Exciting to see what this game has to offer.

Will there be drafting and no duplicate heroes? Or will both teams get to make whatever comp they want.

Yes will be a 1 ban per team draft system, format like LoL's.

Is there really a need for a ban given how small the hero pool is?

Hero pool size doesn't really matter, bans make drafts more interesting.

I have something exacting to announce! For the 1st week we have set up a very special North America vs Korea showmatch to kick off the broadcast with!

Week 1 will be opened by a special BO3 showmatch between Team dISSENt and Team No Limits, the team of former SC2 progamers from Korea! Watch old SC2 favorites such as AcE, Noblesse, sc, and CrazyMoving!

We are all very excited to bring you this special match and believe kicking off the Heroes scene with a NA vs KOR showmatch seemed like a fun and appropriate opportunity!

Only 4 hours until the ECS begins! Make sure and check out our Reddit post here for more info: http://www.reddit.com/r/heroesofthestorm/comments/2ejr0b/when_this_post_is_4_hours_old_the_esv/

For Week 1, Excelsior! had some roster issues and was unable to play. They will be 0-3 this week forfeiting this week's matches. I am sorry for the fans that wanted to see these matches, but with a game so early in these types of issues are bound to happen.

We will be working close with Excelsior! this week to make sure we can assist in any way to fix this issue, however they have been informed that if they cannot complete a full roster for this upcoming week, they will be replaced by another team.

All other games are all set to go and I hope everyone enjoys the broadcast!

Hey Diamond, really enjoying the games tonight! Unfortunately I couldn't watch them all. Are you going to post the results in this thread? Or possibly link to a results page? That would be awesome
