RESULTS: HGC Korean Pro League Winners Revealed

Much like Europe, Korea has also finalised which teams they will be sending to the 2018 Heroes of the Storm Global Championship Mid-Season Brawl. The ten week season saw KSV Black take the first place spot and an automatic qualification to the Mid-Season Brawl, with the remaining teams in 2^nd to 6^th place forced to duke it out once more for the remaining two spots.

KSV Black had a rough start to the season, losing their first two series to both Ballistix and Tempest, however once they found their footing, they proved unstoppable, claiming victory in their remaining 12 series to finish the season in first place. Though Ballistix did tie their series score of 12-2, the individual match scores ended up being the deciding factors, as Ballistix had lost more individual maps over the course of the season.

The playoffs were brutal for the remaining teams, with Miracle taking down Gluck 3-1 in the first round, only to fall themselves to BlossoM 3-1 in the next round. BlossoM would themselves fall to Tempest 3-2, setting up an exciting finals between Tempest and Ballistix.

No matter the outcome, both Ballistix and Tempest had already booked a spot to the Mid-Season Brawl, however that didn’t stop the teams from fighting to the end. Tempest claimed the first game in their set, taking Battlefield of Eternity. Continuing their momentum, Tempest also claimed victory on Cursed Hollow to set up match point. Ballistix did not go down without a fight however, claiming the nest game on Infernal Shrines to keep their hopes alive. Unfortunately for Ballistix, their run would come to an end, falling short on Sky Temple as Tempest booked the second seed spot at the Mid-Season Brawl, with Ballistix taking the third seed spot.
