The First Round
The first round was pretty uneven as all winning teams scored 2 points, sweeping their opponents. G7.Hype, BBK, SW and WG went on to the semi-finals.
Nearing the Summit
The first semi-final match was between G7.Hype and BBK with the latter dominating again and winning without losing a match. SW versus WG on the other hand brought some very exciting games (Southwind misdrafting Chen, though seemingly unfavoured, still won. The game also featured SW’s Illidan rushing WG’s core and leaving it at 3% health). Wargods won the last two matches keeping their hopes of going to BlizzCon alive.
The March to BlizzCon SEA Finals
A best-of-5 series was set for the finals with WG versus BBK. After the first three games, BBK was officially declared as the Philippines’ representative for Heroes of the Storm South East Asia Championships.
Final standings and prize money won are as follows:
