Are you eager to join the fray and test your mettle in the forge of eternal combat? Well, Closed Beta is just around the corner, on January 13, 2015, and we wanted to take a moment to remind you how you can opt-in for a chance to join us in Heroes of the Storm!

How Do I Opt-in to Test Heroes of the Storm?

If you haven’t opted-in to test Heroes of the Storm yet, now is the perfect time, because we’re continuing to invite more and more players into the Nexus on a regular basis!

In order to give yourself the best chance at gaining access to testing in the future, you’ll want to make sure you’ve opted in to Heroes of the Storm testing using the Beta Profile page found within your Battle.net Account. When prompted, you’ll need to download and run the System Check tool in order to attach your computer’s specifications to your profile and then check the Heroes of the Storm opt-in box, as pictured below.

As always, be extra mindful of shady characters who wish to steal your login credentials through phishing attempts, which are often disguised by falsified emails and websites. What’s more, Alpha and Beta keys are not necessary and are not currently being given out during this phase of testing. Please be warned that any key generators or other offers for a key are most certainly suspicious.

The best way to ensure an invite is the real deal is to avoid clicking any links. Instead, log in to your Battle.net account and check the Summary section to see if a Heroes of the Storm license has been added to your account.

We have more exciting stuff in store, including another epic giveaway, so make sure to stay tuned to our official site. Also keep an eye on HeroesoftheStorm.com, follow @BlizzHeroes on Twitter, Like Heroes of the Storm on Facebook, and subscribe to Heroes of the Storm on YouTube to keep up with all the latest news and updates!

Thanks again for your continued passion for Heroes of the Storm, and we hope to see you in the Nexus soon!
