2017 Championship Phase 1 - NA

2017 Championship Phase 1 - North America League Play

Description
The HGC pits eight of the top professional Heroes of the Storm teams in a region against each other in weekly, livestreamed matches. Matchdays are programmed for primetime viewing in each region; North America, Europe, China, and Korea play on a Friday-Saturday-Sunday schedule.

After five weeks of league play, the three teams with the best records in their HGC league are invited to an eight-team, cross-regional tournament called a Clash; where the lure of rowdy crowds and juicy cash prizes should bring out the best in all competitors. Participation in a Clash is a team's first milestone on its journey to the top.
