With less than a week before the bracket stage of the 2016 Heroes of the Dorm tournament, ESPN are once again trying to make the collegiate Heroes of the Storm competition into a nerdy, alternative March Madness. 64 collegiate teams have qualified from around North America to fight for fame, school pride, and the chance to graduate with a slightly less crushing debt burden (thanks to a grand prize that pays college tuition for the winners).
This year, rather than ambushing ESPN viewers with an out-of-the-blue Heroes tournament on ESPN2 like they did last year, Blizzard and ESPN are adding a little pomp-and-circumstance to the tournament. They got started Sunday night with a “Championship Bracket Reveal” on ESPNU, the sports network’s collegiate sports channel.
