Big Thanks to Reddit for Supporting the Amateur Heroes Scene through Heroes United
Post Body


Backstory

A bit ago the community was wallowing in doom and gloom with the loss of Zoia and the step back from Solidjake /feelsbadman.

Some even questioned the future of Heroes in esports. The community answered the questions by taking things into their own hands and prove the future of Heroes Esports is promising.

The Response

Support flooded to Heroes United (HU).
The result was a crowd funded prize pool to $1600!!
Just insane!

BIG THANKS TO THE REDDIT HEROES COMMUNITY FOR THE SUPPORT

But we're going to see how far we can go!

Heroes United Matcherino

HU was able to receive special backing from some wonderful and beloved members of the Heroes Esports community, such as:

  • Gillyweed will give backers a Sonya yell in appreciation SOLD OUT

  • DarkChimaera from Astral Authority will give an hour coaching session to backers SOLD OUT

  • DJTyrant will give you a #StayTight thank you for your support

  • Jhow will be thanking you, in that amazing buttery voice of his, for how amazing you are for your generosity

  • Whammo is a well known and popular Blizzard community graphics designer will design you a twitter banner for your support

  • Soylent will give you a case of their delicious drink.

Any rewards you'd like to see let us know?

We will work hard to try and get the top voted suggested comment as a backer reward.


How do I donate?

  1. Click on the link: Heroes United Matcherino
  2. Sign in with your twitch login
  3. Pick a backer reward from the list and click purchase OR click donate and give your donation without a backer reward

How does donating help the scene?

After the first reddit thread about the HU crowdfunding campaign, a couple of sponsors contacted HU about how to get involved. When the community shows their commitment to the Heroes esports scene the sponsors take notice.

Additionally the money will motivate teams to remain competitive and cover expenses such as coaching.

Teams that have gone to regionals after competing in HU-partnered tournaments:

  • GaleForce Esports
  • Team Nom
  • TNC (formerly THC)
  • Astral Authority (formerly King of Blades)

Amateur tournaments are key to moving up the ladder of competitive success!


How can I play in HU tournaments & how do they work?

Sign ups links are posted at Heroes United Website. Tonight is Nexverse.

Each weekly tournament a team plays in earns them points. The top eight point earners will be invited to a finals tournament on July 13 to battle it out for the prize pool.


What are the points so far?

I can't donate how can I show my support?

You can donte a FREE $1 by clicking donate on the matcherino and using the code: united. Once the code is used 100 times it will not work anymore.

Also watching HU tournament would be huge! The number one question from sponsors is: How many are watching? Just watching on twitch would be amazing support.


Where can I see HU games?
