Welcome to the place for discussing live Heroes of the Storm Matches! Post your observations and passion here! Rants and raves! Sick plays! Analysis of the professionals at their best!

More seriously, this is the place to post whatever you like related to an ongoing HotS match you're watching, very similar to the SC2 tournament threads. I feel like there aren't enough matches to justify a full thread for each individual match... but there are enough matches going on that it would be nice to have a thread to talk about/record observations without clogging up the other threads. We shall see!

Let your passion....FLOW!

Watching this ESL thing, my first time watching any competitive heroes pretty much. Not sure if it's fun to watch yet.

Big head spirit wolf is pretty hilarious

Hmm so little kills, continuous 5man together and very cautious play :x

Very passive, bit boring. This level 20 fight was cool though.

people love those 5 man together maps, since you can't mess up that easily. And stacking up stun and AoE chain combos are the thing atm. Might change soon again.

That was an awesome game at the end. I thought Uther had it won for Gamers2 with his lvl 20 talent and his timely resurrection.... but nope!

1-1, on to game three! I hope we see tomb of the spider queen at some point.

I was missing a thread like this since I started watching heroes!

So far, great games! Never watched mobas in my life but this is quickly growing on me.

Is this the first or second game (today) between these two teams? I thought LDLC would have some advantage by being in the winners bracket (and already won against g2 yesterday) but so far I have heard nothing of it.

Interesting how they don't pick Stiches. I'd think he'd be very strong with proper team coordination.

RE Game 3: I love seeing Muradin, he's one of my favorite heroes.

I think The Lost Vikings might end up being the weapon possessed by LDLC that Gamers2 isn't able to counter. This game will tell....

EDIT: Damn, that boss snag with the vikings was sick. With the chests appearing on the map, having the vikings take the boss down 60% or so was really really smart.

Squishy Ilidian might have cost them no? Zeratul seemed to be able to stay alive longer.

Blackscorp was playing Kerrigan for the first game I saw today and for some matches yesterday. With Abathur, he looked pretty scary as Kerrigan.

Might be another reason, but that's what I believe it is given the games I've seen.

Kerrigan is good at gathering heroes on one spot and stun them. So if you ban her you destroy the composition without blocking heroes you might want to take.

Is needed to keep the game length down, but maybe they increase structure health again, who knows. Just like LotV where people got better -> so games get longer -> so they now skip the early game -> so games are in the what Blizzard thinks is the perfect match duration (and they are kinda right)
Personally it limits to much to have to go for a certain duration.
