The Athena Championship is coming back!
What is the Athena Championship?
The Athena Championship is a Heroes of the Storm tournament designed around creating a welcoming space for women, especially newcomers, to competitive gaming. In addition Athena Championship provides a safe space to network and experience your own competitive nature in esports.
Once you sign up, and join the Heroes Lounge Discord server, you will be added to the Athena Championship discord channel!
After sign ups are closed, on the 8th of September the teams will be created. We do our best to create balance between the teams with the players provided taking roughly matching location into account. Teams will consist of players with a variety of skill levels.
Once teams are created, you have 3 weeks to meet your team, where you can get to know each other and scrim with other teams. We recommend scrimming other Athena Teams!
Athena Championship itself is a 2 day event that follows a consistent 5 match round robin like format, finishing with a single best of 3 grand final for the top two teams.
The round robin games are where 2 maps are played in each match. 3 points are awarded on the leaderboard for a 2-0, 1 point is awarded for a 1-1 and zero points awarded for 0-2.
We use 2 map matches to make sure we can estimate the timing accurately on the day, so players have a reasonably smooth day, with good knowledge of when they will be busy!
This event is open to all women, including trans and cis women and femme identifying/femme presenting non-binary players.
