MOBA Monday is a weekly showcase of how to perform, eh, let’s go with adequately – we hope – in a massive online battle arena. The streaming squad features the hottest, upcoming or most interesting titles of their and the communities fancy for a few rounds of PvP shenanigans in our weekly Twitch channel staple.
How could we not follow up BlizzCon with a little taste of Heroes of the Storm. It’s not everyday that you receive an early taste of what’s to come in a MOBA guided by the art director for the company. Only to have that followed up by an in-depth interview on the overarching philosophy for the multiplayer online battle arena that’s been in development and changed names more than Blizzard likely cares to count. It hasn’t been nearly six weeks – the normal patch iteration for HotS – so Jaina, The Lost Vikings and Thrall aren’t possible. Nor is a romp on Sky Temple. But hey, Muradin is playable this week and that’s more than we can guarantee for World of Warcraft.
The back half of today’s stream will return us to the god-filled world of SMITE. Just as BlizzCon is being followed by its MOBA so is the SMITE Regional Championships being led to by the very game that is the reason for Hi-Rez Studios to organize a large tournament atmosphere in (hopefully sunny) Atlanta, Georgia this weekend. Lore Hound will be there with bells on, but before we show up there’s a definite need to get at least my head back in the game, some wins under my belt and Worshipers in my corner.
MOBA Monday will kick off around 1:00 PM EST. Hit the jump or head directly to the channel page to watch live. Don’t forget to follow for all the updates and giveaway opportunities, including this week’s SMITE god and skin codes!
