Welcome to the Inaugural Season of the Brotherhood Gaming League: Heroes of the Storm!

This round will consist of a Group Stage and a Knock-Out Stage. In the group phase, all members who sign up will be placed into groups (size and number dependent on sign-ups) selected at random. Groups will have a minimum of 4 members each. Each member will play every other member in their group once. All matches must be made using the Fist Bot in #DBGaming.

Sign-ups will go until August 31st.

Each match will be reported with screenshots to [Log in to view e-mail addresses] and [Log in to view e-mail addresses].

At the conclusion of the group stage the members who placed 1st or 2nd (and 3rd, if groups have 5+ members) in each group will advance to the bracket phase.

Ties will be broken by Head-to Head record between tied members and then by total time in losses. (Longer losses place higher).

Matches will be 1v1 with 2 Elite AI.

Warrior - Stitches

Assassin - Illidan

Support - Lt. Morales

Whatever Hero the player chooses must replace the AI of that specific niche. For example, a player chooses Jaina as their Hero. Jaina is an Assassin and therefore must replace Illidan and play with the other four chosen AIs. This rule will carry over into the Knock-Out Stage. No Specialists will be allowed.

In the Knock-Out Stage, the first round of the bracket will feature 1st place teams playing against a random 2nd place team from a different group (or 2nd place teams playing against a random 3rd place team from a different group with all 1st place teams receiving byes for the first round of the knock-out stage). The seeding of those match-ups will be randomized. The brackets will remain fixed up until the end of the bracket tournament. Each match will be one map chosen by the organizer prior to the round starting.

(Note: If there are less than 16 participants, please refer to the rules for <15 participants located in the Grandparent competition).
