People say new Cho'gall is bad, just check the second game of SPT vs X-team in Chinese HGC. Tychus, Greymane and Kharazim on enemy team and still rolling, thanks to a Medivh and Auriel support though.
Super entertaining series!

That was pretty awesome. Also Team Freedom completely donned B-Step and Superstars.
God, I love Li Li more than anyone else...but GFE threw the draft by picking her. That might as well went Triple support. You don't go Li Li with a single Tyrael as a tank. You have no cc to speak of. How the hell are you going to control the fight?...I can't even say GFE got out drafted. We all knew what Team8 wanted to draft, Anub or Diablo for Justign, Glaurung Medivh, Buds on Malf/Khara/Reghar, Some range/mage character for Prism, and a bruiser for Yoda.
And lets not talk about their throwing late game, they had a punisher...but they get to greedy and end up giving it away. They never knew how to take advantage when they were in the lead and Team8 was great at fighting/stalling when they were behind.
Honestly I wanted Team8 to win vs GFE, GFE has been so off of it. They haven't really have been very good since their first debut and they have been horrible globally. And lets not even talk about GFE's build on Li Li....No Water Dragon? Why the fuck are you taking Li Li with no fucking Water Dragon? Get the fuck off Li Li and let me sub in to show you how to fucking play Li Li, I am sick of pros failing how to play Li Li and making her look bad. /salt
Time...line? Time isn't made out of lines. It is made out of circles. That is why clocks are round. ~ Caboose
Still to see the GFE series, but so happy for Dig, the closest thing to a British team - they crushed it

Is there any place where I can quickly browse through the games compositions? I can't be bothered watching all of the games, but if I could have an overview of comps, I could then watch the ones that are interesting to me.
That's perfect, thanks! Wow, Chromie and Morales seeing competitive play? Interesting...
The Crucible is here this weekend!
The Crucible is a BO7 format that takes the bottom two teams from the HGC and pits them against the top two teams from the Open Division in each region. The winner continues to phase two of the HGC format, this means a pro team could lose their spot in the HGC to an amateur team.
Here are the matchups, with quotes taken from these amazing articles which I'll steal verbatim as I know little of the open division teams:

North America
Saturday, May 27th at 12:00 p.m. PDT/9:00 p.m. CET: Imported Support vs Team Naventic
There's been a hell of a lot of drama over Naventic lately, with some saying there's a halfway decent chance they lose their spot in the HGC, definitely one to watch!

Bakery from Team Dignitas has said the open division in Europe looks to be the closest in skill level to the bottom teams of the HGC, which would make it the most likely region to have changes!
Saturday, May 27th at 9:00 am PDT/6:00 pm CET: Zealots vs Synergy

EU wise: I think TGG underestimated BEG tbh to play vs them.
I mean , there are 2 ways of looking at this if you are TGG. Either you wanna face the strongest of the bottom 2 and think if you can beat them you earned the spot more then honest - or you try to face the easier team and TGG thinks BEG is easier as an opponent, in which case they might underestimate them. BEG is looking stronger then Synergy last few games they showed.
NA wise: It's hard to predict - I havent followed the open division to be honest , but going up against Naventic - as bad as they've been playing lately - they are very seasoned veterans and this makes it a hard opponent (focus Kenma and maybe they can force a win).
Going up against No Tomorrow also isn't a joke or faceroll. But with TigerJK and Erho clashing so much and on the verge of imploding - there is a reasonable chance of NT getting tilted or ego clashing mid game.
I hope atleast 1 OD team wins from the HGC team and let some fresh blood take the stage next HGC season. And I just want NA to go full NA with roster swaps and drama.
Except for InsomniaQQ_ - thats sour =(
I don't expect Naventic to lose, but god do I want them to.

From the video Ryme linked:

LOLed pretty hard.
So apparently b-step have disbanded which means that Even in Death can take their spot in HGC if they want.
