Fired in a Blog Post: The End of Heroes of the Storm Esports
Blizzard Entertainment's decision in December 2018 to end the professional competitive league for Heroes of the Storm (HotS), announced with little warning, forms the starting point for this DiGRA 2019 paper by Patrick Prax.
- Blizzard Entertainment ended the professional competitive league for Heroes of the Storm (HotS) in December 2018, announcing the decision with little warning.
- The study is based on seven qualitative open-structure interviews (90 to 180 minutes each) with former and prospective professional players, team managers, casters, and board members of European and North American amateur HotS leagues, analysed via thematic analysis.
- Preliminary findings suggest Blizzard's professional league was both a rallying point and aspirational model for players, yet it also constrained the organic growth of HotS esports.
