Event Ending Soon
The current ongoing event, Fall of King's Crest, is slated to end with next week's update going live. This means all event quests and event & Hallow's End store items will no longer be obtainable. The items are expected to return during next year's Hallow's End event.

If you have not completed your event quests yet, keep in mind there's an additional "hidden" 5th quest after the first four. You can pick one of two rewards from it: A "good" tombstone mount, and an "evil" tombstone mount.

Note for EU players: While EU is set to receive next week's update on Wednesday morning, the event items usually leave the store by early Tuesday evening. Shop accordingly.


HGC Crucible Results
The second Crucible of the year is past us, and two new teams will be participating in the HGC next season! This also means two teams are demoted to the Open Division, but such is the life of the Crucible.

In the NA region we saw No Tomorrow take on PSISTORM Gaming. PSISTORM Gaming started out great by taking two games from No Tomorrow right off the bat, however No Tomorrow found their footing and took the next four games in a row, thus defending their spot in the HGC for the next season. The second series in the NA Crucible saw Scythe Esports take on Simplicity in a 4-2 win. The series started out equal between the two teams, but Scythe Esports pulled away in the end and earned themselves Simplicity's spot.

In Europe we started out with Monkey Menagerie playing to defend their HGC spot from Open Division team ePunks. This series was the fastest of the weekend as ePunks completely wiped out MM in a 4-0 victory, adding a strong contender to the next season! Second EU game almost ended in a 4-0 upset as well when Roll20 Esports defended their spot against the Holy Bananas. Holy Bananas started out strong with three wins a row. Roll20 came back with a vengeance though and took the next four games for a final total of 4-3, keeping their spot for the next season of the HGC

North America

• No Tomorrow vs PSISTORM Gaming - 4-2
• Simplicity vs Scythe Esports - 2-4

Europe

• Monkey Menagerie vs ePunks - 0-4
• Roll20 Esports vs Holy Bananas - 4-3

Congratulations to No Tomorrow and Roll20 Esports for defending their spots, and congratulations to Scythe Esports and ePunks for joining the HGC proper! We can't wait to see how they'll shake up things in 2019.


New Official Forums
The official Heroes forums have received an overhaul! Users of the Overwatch forums will recognize the design. Be sure to check out both the US forums and the EU forums.

We would like to take the time to welcome you to our new forums. We hope you enjoy the new features, such as the ability to post images and videos, and that our forums will continue to be a place to share around the game and its community. The forums are an incredible source of constructive feedback and we hope to continue reading exciting conversations.

Thank you for your presence and patience during this transition. We can not wait to read you!
