Announcing the third Athena Championship

We are proud to announce the return of the Athena Championship! The previous events have been a fantastic celebration of the women in our community. Once again the event is linked to international women's day and because we feel it is important to shine a light on an underrepresented part of the community. 

We do this how we know best: by organising a competition that is fun and accessible for all skill levels. This time the event will take place on 12th & 13th of March! 

We hope to connect all women across Heroes of the Storm. As well as offer you an entrypoint in case you haven’t competed with us before. You can support this event by joining, watching and spreading the word!

We are changing up the format compared to the first two events. 

• All matches will be best of two.

• The competition will be a round robin. 

• The number of signups and your preferences in the signup form will determine the specific times and whether we will take one or two days to play.

To catch your breath a bit between the rounds a break will be scheduled. 

Sign up details

In order to sign up, fill out this form:https://forms.gle/LUr61QDCpv66CV8M7

In case you do not have a Heroes Lounge account yet, please make one: we will need it to form the teams and run the matchmaking during the day! 

In the form you can tell us your preferred roles and skill level. If you already have some people you would like to play with you can let us know that as well, we will try to take these into account. However, to get the right balance between a fun and competitive day in which you will hopefully also make some new friends!, we will be mixing it up a bit in terms of skill levels!

After signing up you will gain access to the Athena channel in the Heroes Lounge Discord server in order to find your teammates and have a chat. Signups will close the 20th of February 23:59 CET.

In case you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask. The contactpoint for the Athena Championship are TinyOwl and Transparent, they can be reached via our Discord server.
