Nice! I was watching few days in a row when I had a time and I have to admit production is freaking awesome and on high lvl! Keep a good work!

Will check out the VODs, thank you for bringing this to my attention <3

Just started watching vods of day 1. I thought Gillyweed did a good job in the NA eSports Heroes so it's good to see her getting other opportunities.
It's really funny see how different the meta there is. Game 1 and Uther takes Divine Storm, good start to the wackiness so far!

From everything I've seen of Chinese Heroes, there's eStar, and then there's everyone else.

Wish TL were on the list
As a relative newcomer to the scene, is it KR vs. foreigners all over again? I've watched many TL HotS vods and have been really impressed. Hopefully it's not like that, at least for now.

It hasn't really taken off in KR, so for now, I don't think it will be like that unless we see some surprises from the 1 Korean team allowed at blizzcon.

Apologies for no matches today. I haven't heard a confirmation of why, but it seems likely that it was a schedule conflict with WCA (World Cyber Arena). Will update when I find out about yesterdays matches as well as tomorrows scheduled matches.
