*New Rules*
Signup in the discord, hang out in the waiting room, you will be assigned to a team you keep the entire tournament. Double elimination. Each member of the winning team will get to choose their own prize.
The idea of this tournament came up about 8 or 9 months ago when I heard someone say "I placed bronze, I guess I am done with this game." and it bothered me because while the lower ranks can sometimes be wild, it is the best place to show improvement.
I thought it would be fun to have seriously or sarcastically casted games of people in a relatively competitive environment where everyone is Bronze or Silver.
This is a single entry tournament that will feel like storm league, but we encourage communication and more planning and good attitudes. Teams will be randomized after every game. With priority entry to lower point players in situations with too few players.
This tournament will also give a look into the lower ranks of the game and can enlighten some of the higher ranks on the frustrations in these ranks. It also could just be entertaining to watch some builds we don't see in the current competitive scene get value.
I will be casting this tournament every Sunday in July for both NA and EU, I may bring on other casters depending on the day.
Because of this we will be working with humble bundle on making sure this stays for a good cause.
Rules and Prizes explained below.
Must be bronze or silver in storm league with over level 250 hero levels.
Must not be silenced
Must be able to listen in voice comms.

Then sign up by submitting to the discord room a screenshot of your accountname and rank. If the screenshot doesn't match the account played you will not get rewards.
This tournament is ran in partnership with Humble Bundle and we are donating a portion of the proceeds to different charities. This week: Child's Play. A Charity about giving video games to children stuck in hospitals from chronic illnesses.
I am running this tournament to keep people playing the game even if their ranks are a bit lower than they would like.
Because of the partnership I have with Humble Bundle and the focus with the charity, all of the prizes will be from those.
Also because of some country rules on competitions, I cannot promise prizes, nor charge any sort of fees, so the prizes are just "gifts" we will be calling prizes.
Prizes will be small in the beginning and hopefully grow.
This week each member of the winning team can pick 1 prize.
TBD -
Replay analysis of a game of your choice from me. It will be a 20-40 minute video where I break down things to work on for a specific game/hero, sometimes I will even pull up other replays or try mode to show things. $20 value
