Also the stuff about Yuuj and finger pointing, that seems like something a good coach solves, since players doing post-game criticism is pretty biased and all that. But most teams don't seem to have coaches and just player captains huh? Edit: Looks PG does have a coach, well then something's up if the players are blaming each other like that then. | ||

Glad to see Sniper and Crazymoving back with MVP Miracle, wonder who supports on that team. With Cattle back to BP, and Cathon Luck out they seem a lot stronger. Moba's are an interesting genre, given how many heroes there are, with so many abilities it really requires a lot of just general knowlage of the game. I think that's why HOTS never took off. Because once you find one MOBA, you really don't care to ever switch to another. Not anything due to game play, or difficulty, just the general knowledge of what every hero is capable of. I thought about trying LoL in the past, or Dota 2. But end the end, never did because i don't feel like grinding through enough games just to gain that kind of knowledge. Also the fact that games last 1 hour as opposed to 20 mins, means that it takes a lot more time to get the game repetition you get in Hots. Finally I don't think Overwatch will really make it as an eSport. FPS games make for poor spectator sports as you're only getting a fraction of the action at once. Quake 1v1's were probably the best fps in terms of spectating. | ||

I just need to point out that csgo is even on major cable TV now. | ||

First FPS are quite popular, second something like this: And LoL was really really dominant in Korea. For all we know, Overwatch did really well on release, maybe too well for such game and I thought that it won't as big because of the price but it actually is quite big. There are few games announced already that are trying to copy it. And this is Blizzard we are talking about, they always try to support their game and push it into eSports as much as they can. | ||

Our Thoughts on Fury's Departure from Gale Force eSports We would like to address the fans of Gale Force eSports as well as the Heroes community as a whole; I am sure a lot of you are a little confused as to why we let Fury go. Let us start off by saying that his performance in game has nothing to do with why he was removed. Nor was this the case of coming back from Worlds and wanting to changing the roster just for the sake of changing the roster. Fury has played well and has been such a huge part of why we qualified and how special this team has been. For this we are ever so grateful to have had the time to spend with Fury and watch him grow as a player and as a teammate. The decision to remove him was not made lightly. That being said, as we are sure anyone reading this heard, we removed Fury “because of his girlfriend”. She has always been very kind and nice and she herself never tried to wedge herself between the team and Fury. This is not about her, it’s about Fury. When we put this team together some players were skeptical to play with Fury because of previous stints on teams where he had personal outside issues. He reportedly let that spill into his performance in game and it affected his desire and ability to play and be productive with his team. We spoke to him more than once about his commitment level and he assured us this would not be an issue and that he was going to show everyone how much he cared about this game. We put our reservations aside and told the team that everyone deserves a chance to be in a different environment and see how things go. Many people know that most of the players on our team are in relationships. We are not against our players being in relationships, and this was not a personal attack on his. Our team’s attitude is to show the same amount of dedication to the game as one would do for their job or career. Unfortunately, a number of players felt like Fury was letting his relationship interfere with his work. This created tension at times and occasionally influenced the team atmosphere in a negative way, which was not something we could overlook because of our belief in team chemistry being of utmost importance. One example of this would be when he stayed in Texas for an extra 10 days after Dreamhack Austin to spend time with his sister and his girlfriend. We asked if he could still scrim with the team and he said yes. He had a laptop capable of running HotS with him. Despite all that, he missed out on a full 10 days of scrims with the team, which is simply unacceptable. Regardless, this decision was tough for everyone involved. Fury is very kind and has a good heart. We are confident he won’t have any trouble finding another team and we truly wish him the best. Also Naventic and McIntyre Part Ways | ||

Unfortunate that Fury's dirty laundry got aired it like this, although he started down that road. Not sure what I think about McIntyre's situation. Sounds like he knew they were considering changes for a while. Not sure if that's a good or bad thing, on one hand honesty and not being blindsided by the org, on the other hand... Is it really something you can back down from after broaching the subject? (Ie isn't his release basically a done deal after that?). Of course the post was s little vague so maybe I'm misinterpreting the situation. | ||

Yeah it's hard to say if he knew a release was inevitable, or if they are just talking about the challenge when he was moved to other roles like warrior and support on the fly so Zuna could play DPS. | ||
