Bets on Heroes of the Storm

In every genre of cybersport disciplines, there are clear favorites. For example, in strategies this is the second Starcraft. The most popular game among shooters is CS:GO. Traditional leaders of the genre MOBA (multiplayer war arenas) are Dota2 and LoL. However, recently more and more players prefer to bet on Heroes of the Storm.

Features of the game

The game Heroes of the Storm appeared in 2015 and after a couple of months from the standard online games it grew into a serious cyber sport discipline. The main reason is that the developers of the corporation Blizzard Entertainment, who released such legendary strategies as StarCraft and WarCraft, worked on the creation of Heroes.

Strictly speaking, the game – a crossover, where characters from several worlds meet. In this case, the creators themselves include HoS in a completely new genre – Hero Brawler.

Types of bets

Most solid bookmakers accept bets on HoS on terms similar to those on Dota2 and other games of the same genre. Among other things, bettors bet on the outcome of a particular fight, they try to determine the winner of the whole championship, etc. Along with ordinary bets, there are systems, i.e., chains of bets. If you win, you will get a win at increased odds. There are also handicaps, totals and other elements of the standard set.

Some types of bets were developed specifically for the genre MOBA in general and for HoS in particular. Some cyberbookmakers offer bets on the following events:

• the duration of the round and the whole match;
• the most effective and useful player. The indicator can be calculated for a single round or match, as well as for an international championship;
• in-game events such as the arrival to a given point on the game map, powerlevelling the hero (for example, to the tenth level), obtaining a specific artifact (the bet is made on which team will do it first).

Famous tournaments and championships

The largest championship, within which you can bet on Heroes of the Storm, takes place as a part of the BlizzCon festival. This festival is annually organized by the developer of the game, the company Blizzard Entertainment. It involves hundreds of professional gamers from all over the world. It’s known that in 2015 the prize fund of the championship was more than half a million dollars.

In addition to the home tournament, the HoS sports discipline is included in other international championships. This becomes recognition of its popularity among players, spectators and bookmakers. The most famous championships are:

• Global Championship Circuit;
• Heroes of the Future;
• Enter the Storm EU and some others.

Given that the game is positioned in the world of e-sports for just over a year, there are all prerequisites to the fact that after a while it will become one of the market leaders, attract thousands of professional gamers and will be a part of all world competitions.

Where and how to bet?

Despite the fact that cybersport discipline is gaining momentum in the betting world, bookmakers already actively work with many international competitions.

Not all bookmakers work with e-sports. One of them is the company 1xBet, on the website of which such a competition is devoted to a separate section.

In addition to solid bookmakers, specialized companies also take bets on the results of the HoS confrontations. Among the cyber-bookmakers E-Bets Online, Egaming Bets and some others are leaders.

To place a bet on the selected website, you will have to fill out a registration form. Subsequently, when you withdraw the won money from the account, the bookmaker will require verification – for this it’s enough to send a scan of the passport. Some companies require this at the first account replenishment. After the first deposit, you can bet.

Helpful Tips

Both beginners and experienced bettors should be aware that HoS is a new e-sports discipline. It’s very important to monitor all the solid tournaments, since almost any player can improve, and new “stars” appear monthly.

It’s very important to look through the statistics of previous meetings, speeches, the existing leader ratings. Despite the fact that it’s too early to make unambiguous conclusions regarding the teams, it’s possible to identify a likely favorite of the future meeting.

It’s also necessary to monitor all the changes that occur in the team. Experienced gamers can move to other teams from time to time that can strengthen some and weaken the other participants in an important meeting.
