Heroes of the Storm's North America Regional Begins Today!

Heroes of the Storm will begin its North American Regional today. Made up of eight teams across groups A and B, the teams are fighting over a prize pool of $100,000 as well as qualification for the Spring Championship in Seoul, Korea. With only two places up for grabs in Seoul, there's no doubt pressure to win: Seoul will have a prize pool of $500,000. 

As expected, many of Heroes of the Storm's most popular teams are taking part: Panda Global, COGnitive and the reinging champions, Cloud 9. If you want to watch the event, here's the details:
