Heroes of the storm has grown to have a nice life on TeamLiquid. We have a thriving forum, a calendar feature, an awesome Liquipedia section, and a host of writers who produce amazing content on a consistent basis. It's time for us to grow that and give Heroes a more permanent home on our site, so you can find all this content in one place. We're happy to announce a landing page where, finally, the TL users can do that.

Shortly we'll also have a link to this on the top of the website so its easily found from any page on TeamLiquid. As with anything in life this is all subject to change. We're already looking at additions we can make and we're always striving to improve. Your feedback is always helpful there, so let us know what we could do to make it nicer for you or what information you want listed there. Maybe more gadgets. I like gadgets.

Glad to see this finally up. The Heroes Writing team has been working really hard to get as much traffic coming through here as possible. This will finally open up us up to some people who may not have known how hard we work over here ^^.

I think it's reasonable when you look at how relatively dead LiquidHearth is compared to how much people actually play Hearthstone. It's hard to predict what games people are going to want to talk about. Plus everyone wants to access the same blogs / community threads anyways, so why bother splitting the site each time a new game starts to take off?

Sounds like a great April fool's day hero rotation.

Is LiquidHearth dead? I don't go there enough to know how regularly updated it is, etc., but I certainly find new content from good writers (including pros) on a pretty regular basis when I visit...
Okay, feedback first
Is it just because it's new that there are no links under the Discussion and Guides sections? Also text is kinda hard to see on images and isn't quite consistent with the formatting on the rest of TL.net. Is that on purpose, or is there still updating to be done?
Anyways, I'm very excited to see that TL is finally giving Heroes a little front page love because:

Don't want to sound negative, but this looks like an Elephant's Graveyard where Hots can go die in peace without disturbing the SC main page. I mean, in that landing page there is like nothing. 17 featured stream of witch none about Hots. The latest Spotlighted thread is random ramblings about fotm hero.
I really don't get this trend of splitting the community by game. Was not happy when Dota got splitted, even tho that was big enaugh to at least be understandable. This seems unnecessary.

This was the best way to go about it.
For consistency's sake, if the developers made separate domains for all the other games, then heroes should get its own domain as well. Personally I think the switch to separate domains was disastrously bad, so perhaps those can be changed to have their own landing page as well. It's probably too late for that though.

I want to share a little bit of insight about what we think of the landing page, why is it necessary and what does it mean for Liquid heroes going forward.
First of all, the heroes of the Storm staff has been putting a lot of effort creating articles and guides with a good amount of success, still we know we can do more than that.
It is pretty hard to grow a community by having just a forum, so we needed a space dedicated to Heroes of the Storm that would enable us to grow the community outside of TL existing user base, allowing us to grow.
And so the idea of having a landing page was proposed. This would enable us to have a space within TL, maintaining the existing user base without bothering the sc2 fan base by taking their space, while also giving us a place to grow, and give the community something nicer than just a forum.
Going forward we are already planning on further improvements to the landing page by adding other sections like featured videos, liquidpedia and others. We are going to also be rampig up our coverage inside TL, as most of what we've done esports related has been going towarda heroesofthestorm/esports with out partnership with Blizzard.
The dissucussion and Guide thinga are buttons that take you to the current general discussion thread and our staff guide compilation.
If you have feedback of how we can improve this please share it. We know there is still much to be done but we wanted to get this out to you as fast as we could so you had a better place to discuss the game.
And to Dekalinder you need to go to your right bar settings to enable your heroes of the Storm streams.
We also have a couple of other announcements to make in the very near future so look forward to that.

Awesome! Thank you guys! :D

Liking the way you are doing the HOTS work, always read and lurk in there. Liquipedia on it as usual is very informative, so keep it up team!
