The Heroes of the Dorm collegiate tournament will reach its frenzied conclusion when the Grand Finals kick off this Sunday, April 26, at the Shrine Expo Hall in Los Angeles! Our Heroic Four teams have bashed and brawled their way through weeks of competition, as well as teams hailing from hundreds of schools across North America, to reach the Heroic Four -- but only one can emerge victorious. Join us in-person, or online, to cheer on the Heroic Four as they seek to earn ultimate glory in the Nexus, and win free college tuition along the way.
