What is the "For Azeroth" Event?
"For Azeroth" is a Heroes of the Storm event that begins February 14th (US) / February 15th (EU) and runs through March 14th. For this event you must play 15 Heroes of the Storm games with a friend. Winning or Losing doesn't matter as long as you complete those 15 games along with your friend. You can play all 15 games with 1 friend or have a full team of friends! If you aren't confident in your skills within the Nexus, you can complete these 15 games against AI or if you feel like you can take anyone on you can complete these in Quick Play mode against other players as well!

Once you load into Heroes of the Storm, you will see a Quest Objective on the right hand side of the screen. You will need to complete the quest which will unlock the mount for both Heroes of the Storm and World of Warcraft. Once completed, it should automatically be in rewarded to you in each respective game. In World of Warcraft it may automatically show up in your mounts tab OR in the mailbox.

When you have selected "Play" as well as which Game mode you want to play, you can then click on the hero in the center of your screen, then the "Warcraft" icon at the top of the screen and you will then filter out the Heroes you can use and which are available in order to complete the quest for the mount.

When you first log onto Heroes of the Storm, you will be prompted to complete a tutorial. When you finish the tutorial, you are given the choice of one of three Warcraft heroes permanently for free: Jaina, Muradin, or Tyrande.
-
Each week different heroes are available to play for free. For
Feb 14 - 21st, Malfurion, Varian, Sylvanas, Greymane, Rexxar, Uther.
How long do games take?
Games usually take around 30 minutes--they are faster than other MOBAs. You should be able to complete these games in the tutorial AI mode as well, which can go faster.
How do I queue with a friend?
To queue with a friend, make sure both you and your friend/s are on each other battle.net friends lists. Then simply log into the game, click on your social tab on the bottom right hand corner of your screen or hit "o" and it will pull up your friends list. From your friend list you can then click on the little icon on the right side of the friend you would like to invite. Once you have your friend/s invited into a party, you can then select on the top of the screen "Play".
From here you will be presented with a few options.
-
Versus A.I. (recommended for brand new players to Heroes of the Storm or Moba games in general)
-
Quick Match (recommended for those who have some understanding on the game and want to play against other real players.)
-
Unranked
-
Ranked
-
Brawl
-
Custom Games
Note: We are unsure if "Brawl" and "Custom Games" mode can count towards the quest objective of obtaining the mount.
If you are brand new to moba's and heroes, it is recommended to at least try the tutorial OR play with a friend that knows a little bit and can help explain a long the way! For your very first game it's probably best just to have a warm up game against the A.I. Versus mode just to get more familiar with the controls. A.I games do count towards the mount so no time is wasted.
What is a MOBA?
The definition of a MOBA is: Multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA), also known as action real-time strategy (ARTS), is a genre of strategy video games that originated as a subgenre of real-time strategy, in which a player controls a single character in one of two teams.
Essentially using teamwork and strategy in order to complete an objective which usually the control or destruction of the opposing teams base.
In Heroes of the Storm there are many different maps which each have different objectives but all leading to the destruction of the enemy teams "Core".
