Heroes of the Storm appears in Pacquiao, Mayweather fight

Pacquiao vs Mayweather Fight

How many of you watched Pacquiao and Mayweather duke it out for ultimate bragging rights Sunday morning? We certainly did, but the fight itself is not why we’re here. We were just curious as to how many of you noticed that Blizzard’s MOBA-that-isn’t-really-a-MOBA Heroes of the Storm (HOTS) was being advertised throughout the match?

Not many of you noticed this, did you. Don’t feel bad, neither did we.

Blizzard must have spent a pretty penny to have that done when you consider the sorts of numbers and sheer volume of cash thrown around prior to and during that fight. Meanwhile, Riot Games and Valve are laughing all the way to the bank.

Neither Dota 2 nor League of Legends need any assistance being the massive phenomenons that they are.

    HOTS is the shizzness! Loving that it is more team based than dota and LOL, the amount of times I have tried to rally people to do anything in Dota and tear them away from farming that item that completes their build…Welcome it so much, the item farming was just plain selfish.

    Also 20 minute games opposed to 40-50 min games is great too.
    If I wear Dota/LOL i would be very scared.Blizzard has made the best RTS(SC2), the BEST MMORPG(WoW), one of the BEST ARPG(DIablo) and now its coming for the MOBA players 😉
