Where can I find out what tournaments are coming up or are streaming at that moment?

the "live stream" section on the right side has hots streams. there are just none featured online atm.
for tournaments click on "april" and set the filter to "others": you have to wade through all the CS:GO tourneys to find the HotS though.
or you simply go to the ESL heroes homepage and take a look there.

How does Abathur experience gathering work? Presumably the hero gains from being near killed enemies, what about locusts and symbioted minions?

Symbiote can gather XP as far as I know, but locusts cannot.

Well technically, locus can. They just need to deal the last hit to get the experience, but since you can't control them, that mostly never happens.

Abathur can soak exps by being near enemies when they die. If the locusts get last hit you soak and if your toxic nests last hit you soak. The most reliable way to soak exps is through your symbiote

1) Does anyone feel there aren't many tournaments/streams going on for a game so close to release? What do you think of the potential as a large Esport? I guess I'm comparing to Dota2 BETA unfairly as the scene was already massive from DOTA.

2) Soaking: Is there any way of judging how close you need to be to enemy deaths to get the experiences though? If I sit behind the wall of my fort and theres a fight in the mid lane I assume too far, but what's it based on - vision range?

3) Is Anub'Arak viable at the moment in any role?

I think so... there was a patch where they changed it slightly to reduce DPS. I think the one where they renamed it from Hot Shots?

I've been thinking about doing a Tyrael guide for a while now, but the problems are that there isn't much to him at this point and that Blizzard has indicated that they are going to rework him. The talents to take are Purge Evil, Amplified Healing, Battle Momentum, Judgment, Imposing Will, Blood for Blood, and either Angel of Justice or Hardened Shield at 20.

1) There are a fair number of tournaments, but there aren't many stream viewers. I'm guessing that is largely a function of the smallish player base. We'll see what happens when Open Beta or Release occurs.

2) You will see little "xp" popups when enemy minions die if you are soaking.

3) Not really. He doesn't do much damage. He's too squishy to be a main tank. He doesn't peel very well. You can use him as an offtank or use him in a dive comp in conjunction with Tyrael, but I wouldn't pick him otherwise.

You can personally check the soaking range in-game. Whenever you see 'xp' over dying enemy minions then you are in soaking range (assuming that you are the closest hero and minions were not killed by via ability or minion created by ability / passive).

But in 16 : 9 resolutions the soaking range is little less than half screen sideways. If you sit behind the wall and minions die mid lane (mid between both sides' walls), you will not get any xp unless the minion was killed by your ability or minion created by your ability. Some heroes that often miss xp are e.g. Abathur if he is not 'body soaking' close enough (Aba gets XP if hat is close enough or killing blow from locust/mine or Aba physically close enough) and Azmodan as he often ventures too far to throw his Globe of Annihilation (seems to happen especially to players picking Sieging Wrath - kills with the globe still reward xp). Often also cloaked heroes stay too far when they are alone in the lane (e.g. when filling in for another hero who went to refill mana).

I know things have been answeared here but i feel some further things can be add to questions 1 and 3.

1) I think the potential for esports is huge. It may be true that it doesnt have the same amount in that regard compared to Dota, but i feel for a beta game its totally ok. Few games actually have as much going on at that time and as you say already Dota2 was probaly a special case. However Blizzard is obviously a gigantic company and they are serious about it so they will most likely succed. You could see that at the Heroes of the dorm tournement, which was broadcasted live on Espn. So they are really stepping up and a lot of further activity is planned. Additionally the game has a good esports potential. It's easier to understand for casual viewership than Lol/Dota and the fast paced games also add to that. It remains to be seen how much depth/skill cap it will have in the end, but i'm not too worried even tho it's hard to tell.



3) As mentioned previously Anub isn't in a great spot atm, however i wouldn't be too worried unless you're playing high level. However even in high level Anub starts to become a choice in a certain composition. That comp focuses on having 4 Blood for Blood talents choosen at level 16 and Anub is able to choose that talent in contrary to the other tanks. You can see the comp for example here:
where khaldor explains it a bit. Afterwards in the games of the previous week you will find this/similar comp been used by several top teams of Eu and thus also Anub.

There exist these pictures of Johanna, but she doesn't appear to be on any playable roster in the game. Are these just teasers for now, or is there actually a way to play as her currently?

I'm really enjoying starting HOTS but I'm only level 16 and 14 more levels until Hero League is going to be annoying. I hate hate hate crappy QM teams where you get 3 assassins, Sgt. Hammer and a Sonya. What's the best way to approach these games? Lifesteal talents? Aggressive pushes with your extra damage? Just play support every game despite my quests?

Buy a stimpack to increase how fast you level up
Honestly, I just played a little with every hero... I used QM as an opportunity for me to learn the basics and for me to figure out which heroes I love playing with. You'll never be able to correctly guess what hero type you "should have been" to fill in a missing niche in your team.
I picked heroes based on my daily quests and I made sure I got everyone to level 5 for the bonus gold.
It was more fun this way for me (picking whoever I wanted).

It may seem like much, bust trust me, it is neccessary that you go trough that experience, familiarize yourself with a variety of heroes, and you can have a good versatil rooster for hero league.

If you get 3 assasins, so exploit the fact that you will deal way more damage to the enenemy and surely burst them fast, and try to play very carefully on team fights trying to not be caught out of position. Idk what more advice I can give you with the limited information, but QM enables you o try and think outside the box to overcome the matchmaking
