Stormgate's closed beta starts December 5, and while you may not be able to get your hands on it just yet, Frost Giant has found a way to ensure that you'll be able to experience it regardless. Some of twitch's biggest streamers will be streaming Stormgate over the coming week as they dive into 3 player coop and 1v1 action - headlined by OTKNetwork founders Asmongold and Esfand. It's important to note that not a single streamer was paid by Frost Giant to do this - per Frost Giant, everyone involved is just "doing this out of genuine support for the future of RTS."
Frost Giant plans to have a host of different streamers - both mainstream names like Asmongold, Esfand, and Lirik as well as RTS greats like Grubby, PiG, and Lowko - to showcase Stormgate from December 5-9. They also list some streamer to be announced - I wonder who that could be?
You can find the full list and schedule below:

Shoutout to StormgateHub for converting the stream times into a global format!
Of course, if you want more polished esports content, Frost Giant's got you more than covered - RTS legends TL.MaNa and SR.TLO will duel for the honor of contesting Warcraft III GOAT Moon over a series of Showmatches at Dreamhack Atlanta (twitch - 11:00 EST / 17:00 CET / 03:00 AEDT (next day)) cast live in perosn by Nick 'Tasteless' Plott and Dan 'Artosis' Stemkoski - the great 'Tastosis' GSL casting archon!
Frost Giant plans to be there for the entirety of Dreamhack Atlanta to provide an opportunity to play the game and get to know the developers, and there will also be developer panels between the showmatches.
As always, if you want to engage with the Frost Giant developers and get information from them as they post it, you should sign up for their newsletter, head on over to /r/Stormgate on reddit, and sign up for the beta and wishlist the game on steam!
