Heroes of the Dorm is back for 2017 and so is the Bracket Challenge.

Hundreds of teams registered all with the dream of being crowned HotD Champions and winning free college tuition. Now only 64 teams remain and they will fight it out in a single elimination bracket that will culminate in the Heroic Four at the Cox Pavilion on the UNLV campus in Las Vegas.

Bracket play will begin on March 18th with all of the action being shown on Facebook Live. The Heroic Four will be April 8th in front of what is sure to be a standing room only crowd in fabulous Las Vegas. Everyone who attends the Heroic Four will receive a Cheerleader Kerrigan Bundle and will be treated to one of the best atmospheres in Heroes eSports.

If you aren’t able to attend live, you can still watch all of the action from home on Facebook and if you are upset at missing out on the Cheerleader Kerrigan Bundle just keep reading.

It wouldn’t be Heroes of the Dorm without the Bracket Challenge. Part of what makes HotD such an engaging event is the rooting interest created by the Bracket Challenge. Fill out a bracket for yourself and if your predictions hold true you might just win $10,000 like this lucky fellow did last year.

Even if you don’t win the Grand Prize, there are still plenty of reasons to play along. The top 500 brackets will receive a Cheerleader Kerrigan Bundle and everyone who creates a bracket will receive a special-edition Heroes of the Dorm in-game portrait.
