News
- Starting November 24 until December 8, there is going to be a big two-week Black Friday sale for all regions. Every single item in the store will have a whopping 50% discount, making this the perfect time to buy that awesome Mecha Tassadar skin we all know you've been eyeing. If you aren’t all that interested in the skins and Heroes, there will also be a brand new 360 day Stim Pack available, and a new Second Chance Bundle, which includes skins and mounts no longer available in the game such as the Winter Veil Jaina skin and the Magic Carpet Mount.
- All this week, a new bundle including the Heroes used by Cloud9 in their last match of the Heroes World Championship has been available at a discounted price. The offer ends tomorrow (24th), so be quick!
- Yet another cross-game offer is available. By buying the Deluxe Edition of the next World of WarCraft expansion, Legion, you’ll unlock a terrifying Felstalker mount in Heroes of the Storm!
- Dignitas and Na`Vi announced a roster trade, which isn't too surprising considering their lineup in Fragbite Masters. It looks like Dignitas got an upgrade with the skills of JayPL and scHwimpi, so we're looking forward to seeing how the new team gels together!
Tournaments
- Fragbite Masters just ended this weekend. Teams such as TeamLiquid, Dignitas, Fnatic and more battled each other for a ≃ $8,700 prize pool. After everything was said and done, we saw the resurgence of one of the teams that dominated the scene a couple of months ago. You can read more about it in our official tournament recap.
- The Gold Series Heroes League Season 2 continued with Cloud9 struggling and the Chinesse team eStar dominating the early rounds. There’s still a lot of matches to be played before it goes into the playoffs. Will Cloud9, the World Champion, be able to advance?
- Enter the Storm North American Qualifiers continued. The most recent qualifier held a great amount of entertaining matches, especially when against all odds, 2ARC Gaming picked Cho’Gall against Stellar Lotus, marking the hero’s first professional appearance. You can watch the VOD of the match casted by Khaldor here.
TeamLiquid Spotlight
- There are a lot of things going on with the Heroes section of TeamLiquid at the moment. From a brand-new Twitter account, our usual tournament recaps and even a new podcast, Nexus Nights. The best thing? There’s more to come!
