Education is getting more expensive these days and if you’re looking for a way to help ease your financial burden, you might be interested to learn that Blizzard has teamed up with TeSPA to launch the Heroes of the Dorm tournament. Basically this is a tournament based on Blizzard’s upcoming MOBA Heroes of the Storm.
In this tournament, players will be able to enter and stand a chance to win free tuition for the rest of their college career. The winning will receive up to $25,000 per year that will go towards their college tuition, or alternatively it could be used by students about to graduate to help pay off their student loans. It’s a great idea for students who are struggling financially, as well as a good way for Blizzard to get the word out there that DotA 2 or League of Legends isn’t the only competitive MOBA around.
According to Blizzard CEO and co-founder Mike Morhaime, “College sports do great things for student athletes—they help pay for schooling, build teamwork and communication skills, and create lasting memories. We believe eSports has the same kind of power, and this tournament aims to bring positive experiences like these to college gamers.”
The tournament will begin on the 28th of March with the finals being held late April. Students who are interested in participating can head on over to its website for the details.
