05-15-2013: New HCO tournament with physical prizes! See below...
(you can also go to the official announcement)
Greetings Heroes,
We’re introducing a new 6-week tournament series with awesome prizes, including a seat at the 2013 HeroClix Worlds event and physical Thanos figure from Infinity Gauntlet! The series will run May 16-June 27 (server downtime 9:30 a.m. EDT).
How it works: Each week will feature a new Themed tournament (same format as existing Themed tournaments) based on an Infinity Gem from the Infinity Gauntlet—and each week gives players more chances to increase their overall scores!
For each Themed tournament you win during the week, heroes will receive that week’s “Gem Shard” virtual item. Each week will feature a different Infinity Gem, meaning a different Gem Shard can be won each week.
The goal is to collect as many Gem Shards from as many different Infinity Gems as you can!
Your total number of Gem Shards collected (tournament wins) multiplied by number of Gem Shard typescollected (up to 6) will determine overall scores.
At the end of the series, 8 players with the highest scores will be entered into a single elimination playoff for a seat at HeroClix Worlds, to be held at Gen Con 2013 in Indianapolis, Ind. August 15-18! Both First and Second Place heroes will receive a physical 2013 Marvel con exclusive figure of their choice. First Place will also receive an invite to HeroClix Worlds!
Additionally, all players will be entered in a random drawing for the physical Thanos figure, with a number of random draw entries equal to your score (so the higher your score, the higher your chances!).
All participants will also receive a virtual figure after tournament completion from previously released Marvel sets that fit the weekly theme. Stay tuned for more info on the weekly Themed tournament schedule!
Following the event Gem Shards can be used in casual matches as obstacles for, or to attack, opponents.
Mark your calendars and check out the rules and regulations below!
Unfamiliar with HeroClix Worlds? It’s the largest HeroClix event and competition, hosted by game creator WizKids Games and held annually at Gen Con in Indianapolis, IN. Prizes include Shuma Gorath, Death Mask, various 2013 convention prizes, factory sets and more!
Be sure to share this with all of your HeroClix friends!
We hope to see you there!
