As promised our inaugural Heroes of The Storm tournament has finally arrived. We’ve received eight team registrations, which does make things a whole lot simpler, and we’re going ahead with our first games tomorrow evening! Thank you of course to the teams who took the time to register, with the proper format as well. These are the teams taking part in the tournament.
- Red Faction ZA
- Ventus Gaming
- White Rabbit Gaming (200ms)
- Energy eSports
- MDK Gaming
- Bravado Gaming
- White Rabbit Gaming (NoobsRus)
- White Rabbit Gaming (Black Rabbit)
Groups and Schedule
The top four seeds in both groups are awarded to previous results from Heroes of the Storm @ rAge. I understand these teams may have changed in the past few months, but there haven’t been any other tournaments to go by, so this is the best metric.

| Bravado Gaming | Energy eSports |
| White Rabbit Gaming (200ms) | Ventus Gaming |
| MDK Gaming | Red Faction ZA |
| White Rabbit Gaming (NoobsRus) | White Rabbit Gaming (Black Rabbit) |
As mentioned in previously the group stages will be best of three, with the top two groups moving through to the single-elimination best of three bracket.
