize pool and the title of World Champion.
World of Warcraft
The World of Warcraft Arena World Championship Tour involves the best arena players from around the world competing for a slot in the World Championship at BlizzCon. Leading up to BlizzCon, players will compete in Arena Cup and community tournaments to earn points.
Arena Cup Tournaments
Arena Cup Tournaments are online regional tournaments where teams compete for points and cash prizes. These events are hosted by Blizzard for our European and North American players. Interested teams can sign up for upcoming tournaments.
Community Tournaments
Arena teams can also earn points in Blizzard-sanctioned community tournaments. You can find upcoming community and Arena Cup matches on our schedule site. If you're interested in hosting a community tournament, download the application form and send it to us!
Regional Championships
The top twelve teams from North America and Europe, as well as the top eight teams from China and Asia Pacific and the top four from Latin America will compete in their respective regional events. Unlike the previous rounds, all of the different regional championships are live LAN events, with players playing on stage instead of from home. The winning teams from these events move on to the World Championship at BlizzCon.
World Championship
The twelve qualifying teams will include four teams from North America, four teams from Europe, two teams from China, one team from Latin America, and one team from Asia Pacific. These teams will compete at BlizzCon for their share of a $280,000 prize pool.
