LOS ANGELES -- Blizzard says it will pay each team competing in one of its Heroes of the Stormtournaments at least $100,sarah taylor mormon eco-eroticism000 no matter where they place, possibly the largest guaranteed minimum in esports.

Blizzard's head of esports Tweeted this on Wednesday kicking off annoucments for BlizzCon opening week:
All #HGC Pro League teams competing from January to November will earn AT LEAST$100,000. Let's go!!!!

Though it was known Blizzard planned to compensate each team regardless of place, what we didn't know was how much. Between prize purses and team bonuses Blizzard is investing up to $3.2 million into the HotSscene.
The most recent HotStournament is starting this week and concluding at BlizzCon 2016 on November 5. The Heroes of the StormGlobal Championship will feature a $1,000,000 prize pool.
Team minimums are in addition to winnings, a bold and strategic move: Minimums incentivize teams to continue playing the developer's game. In the past Call of Dutyand League of Legendstournaments have offered compensation, but only around $10,000 per player. With $100,000 per team split five ways you're doubling that.
The HotSHGC finals will be held at BlizzCon in Anaheim, California, from November 4-5.
