Welcome everyone to the 1st season of the ESV Championship Series! This is a league that is being set up to create a sustainable and competitive league for Blizzard's new title Heroes of the Storm!

This league will feature some of the top teams in the Heroes of the Storm Alpha including old SC2 favorites such as http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/IdrA , http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/LzGaMeR , and http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/CauthonLuck as well as the Heroes superstars like ZPs! Tune in every week to see the competitive scene for Heroes of the Storm develop and form right in front of your eyes!

The league will pit 8 teams into two 4 team groups. Each group will play every member of their group a total of four times throughout the season. The top two teams in both divisions will play in an exciting playoff finals!

ALPHA IN PROGRESS - Heroes of the Storm is in a Alpha state at the moment. With that in mind, we will be labeling both the game and broadcasts as Alpha In Progress. Expect baffling tech issues, weird bugs, and other fun things. It is an alpha so it will improve over time!

Introducing the teams

Introducing teams ESV Tempest and ESV Widlfire!

For the 1st time in ESV's long storied E-Sports work, ESV is now the proud owner of not one but two professional gaming teams in Heroes of the Storm!

First up we have ESV Tempest formerly known as Tempest Black. Consisting of many veterans of the alpha, this team has been a top up and coming team for a long period of time. With the additions of Toejamnearl and Nightmare, the team felt like a great fit for an ESV team. The merging of ESV and Tempest will be a strong contender for the ECS!

The ESV Tempest roster will be: Treble, Pithix, Pelleon, Toejamnearl, Nightmare


Next up is another team that looks to be a strong up and coming team is ESV Wildfire. The team did not have a name previously but contains players that every high MMR player has seen many time. Led by Pickles and containing such great players like Wargreymon, ESV Widlfire will be the team that will bring the heat!

The ESV Wildfire roster will be: Pickles, Poom, Bimbz, Wargreymon, Iakona


Next up is perhaps the most well known team in Heroes of the Storm, led by the top Heroes streamer on Twitch TV ZPs, Glorious! Gaming. Glorious also contains a name that will be dear to the hearts of old school Starcraft 2 fans, http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/CauthonLuck. This will be the team to watch, and has been a top team since teams even formed.

Glorious! Gaming roster will be: ZPs, Soma, Glaurung, Syracuse, CauthonLuck


Containing two of the most popular Starcraft 2 players of all time, Team Snowflake is the team that everyone will be betting on for the top spot. Led by the great SC2 player http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/LzGaMeR and containing arguably the most popular SC2 player of all time http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/Idra, this will be an exciting team to have in the ECS Season 1. We are honored to have such amazing E-Sports players in our league.

Team Snowflake roster will be: LzGaMeR, IdrA, LiquidSheth, Faye, Keylax


Symbiote Gaming is one of the strongest teams in the Alpha. Led by former League of Legends professional player Arthelon, this team will be a real challenge for any team put in front of them. Look for the extensive MOBA experience of star player Arthelon and the impressive Sonya play of So1dier to propel Symbiote Gaming to the top!

Symbiote Gaming roster will be: Arthelon, Dreadnaught, Kaeyoh, madtimmy, So1dier


dISSENt is led by the well known Jexia. With a strong roster and much experience in the Alpha, they will bring the wildcard element that every league needs. Watch out for an unexpected team to come take the day!

Team dISSENt roster will be: Jexia, bLuFoX, cattlepillar, Dribblez, Insyder


A late minute replacement for the now defunct Excelsior!, Team 2ARC will look to bring the power of the underdog to take unexpected victories in Division II!

2ARC Gaming roster will be: Afewtrix, EvoLoNN, Keeeferz, Kero, MrJPickles


The final team is one of the big sleeper picks, Clairvoyant Gaming lead by Tsukii. Known for having innovative and cerebral play, Clairvoyant Gaming will be a team to pay attention to all season long!

Clairvoyant Gaming roster will be: Tsukii, Hocfoo, diggguy63, Dissent, Marche

This sounds hype! Maybe I'll have to learn me some high-level heroes and pick up the mic again in the future

EDIT: So... How is this going to work without custom games? Are they adding that feature soon?

I'm looking forward to watching this quite a lot. The first team league for Heroes. Thanks for hosting it Diamond, and GL to the teams
Team LiquidUnderneath it all they were really quite nice. They just got screwed up. Mostly by stuff that wasn't entirely their fault.
