Again, lack of information for EU Summer Finals (1 of 2) in less than 3 days!

After late information for HotS Spring Finals, the lack of information for an upcoming important event for EU Region is astonishing. The best European team is getting crowned this weekend and will fight in the Summer World Championship! Another EU Regional Final is a month later to crown the second EU team for the World Championship!

If you now look for any information in the Battle.net launcher or in the News section you will find nothing. (EU Region,15:00 CEST, 20th April 2016)

Currently the last information about this event is a month old from the 23. March 2016. On heroes facebook & twitter you can only find rolling tumbleweeds for this kind of info.
If you go to the HotS eSport page, there is only some informatin about how teams advance to World Championship. The last info about the Regionals is also 27days old.

Compact information about EU Regionals on teamliquid.net/heroes/,
with great caster lineup: lineup and countdown under the reddit eSport EVENTS sidebar. (edit: countdown is wrong, click the link for real countdown)
Apparently tickets for the live event are sold out, can't imagine that, probably a small studio.

Yes, not everyone of the HotS community is interesed in HotS esport, but the lack of visibility and info about upcoming events is to much.
If you want to follow HotS eSport, it feels like tracking a stealthed enemy Nova's shimmer!

Pls fix.

    Also kinda fails to provide any team information it seems, but I guess you cant blame them with how often the NA/EU rosters shift these days :(

    Some bracket info would be nice too but it seems like ESL doesn't even have any for the next NA event which is 4 days away

    "Brackets are not live yet. It can take up to ten minutes from the start time of the cup for brackets to be available. If brackets are not live after this time, please contact support."

    Do teams in ESL events actually go in not knowing who they are facing in the first round and potentially in their bracket?

    In qualifiers this is often the case. In Regionals and Globals the groups are announced fairly far ahead of time.
