We have all seen the new battlegrounds in action by now, but now is our chance to see the first streamed event between pro teams.
Blizzard has been ramping up Heroes events lately and we couldn't be happier. After a weekend of Nexus Games qualifiers, we are once again treated to more Blizzard sanctioned tournaments. This time, an EU and NA show match between top teams of the region. We know that the new battlegrounds will be played, but it is still yet to be determined whether or not Zarya or Alarak will be playable.

Just the beginning?
Everyone loves show matches and Blizzard seems to be catching on. This tweet below reveals that this won't be the last fun show match Blizzard puts on for Heroes eSports fans:
