Story time!

Heroes of the Storm 2.0 was the first release we started doing champagne glasses for as a celebration. Reaper of Souls was actually one of the last we did the original way: by soaking the development and supporting release teams in champagne. The new way is admittedly much less wasteful and very cool in that we get a cool momento to keep.

Here's a few pictures from the event itself. I also threw in a picture unabashedly stolen from one of our producers, Tiffany Wat, of the badass goblets we got in celebration of the Rise of the Necromancer launch.

Sorry! These were created exclusively for the development teams. Happy to pass on the desire for more Diablo-ish glassware to our licensing team, though, if that's desired.

isn't that Dustin Browder in the middle holding a champagne bottle ?

Nope! Though Matt Panepinto does kind of look a bit like him if you squint and turn your head sideways. They're quite different if you put them side by side. :)

I can imagine you maliciously sipping from that with an evil grin after a day of hard work.

This may be one of the best response chains I've ever seen from a community manager for a game.

That was a great bit of trivia; thank you for doing what you do!

Thanks for the kind words! Know that we all do what we do out of love for the game. :)
