Yeah, Orange Caramel, who is like a sub group of After School.
Anyway, I wish this tournament got more attention.
What's insane is this venue at the beach, that's usually Finals-territory. Let alone Group stages of a tournament. Is it special because its the first day or are they seriously going to have it at the beach every step of the way?

Acording to miwa, MVP black say's they practice around 14 hours a day, and I don't have any reasons to think they are lying. Everyone just talks about heroes in NA vs teams in europe. When they finally meet, I think a lot of people will be surprised.
I'm not sure about the second team, but one of the teams of the showmatch was: Kingdom, IntoTheRain, MC, JulyZerg and Ruby.
We've only had one instance of Eastern teams facing Western ones, at IEM Shenzhen. China brought a couple of T2 teams and got bopped by MVP Black and VP, then Black took the Russians to school and that was that. Navi, TL, Fnatic, Tempo, C9, coL, none of those teams have ever had a noted tournament against a team from outside their region, so it's hard to tell how they'll do against eStar and DK when they meet at Blizzcon.
As for the OGN league, there are only 3 teams who have shown any reason to believe that they'll take it - Black, DK, and Snake.

So they opted for the 1pm no viewers schedule?
I remember when BW made that regretful decision...and still remember when they change it back to have EU on board and increase viewers again 
Did anyone watch the games today? Were they any fun? Was there many people watching?

I didnt get to pay attention to them. The audience looked full, and I think it had 1k viewers or so. It got a shoutout on the offical heroes twitter.

Well if at least the studio was full that is good I guess 
1k viewers was not good however.

This is going to be good: Team Snake vs. MVP Black. Snake already has a wild comp vs. something that's somewhat more standard:
Cursed Hollow
MVP Black: Johanna, Tyrael, Nazeebo, Valla, Uther
Snake: Anub'Arak, Arthas, Zagara, Sgt. Hammer, Karazhim
How wild is that? No Jaina, no Kael..... that's the bruiser-warrior meta for you.

That's just how the Korean meta for the last month+ has been. They even do triple warrior comps sometimes.

I don''t know if going Pyromaniac over Chain bomb is worth it. Definitely a misclick seeing that they really need those damage.

Yeah, the past month has just been full of those Kharazhim/Hammer comps, the last 3 OGNs I watched had them too! Same heroes, same patch for the last month+

If that is sarcasm...you need to do better lol
Valiver was just referring to the 2/3 tank meta and obviously not the monk

The games are back on and as usual, they are like watching finely conducted orchestras battle against each other. If you enjoy watching Heroes you should really turn these on.

What I said wasn't sarcasm, it was pointing out the context of my post that apparently you and Valiver are too lazy to read, because my post obviously did point out the monk. I suppose I didn't explicitly say that the context of my post was in reference to the patch, and that was my mistake, apologies for that. I shouldn't have assumed someone wanting to discuss the OGN heroes on an online message board would have basic knowledge of the current meta (which had JUST changed, for the patch had JUST been introduced a few days before the match).
The intent of my original post was to point out that with the new patch, the Korean bruiser style had been combined with new strategies not seen before the patch, and it would be interesting to see the which comp came out on top: (double warrior + "standard picks") against the wild comp (hammer, kharazim, still double warrior). Before the patch, there would have been a Jaina or Kael. But since Kael's main strategy was shifted to be a close range damage dealer who has counterplea available against him, and since Jaina was nerfed, it seems these are obvious evolutions to a bruiser-heavy meta.
And then the posted response is "SOMETIMES THEY EVEN HAVE THREE WARRIORS!", which could have been interesting if it was intended to begin a discussion about the ramifications of the patch upon the korean bruiser meta we know and love.... but alas, it wasn't.
