Heroes Global Championship 2017

Tbh I feel like Team Freedom put up more of a fight than Team Expert did vs MVP Black.

I feel like I am watching quickmatch, shit draft, no focus, no teamwork, no callouts or great use of ults, split all over the place, dosent clear lane before teleporting.

[Adramelch]

Let´s not kid ourselves, Team Freedom also got bodied.

Edit: I guess not THAT bodied.

[Ryme]

That just felt like a waste of time.

I promise I'm not still bitter about the quarters.

I promise I'm not still bitter about the quarters.

I am totally not bitter about it being just Bo3... No....

[Sezerek]

That Fnatic vs Ballistix first game, HOLY SHIT

[Ryme]

Fnatic are just sublime to watch.

[Sezerek]

Fnatic are just sublime to watch.

Only thing I'm kinda concerned about is the fact that breez is the last few series kinda out of sync with the rest. Always half a second or more to late to most crucial plays.

[Ryme]

I'm less bitter about Dig going out now, they have nothing on Fnatic this year.

[Adramelch]

That core call, knowing VP is available, just shows you how much confidence Fnatic have at the moment.

[Arrowstormen]

Man, the 0-2 gloom is real.

[Sezerek]

That last Push, just incredible...I had a dejavu to another BoE match when Fnatic was against Dig and did nearly the same push.

[apepi]

Tbh I fell asleep during the Fnatic/Ballix matches.

[Adramelch]

First two maps were pretty strong though. Last one was a complete shutout obviously but first one was neck and neck the whole game and the second one had a lot of close fights and a lot of great Fnatic rotations.

[Ryme]

Grand finals time boys!

[Sezerek]

Dream Final lets go!

[Ryme]

.... that draft... What? I'm scared.

[Arrowstormen]

That was a pretty cool game.

[Ryme]

Yeah man, this is gonna be a series!

[apepi]

Korean team not paying attention to another regions strategy and losing because of it? Color me surprised.

Production quality and commentators are really good, analyst panel is great - but the majority of series are one-sided, boring, bad. (I missed the first quarterfinal, the first semifinal and the final match R20 vs L5). First I was willing to attribute it to the double support meta, which seems less random than the stun and burst stuff we've seen in the past, but no longer sure about it. What seems to contribute are short game length, 8 -12 minute games had a certain novelty factor but are rarely gripping, the decision to use BO3 even in the quarterfinals, and low draft variety: we may see all supports minus tyrande, but no specs save Medivh and Aba, and always the same few tanks and assassins.

Overall meh tournament.
