Naventic is also going. C9 lost their last chance to qualify. If naventic had won, c9 and gale force would play best of 3 to see who would qualify.

Hello everyone!

I've been always fascinated by the eSports aspect of Heroes of the Storm. I enjoy watching tournament streams, supporting my favorite teams, savoring beautiful moments and elegant tactical moves.

However, when it comes to looking up team statistics every single time I hit the dead end. Indeed, there are tons of websites were one can find information about the tournaments, cybersports news, team and player statistics, recordings of the games and replays. The problem is that this is not a one website, but rather a multitude of unrelated and disconnected web resources.

I'm a web developer by trade. Throughout many years, I've acquired extensive experience in designing non-standard websites. Naturally, I've decided to put my skills to the test and create such a Heroes of the Storm pro-gaming website that I myself would want to use it. After a couple of months of cranking out the code and working on the contents, I think it's ready, but I'll let you be the judge: http://masterleague.net.

At the core of the website is manually gathered data from Twitch streams on many matches that were recently played during large tournaments. On the match pages (see, e.g. http://masterleague.net/match/383/) you can find detailed draft with players to heroes distributions and teams match history. I also attach the recordings of the games from YouTube in different languages (fast-forwarded to the beginning of the match) and replay files, if I can find them. Collected data is then used to build various reports, from team (http://masterleague.net/team/team-naventic/) and player (http://masterleague.net/player/141/) statistics to meta-reports for each of the regions, patches and tournaments (http://masterleague.net/tournament/15/). And all this is just the tip of the iceberg!

The home page offers latest eSports news, information about player transfers, as well as the calendar of the upcoming tournaments. Note that all times are local times. As soon as the tournament starts, I put up links to the streams (sample: https://imgur.com/HcLiiwB). As the tournament progresses, I'm trying to timely add completed matches to the database. On one hand, this brings you up-to-date information about the playoffs, and, on the other hand, gives a space to leave your comments on the most interesting matches (see comments section on the match page).

I'm certainly not done with it yet, and I'll keep updating the website with the fresh contents & rolling out new features. A special appeal to the players and sportscasters: I'd greatly appreciate you sending your replays my way, and I'll certainly mention you in the credits (http://masterleague.net/credits/).

If you've got any questions, most are hopefully covered on the FAQ page. Please do report any discrepancies or bugs using the feedback form (http://masterleague.net/feedback/) or just leave a comment below.

I really hope that you'll like my website and will soon become a regular there!
