Heroes of the storm


Please never refer to Heroes of the Storm as HotS, there is already a HotS and this will only add confusion. HoS or HS or something like that could make do for now, until LotV releases I guess, but it would still be pretty damn confusing. Not sure why they decided to rename their game with the same acronym as a game that is already released but then again, it is Blizzard.

Of course my school's gaming club meets the same day/time that I work.

Maybe next semester...

Great! You really have to build the community from ground up to keep it healthy. This should boost the (casual) player base and spectator numbers. I wish there will be similar program for high schools some day. Starting at college age might be too late for a pro-career(, but that's propably not the goal here).

Now THIS is something to get excited about!! Makes me happy that Blizzard and TeSPA are reaching out to help support and grow a pretty sweet part of e-Sports. Hearing Suppy talk about Starcraft at his college always sounded pretty cool, and to think that a lot of schools are going to be able to grow their scene just sound phenomenal. Now I kind of can't wait to go to college in a year in a half haha! Props to Blizzard and TeSPA!

I think Blizz said they want it to be called "Heroes".

Back on topic, can someone please explain to me how TeSPA is related to the CSL, and what this news means for the CSL?

There's already a HS too, it's called Hearthstone.

Also this was a little confusing to read, I thought TeSPA would be the Taiwanese eSports Association. ;s

This came a bit late, but better late than never I guess. Kudos to Blizzard and TeSPA. Hearthstone and HotS are still fresh (HotS can potentially get very big once the beta gets released) and so there is still ample time for this program to grow the scene.

It's too late for SC2. A lot of SC2 clubs are dead already. This would have been great in 2011.
Oracle comes in, Scvs go down, never a miscommunication.

It still amazes me the amount of people on TL that get angry when for-profit organizations do anything with the intend to make profit.

Should be a scholarship type thing. This is basically meaningless.
