Heroes Global Championship 2017

I am calling 4-2 Dig.

[Sezerek]

I dont really care who is going to be the winner, the fact that Place 1 and 2 in this tournament are European Teams is sufficient for me.
Slight favor towards Fnatic only so they can get a Tournament-win once.

42k+ viewers on the mainstream alone. Not exactly Dota numbers, but okay-ish I guess after the weekend was rather meh.

[RH92]

And Portal + Gorge cheese for Dignitas in 1, 2, 3...

EDIT: Okay, no Gorge picked. Still boring to watch Stitches cheese over and over by Dignitas.

[Sezerek]

It feels like Fnatic just lost this last draft soooo hard.

WOOOOOOOOW 15:0
Brutal
Savage
Rekt

[RH92]

Oh my god, finally! So happy for Fnatic.

[Ryme]

As a Dignitas fanboi I'm sad but a well deserved win there from Fnatic.

L5 and the two EU teams played on a really high level. Fun to watch and props to Blizz as well for supplying a game with overall good balance, an interesting meta and good tournament production.

[ro9ue]

HOTS is actually a really enjoyable game to watch. Great series.

[apepi]

Damn, that last match Fnatic just played perfectly. I can't believe Dig let them draft that comp. Every time Dig even got a hook, they were shut down.

Hook me baby one more time?

[Ryme]

One of these days I'll get round to updating the OP.

Haha, AlexTheProG dropping the F bomb immediately upon start of live interview and then answering question with: "Sometimes we have synergy and sometimes we just feed".

Ah, love the EU memes.

TL is back. That was impressive, even if they lose the series 0-3.

Okay, they won't.

[RH92]

It seems like the hatred of ten thousand years was too much to handle for Dignitas.

Can't wait for Fnatic vs Liquid and Dignitas.

You should apply as a caster. They said the same, but less eloquently

Well, they weren't prepared for the Betrayer for sure.

Which is kind of weird as Liquid were always thriving in meta where Illidan and Lunara (Thanks to Uther comeback) shines. Even their Warriors, they always liked to play Anub, Stitches and Diablo or Tyrael. They were also one of the first teams to introduce Tassadar double support compositions, I think they quickly identified counter meta for MSB meta.

Next week it will go on live patch, but Malthael still disabled, will be interesting how Thrall and Malfurion changes affect the meta. Korean streamers seem to love new Thrall and with Malfurion heavily nerfed in competitive and potential Lunara vs Uther match ups, we might see Kharazim or Rehgar come on top. Once Malthael is allowed, I am sure Uther will drop even more.

We did see Li Li played once...what was it, Friday? I can dream that she becomes meta right?

She has her place, but lack of targeted heals makes her less optimal. However she keeps Cleanse, so you never know.
