Player Roster: Aleksey "White-Ra" Krupnik - Captain Dmitriy "Dimaga" Filipchuk Svyatoslav "HappyZerG" Vlasyuk Anton "montaNa" Alex Alexander "Tork" Motrunich
Team motto: Never fall down.
"Heroes of the Storm, a fun and addictive game that, in my opinion, is the future. Since the game is new, it is advisable to create your own team and start training. Whilst we just enjoy the game, but before all the guys put serious challenges for the future, gaming experience and competent approach to the organization of the training process should yield good results. So I'll see you soon. "- Tt.White-Ra (he say it on Igromir/ComicCon 2014 Moscow)
"We have assembled a team of friends and good people, so I think that we will succeed." - cSc.DIMAGA
"My name is Svyatoslav Vlasyuk will be a lot of fun to play a new game in a steep-up!"- HappyZerg
Meh. What a waste. These guys should stick around for LoTV. They are experts in RTS not MOBA. It's a very different thing (see MarineKing). Their fans are RTS guys too. Anyway, Hero's seems like a me-too MOBA now that DoTA 2 and LoL have that market tied up. What a waste.

Maybe they find it more fun then SC2? Can't really be a waste if they enjoy HotS more

Professional gaming isn't about fun. Anything becomes tedious when you have to do it for work.
Will be interesting to see what happens with Heroes going forwards though, these kind of announcements will definitely help it gain some traction as a potential competitive game.

LoL and DoTA 2 may have that market tied up, but that market isn't tied down to any one brand.
Once Blizzards HotS moba releases they will garner a lot of the market. Just on their name alone they will take 25% of the market.
White-ra and Dimaga see it already, and probably because they have played a lot of HotS alpha.
And its not uncommon for traditional pro athletes retire in one sport, only to start another as an amateur (i.e. Michael Jordan). These two know they can't compete with the best Koreans, and even the up and comers from Europe can give them a run for their money.
But I do agree I hoped they would have stuck around for LoTV before they retire/switch platform.
I still think these two are going in the right direction. I can't wait to see their team play competitively. White-ra's brain is probably conceiving some "speshul taktiks" for Heroes of the Storm.
Sad to see WhiteRa and DIMAGA not be active in SC2 anymore but as long as they found a game they enjoy and will continue to be involved in esports I'm okay with that.
