As part of our goal to bring you the best Heroes content on the web, our writing team is pleased to present to you our brand new group podcast, Nexus Nights! Based on the success of TL Strategy’s Strat Chat, we decided that, alongside the launch of our official Twitter account, this was an opportune time to start up our own podcast to cover topics relating to our favorite game, Heroes of the Storm. The writers are all high-ranked and knowledgeable players, and we believe we can bring a new perspective to the scene when compared to podcasts like Town Hall Heroes and Into the Nexus, and alas, this is the product of our efforts.
The topics of the show will be centered on current events and in-game trends, ranging from discussion about teams and tournaments to in-depth overviews of the changing meta. We really want to focus in on ideas and examine how they affect the game and the scene as a whole rather than just talking about current events with rather generalized opinions. Furthermore, we hope that these podcasts will be educational to some degree in their discovery of concepts and ideas related to Heroes of the Storm.
Next Show: February 27 at 02:00 GMT (+00:00) - Subject to change Stream
Episodes air every other Saturday at 9:00 PM EST on our live stream. If you miss the chance to tune in or missed some details, this thread will be updated with VoDs and audio recordings within a few days of broadcasting. Also, if you have an RSS feed, you can subscribe to our channel and keep up with us that way.
Tune in, hang out, and invite your friends! Welcome to Nexus Nights!
I loved listening to this, that was a real treat. I gave up listening to Town Hall because every episode breaks down into them yelling at each other, I couldn't stand it, and I've been looking for another podcast ever since. I think this may be my new go to Just wish it was every week!
Thanks for doing this, always love more content to feed the addiction.

Thank you! We've been excited to do something like this, and even though this was still a little subpar to what we're aiming for, we're glad that people find it enjoyable and informational. Our next podcast should be even more focused .
BTW, the date for the next show is Dec 5th and WE WILL BE STREAMING LIVE! It will also be added to the TL calendar to the right if you forget .
Reminder that we will be streaming Episode #2 live tomorrow night at 9:00pm EST at www.twitch.tv/johnsc2! (VoDs will also be available, but it's much more fun to see your bright, shiny faces).
We will be talking about Dreamhack and the European teams!

It would appear that the time in the top post of this thread is wrong.
Not that I'm aware, it should convert the time to whatever time zone you're in. Double-checked it on my pc and through a friend in another time zone. It should be accurate.
Video for Episode 2 is up! I apologize greatly for the delay! I used an encoding for the video that blew it up to 16GB (:O), so it took forever to process and then upload to YouTube. Solution was found, though, so videos will be up much sooner in the coming future.
Our next episode is scheduled for Saturday the 19th and will likely be focused on WCA and Towers of Doom.

Contacting Shz about it now, sorry for any inconveniences!
Also, a reminder that we have our third show TONIGHT at 9:00pm EST at Twitch.tv/JohnSC2!! You can also follow our Twitter @LiquidHeroes to find out exactly when we're going live. We're going to be talking a lot about drafting! :D
EDIT: OH, and we are showing off all the skin ideas from the skin giveaway contest! Your hard work will be shown off to the world!
Hahaha, it is encoding AS WE SPEAK. Will upload it tonight and it should be up by tomorrow. I can probably get the audio portion up a bit sooner though.

Sorry! I dropped the ball on this one. The second and third episodes should be up now. We are also working on getting us on iTunes but there are some problems atm.
Episode #4 is up on the American Scene, how unique maps play a decisive role in Heroes of the Storm, and our discussion on Towers of Doom! Hope you all enjoy!
Our latest episode is out! We talked about the recent flurry of balance patches and where Blizzard might need to focus their attention most right now. Enjoy!
Just an update: we'll be doing Nexus Nights this weekend a few hours after the EU qualifier ends for the day. We're still finalizing topics, but it's likely to be centered on the recent qualifiers and how the competitive scene is evolving!
As always, if you missed any of the older VoDs, check them out in the OP. Our last one in particular was very good, imo.
I've been watching these this week after a recommendation. Mostly enjoyed them, but episode 5 was a bit cringe for me. I'm sure others have mentioned it to you. SC2John I recognise you from team liquid, but i don't recognise the other guys you're doing this show with. Have you guys done other stuff? Or stream or anything?

Keep it up!
We got that response from a lot of people. From our perspective, we were just having a good time and joking around, but a lot of people took it as us being overly critical and derogatory, so we'll work on that if we ever do a game analysis again.
We're all the writers/editors here at Team Liquid. Vaalia is currently the coach for Resurgence and Icy-Veins writer, and xDaunt and Valiver are really high-level players. Oh yes!, and Shiroiusagi is the TL graphics queen...basically all the graphics you see on TL and its sister sites are courtesy of her. We understand that a lot of people might not be familiar with our faces, but that's why we're doing the show! In the next few months, we are looking to have a pro player or caster on as a guest each episode to talk with us. I'm glad you're enjoying the show overall, I think we might start streaming some QMs together on off weeks in the coming future, assuming we're not buried in work/school.
Thanks again for watching and giving us feedback ^^.

Understandable man. I don't know you guys well enough to tell if you're being jokey or bitchy I guess like, people think the same thing about tempoZoia when they watch him to start with.

In all fairness, it's possible to be both
John didn't mention me, but I am on the podcast largely just because I post obsessively to this forum.
Our latest episode has been uploaded! We had special guest JHow on the show with us to talk about all the regional qualifiers for NA and EU in the past few weeks. Hope you enjoy!
EDIT: As always, thoughts, comments, criticism, whatever are always greatly appreciated! :D
