That's fair. I only like Fnatic cause I liked Fnatic's Dota2 team when I tried to watch Dota2 like 4+ years ago.

League and as mentioned DOTA have great setups
HOTS is relatively young by comparison but I don't see much improvement from the HOTS casters in this regard over the last year

Couldn't have said it better.
A proper Play-by-play / Analyst setup helps solve this naturally though, because the analyst doesn't always feel like he/she has to be talking. And there is no "taking turns" or putting someone on the spot to say something. Things just get said when things need to be said.
ODPixel + GoDz in DOTA2 is the best casting duo in esports to me. DOTA has a lot of great caster pairings honestly

Some caster know how to draw the moment, particularly CS:GO casters (thinking Pansy here...).

That's why I was rooting for Tempest, because of Duckdeok
Isn't that a nice redemption story in itself after getting cheesed by C9 last year they claim the title.

See Ballistix can pull off the VP Arcane Orb combo. These fights are so messy.
Oh and NVT owner got into a twitter fight again, this time with akaface Zuna joined in.

Imported Support was leading 2:0 before NVT was forced to forfeit due to Zuna in the Nexus Games.

Tracer Tass was what I wanted to see Dignitas run.
That was ludicrous.

Ballistix was a bit greedy there not letting the boss leash.
Messy game. Ballistix going a bit too hard into a 4v5 thinking they can win it instead of waiting for the Zera respawn.

That was a great game, new maps (by date of inclusion, not really just by the quality of the maps themselves) really encourage far more aggressive and crazy plans as you can see that the teams are not fully tuned in with all the rotations and options. There's no way that ETC would get hit with the banelings if it were an older map.

stitches..god damn it.. here we go..
Someone needs to make a gif of that holy crap. I was cackling like mad, such insanity!

Fnatic's comp makes NO sense. they are losing this.

Should have gone Raynor over Hammer if they wanted an ADC against the obvious incoming tracer.
2017 and they still try womboing Muradin.

Took me till now to realise they banned Tyrael to stop Fnatic's sanct cap cheese.
Can't wait for the EU league, looking mighty promising. Athero has a lot of catching up to do with the rest of his team if they stick together post Blizzcon.

Because they need that malf/stitches/hammer combo bro. Clearly.
How fucking sad of a last game is that.

the stitches pick really fucked them hard.
they picked stitches against a team with 5 heroes that are amazing at escapes.

To be fair, dread has got to be like one of the most winningest hots players.
Not after a full year out of the game. Unless you count those little $100 tournaments, but even still players like Fan and Zuna and Caff and co have been on multiple tournament winning teams since then and that's just here in murica.
Was thinking the same. Streamers all at Blizzcon. Feels bad man.

Seems like you should probably stream.
I feel the same way. I had a bunch of drinks and the last few matches flew by and I'm sitting here wondering what to do.

For all the faults of the tournament 2016 was several notches above 2015.
Also Athero mentioned scrimming tracer tass was hard and the deam generally didn't want it. I don't get it, it was not only a great comp multiple times but also did Dignitas destroy teams with it.

Midnight here and didn't sleep much last night, so bed for me! Gonna catch up on the panels tomorrow since I missed almost all of them watching the entire heroes tournament. The state of the game one was good though, lots and lots of great changes coming soon! So so happy they're supporting the heck out of the game, especially given the lackluster Diablo support lately.
I may be a little biased, but I think HotS was the winner of Blizzcon 2016.
I think HotS and WoW both had really good stuff shown. Excited about the future of this game with the expanded HGC next year and all the other stuff coming.

I haven't played WoW in a couple of years, but to be fair, Legion and the announcements for WoW at Blizzcon do sound pretty great. Fair point.
I'd say so for sure. Even the support for Overwatch isn't quite as much as I'd expect. The league stuff is neat, but I really don't like watching that game whatsoever. Hearthstone expansion is a giant question mark after what was in Kharazan. I don't play WoW to know anything about that though.
Everything about HotS was killer! Better ranked system, two awesome looking heroes, haunted mines coming soon, that promo for the free heroes/mount (though I already own all the heroes), Artanis Q+E going live and other changes, the new brawl, etc. So good.
