Heroes of the Storm fans have plenty to watch Saturday and Sunday.
This weekend — February 27 and 28 in Los Angles — the best Heroes of the Storm teams in North America will compete for a chance to enter the game’s Spring Global Championship, which takes place in South Korea from April 1 to April 3. Those in the North America qualifiers will fight for a $100,000 prize pool, and two teams will advance to the championships, which will have a $500,000 prize pool. The esports market will hit $463 million this year and $1.1 billion by 2019, according to Newzoo.
Heroes of the Storm is a multiplayer online battle arena game, similar to the mega-hit League of Legends, which has around 70 million active players a month. Blizzard doesn’t release similar numbers for Heroes of the Storm, but it’s unlikely to be near League of Legends in popularity.
