This week on Esport Talk blaDE of Team Expert talks Heroes of the Storm and why he believes it has vast potential. 

The Blizzard MOBA title may not be as big as LoL or Dota but it has quite the fanbase. Jens Hilgers and The Esports Observer recently placed it in the tier two category alongside the likes of Overwatch and SMITE. Tier one incidentally was made up of League, CS:GO, Dota 2 and Hearthstone. 

This hasn’t escaped the attention of German-based home electronics company Expert who signed the former roster Two Bees Determined earlier this month.

The up-and-coming squad’s captain Sebastian ‘bLaDe’ Petraschke became the latest guest on Esport Talk last week.

He discussed his background, his path so far which started off with League of Legends incidentally, and how he came to be captain of Expert. 

In this podcast bLaDe explains what it takes to face up against the best in the scene, and how his team practices. Expert have qualified for the European 2017 Heroes of the Storm Pro League so it’s well worth a listen for any aspiring pros or amateur teams.

ESI Ranking System
We’ve created a ranking system to help you quickly know how good each gambling platform is. As gamblers ourselves, we know which factors matter most to you, so we follow a best-in-class methodology to test each one with no stone unturned. Once done, we then rank each platform based on the following tiers:
  • A-Tier High-quality sites that deliver a top experience every time. They boast strong performance, nice features, and reliable support, but are just shy of perfection.
  • B-Tier Solid platforms that are worth a spin. They’re safe, fun, and functional, but may be lacking advanced features or have minor drawbacks.
  • S-Tier Reserved for elite operators only. These go well beyond the norm with lucrative bonuses, rewarding promotions, lightning-fast payouts, and a flawless experience overall.
