Heroes of the Storm Needs Automated Tournaments Like StarCraft 2

• Scheduled, 5v5 Tournaments with 8 teams.

• Boxes and Profile pictures as rewards for the first and second place.

• Display in the new hud how many tournaments played, how tournaments a player won, both queuing Solo and as a Team, separate the information.

• Make it free to enter, but make it require a certain level to enter. And that level of course must be higher then the level requirement to enter Hero League. Maybe twice higher. It's the next level of competition of Heroes 2.0 lets say, so you gotta grind to be able to play. That's life. Also, it's a speed bump for Smurfs.

• Allow "Solo Queue, Find me a Random Team" option, but aware the players that the best experience is always with friends, for more organized gameplay. This is a safe warning, like in Diablo III, when you make a Hardcore hero: If he dies, he dies. In here it's like: if your team random players team is bad, don't cry about it, we advice you to group with players you know.

If you are not familiar on how the SC2 Tournament System is, I have this very, very old link, but basically explain the whole concept:

You should also do this to Overwatch. Because it creates windows for people to talk to their friends, group up and go to a tournament. It's fun, it will take some time to balance, things are not perfect on release, but that must not weight down such an amazing idea. It was Blizzard's idea, not mine, I am just showing how you can apply a StarCraft 2 similar concept to Heroes 2.0, and honestly I see this working way better in Heroes 2.0 then it does in StarCraft 2:

Because Heroes 2.0 is a genre of games that craves for organized play, and you want something more organized then fun tournaments where you don't really need to play as a solid team, but you can just pick 4 friends and say go. It's fun to play a real Draft with people you really know, against another team that is also doing the same.

The reward is just an extra, I can say a number here, I don't have the data. Small to Medium, couple boxes to second place (each player getting a couple of course) and maybe 5 to the first place? Maybe?

So yeah, that is it. If you like to, leave a comment, let's discuss this even further. Also check my idea on bringing Rock N' Roll Racing to the Nexus and the suggestion to have the actor Travis Fimmel (Anduin Lothar in Warcraft) to work with Blizzard on a skin for Varian based on Lothar (or as people call, a "Hero Remodel"). I believe both are good ideas for the game, but also good PR moves for Blizzard, to bring more attention to Heroes 2.0.
