It's March and like everyone else, we are interested in the big Bracket Challenge. Not the one that involves college basketball, the one that involves Heroes of the Dorm.

On April 8th, the final four university teams who have reached the Heroes of the Dorm, will head to Las Vegas to compete in the Heroic Four and National Championship taking place at the Cox Pavilion at the University of Nevada. The grand prize is each member of the winning team gets their tuition paid for the rest of their college careers. (I'd suddenly be going for a Doctorate). Blizzard is also opening up a Bracket Challenge for folks at home to get involved.

Here's what you need to know – visit Heroes of the Dorm for full details: https://www.heroesofthedorm.com/

Round of 64 – Before they can reach the live National Championships, universities will need to compete and qualify through a shark tank of 64 rival teams, including University of Texas – Arlington, Ohio State, Cornell University and more. Matches begin March 18 and will be broadcast live exclusively on Facebook.

I figure I do something like this every year for the NCAA, at least this is a game I currently play.
