Competition to get under way in Australia and New Zealand

As the holidays come to a close, competition is set to get started. For those in Australia and New Zealand, your chance to prove your mettle is coming.

On January 30-31, ANZHeroes.com will be hosting the Summer Showdown Series, a two-day event for players and teams within Australia and New Zealand. As of this announcement the prize pool stands at $250 with the chance of that number increasing closer to the date.

The plan is for these tournaments to be a monthly occurance, with teams also playing for points that will go towards a regional ranking.

The presence of Heroes of the Storm within this region is not too pronounced, with a reasonably limited player base and few competitive opportunities. As more tournaments such as these popping up that may start to change over time and the scene may be able to produce teams that could compete on the international stage as Immunity was able to do last year.
