Day 1 of the Heroes of the Storm concluded today with Fnatic winning to advance to the main event tomorrow.

Day 1 was a Bring Your Own Computer (BYOC) event featuring ATN, Fnatic, We’re Too Old For This and Archdemon. As expected, the established teams both did well against their lesser known opponents. Fnatic and ATN both went 2-0 versus Archdemon and We’re Too Old For This respectively.

In the winner’s finals, after losing to an Abathur/Lost Vikings strategy in Game 1, Fnatic swept the reamining games to assure their spot in the Grand Finals. After their loss to Fnatic, ATN went through the lower bracket to set up the re-match with Fnatic. The qualifers final played out in the same way with Fnatic winning 3-1. 

It was certainly a relaxed atmosphere. Both Archdemon and We're Too Old For This were here to fulfill their amateur ambitions. Archdemon were jovially looking for an "enriching experience." We're Too Old aFor This had been playing together on the side and decided to participate in the event.

Day 2 will have the same tournament structure. There will be four teams (Na’Vi, Team Liquid, and Gamers2 are thedirect invites) with a Winner’s Bracket, Loser’s Bracket and Grand Finals. Likely Team Liquid will go up against Fnatic and Na’Vi and Gamers2 on the other side of the bracket.
