Big changes for HS Esports in 2018!!

These changes look good, overall. Earlier it was that top-8 was good and top-9 was like you get kinda nothing. Now this is fixed

But the problem with disconects at tournaments still persists, right? :( The story of Luker at playoffs comes to mind... Though it has nothing to do with format but rather with the HS clients/servers

The turn timer will now stop if a player is disconnected during a Friendly Challenge. This feature was added last week with the 10.0 patch.

Hey bdrago,

For someone like me who is in Saskatchewan, will smaller areas receive Tavern Hero Qualifiers or will these be set to only larger areas?

Basically, am I going to be able to go to Saskatoon/Regina to play in one, or am I going to have to travel to Calgary/Winnipeg, or (worst option) are they going to be in LARGE centres like Toronto, Vancouver or Montreal (like playoff locations last year)

Tavern Hero Qualifiers are now part of HCT Challengers. We will have full details on HCT Challengers in January. In the meantime, there is more information in our visual guide here.

Well met!

We've just posted our updates to HCT for 2018. There are a bunch of changes, so we've also created this nifty visual guide to all the updates.

We're pretty excited about these updates, and can't wait to see you in 2018.
