The global phenomenon of people playing games competitively – known as eSports- had reached an impressive viewership of over 70,000,000 by April last year, cementing itself as one of the world’s most viewed sports.

Blizzard Entertainment, one of the world’s leading games publishers, today invites you to a press event to mark the launch of their hugely anticipated eSports title, Heroes of The Storm.

Just as Blizzard introduced all kinds of people to a whole new life of adventure with World Of Warcraft, the company are now preparing to usher in an unprecedented new breed of athletes with their game changing eSports title - Heroes of The Storm.

While other online videogames have attempted to infiltrate the mainstream sporting world, Heroes of The Storm is the first game to actually succeed.  For the first time in history, ESPN 2 broadcast a live video game tournament - an inter college Heroes of The Storm competition entitled ‘Heroes of The Dorm’, which saw over 100,000 people tune into to watch people compete on the yet to be released title.

Taking place at Old Billingsgate on the 1st June, the all star launch event will be hosted by prestigious comedian Iain Lee and see guest appearances from world famous StarCraft host and translator SMIX.
