After months of Technical Alpha, Blizzard Entertainment’s Heroes of the Storm™ has officially entered Closed Beta Testing (CBT)! There will be no wipes for existing players, which means that all progression and items purchases made during Technical Alpha will be transferred into CBT.
Players in Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia and the Philippines who would like to take part in CBT will be able to get their codes right here! Just follow these steps:
HOW TO WIN?
- Scroll to the bottom of this page, and leave a comment (make sure you use a valid email) to tell us, who your all-time favourite Blizzard Hero is and why.
- We will randomly pick out winners from 22 Jan. onwards.
- Keys will be emailed to winners from 22 Jan. 2015 onwards, up till 26 Jan. 2015 while we still have keys available.
In conjunction with Heroes of the Storm™ CBT, Blizzard also released the following new features:
- New Battleground – Sky Temple, a new desert-themed Battleground, where players will fight for control of Temples at the center of each lane. Once captured, the Temples fire devastating beams of energy toward enemy structures.
- New Hero – Thrall, Warchief of the Horde, is the newest melee assassin to join the Nexus, bringing fearsome abilities including Chain Lightning, Windfury, and Earthquake.
- Hero League – This new Ranked Play mode enables players (who are level 30 and own at least 10 Heroes) to queue up alone, or in a party of any size, for ranked, competitive matches against other players of similar skill and party size.
- Draft Mode – Enables teams to take turns choosing from Heroes they own. The team that wins the coin toss will be prompted to pick one Hero on the first turn, after which, both teams will alternate picking two Heroes per turn.
- Weekly Sales – Starting with today’s patch, three items will be placed on sale every week, making it even easier to get your favorite heroes, skins, and mounts!

Arthas, because he’s the real King and all the map WOW should be ice because ice is good, it’s cold, it’s slippery and is easier to sleep in it besides being the homeland of the Death Knights
Li Li. I liker her because she’s a funny little girl who just wants to support her team mates.

I like Illidan
Anub’arak, Because He looks like my mother in law! =]
Hi, my favorite character is Raynor.
I like him because he’s a ranged character and I find it easier to survive as a ranged character. He also has the Inspire ability which increases his attack speed and damage for him and his allies which can be awesome. And also I like him because he’s the only character I’ve played on Heroes of the Storm (at a friend) and he’s the hero that lead me through the tutorial missions :).
Thank you for a chance to receive a beta key.
Tassadar, because he is a complete support
Diablo, as the badass old school final boss =D

Jaina proudmore,
Representing all ice mages.
Diablo she’s like my sister

As my favorite race on WOW was always Trolls, and he’s wise and a strong leader to the trolls.
I love Arthas 🙂 I mean he has an incredibly chilling storyline, his character just leaves you breathless and his Frostmourne will freeze your heart… How could you turn the cold shoulder on him?
Anub’arak, no doubt! How could I forget all the hours me and my friends fought this former nerubian king in the epic raids. I had so much fun playing World of Warcraft with my friends several years ago, can’t wait to experience the same in Heroes Of The Storm, having fun with friends is what gaming is all about. Best of luck to you all!
Illidan Stormrage has been my favorite for a long time now. The reason why is that he reminds me of the times when I was a kid and I was playing World of Warcraft: Burning Crusade with some of my best friends!
Played hardcore World of Warcraft for several years (Horde).
So i want to play Thrall of course!
I like Zeratul
Nova, she is so cute.
Diablo! He is a badass
Jaina <3
She have a beaty and painfull story of life. Everything that happends to her family, what happend with Arthas and now with Theramore and the Kirin Tor…

Illidan 🙂
Diablo, just so cool. <3
Kerrigan
I’ve always been a starcraft fan, and I love her story
THRALL
BECAUSE HE IS THE WARCHIEF :v
My all-time favorite is Arthas. I remember playing Warcraft III while I was still a kid… good times.
Why Arthas? Well the answer is quite simple, he was once a role model, a paladin with a heart filled with light and justice. We all know how it ended up, his story shows how a single mistake can make the difference… A fallen hero who once I admired became a vicious villain. When I finally defeated him in WoW: WotLK, I have to admit, his final moments kinda moved me and made me shed a tear or two – after all these years it was finally over and I kinda felt attached to the character. If I ever get access to HOTS (which I’m hoping to get by writing this post :P), I swear I’m gonna play as Arthas over and over till the server crashes! >:D
Diablo!! Good to be able to tank n inflict damage.. 🙂
hope to win :B
Zeratul because I’ve been playing SC ever since I was a kid. 🙂
Hope to win ^_^
