I've found the secret to enjoying this game once again, playing nothing but Abathur in QM outside of my dailies. Win or lose Abathur is one of the few heroes I feel like I can have individual success with. I know it's not fun for some of the teams I get matched into because of hero comp but hey, that's QM for you.
This is the most common build I've been using:
Envenomed Nest
Prolific Dispersal
Vile Nest
Whichever ult seems appropriate for the match, I favour Monstrosity.
Bombard Strain
Locust Brood
Locust Nest
The global nest talent can make moving around the map faster and easier but I love having giant mine traps. Especially once the map opens up late-game and you're using Locust Nest to apply pressure in more than one lane and trick people into your mine traps as they hunt for you.

Seems like bakery raised a bit of a stink with admitting to playing bad in scrims.
Ouch, TNL got stomped. Korea is gonna be interesting!

Sounds like Bakery is channeling his inner Dunktrain post Blizzcon with the mind games. I think it's kinda funny and don't blame them if true but I don't necessarily believe it. If it's worth it to a team to not have good scrims just to "throw teams off" or whatever, more power to em. Seems as like to backfire as anything...and honestly when Dunk has said similar in the past I always viewed it as revisionist history more than anything to justify how bad they were leading into the tournament.
But bro, why you gotta spoil the punchline!?
DUN-DUN DUNNNNN, DUN-DUN DUNNNNNNNNNNN
sorry can't hear you over the intro music
Seems like the consensus is PTR on Tuesday or release on Tuesday. Either way, we'll see him.
it's really fun to watch mcintyre's falstad
they're playing a lot better right now compared to friday
mac casting his e into the enemy team by accident and then gusting them away in reaction reminds me of cartoons lol or a jackie chan movie
hard to tell what's going on with nvt, and what combo of whether it's the map (what I think it is), role swap, or some time to reassess since Friday, but I hope they keep the role swap just because if heroes ever grows it'd be cool to be like remember that time a team swapped roles in the middle of a tournament, and then another person is all "dad? what are roles??" "son it was a darker time"
kenma still bad positioning tho but he picked a hero where it's ok to die so ¯\_(ツ

didnt they lose to them once at regionals
oh nm that didn't happen
i didnt watch the kob games, but ppl were loving tomster in that tourney
in game 2 they outplayed nvt and capitalized on their mistakes pretty well, nvt still looked better than they did 2 days ago in that game but gust seemed more on top of shit that game in general + erho was a nonfactor on sonya that game

any in the world outside Korea.
Erho's positioning was great in that fight at bot temple right now, Gust dodged the skillshots decently but their team seemed to slow to move.
Not a dominating performance by Naventic against a mediocre team.
Apparently they scrimmed Fnatic almost exclusively pre katowice

Haha, that's kind my thought on the whole "we played bad on purpose/drafted bad on purpose" shit that Dunktrain (and now apparently Bakery) always pull out. It's just a convenient way to make yourselves look like masterminds after the fact.
If NVT really do continue to slide the fallout should be epic whenever it finally happens.
They will.
The consensus was MVP Black were the best Korean team and possibly best in the world even then, they just lost one series after dominating the whole year...not unlike Tempo Storm at the Americas championships just MVP Black didn't have all the drama as the cause for their choke.
And really any team can get lucky (or unlucky) in just one series if things go their way. I mean, we saw that last year with Cloud 9 at Blizzcon right? huehue mcinW
EDIT: Besides didn't you say C9 was ded after dropping Fan for Arthelol?
made this for you bb:
FTFY. Glaurung still trying to force his pocket picks and costing his team. =/
He is very good, but I'd take Fan 99 times out of 100 because he can play more heroes at a high level. Arth is pretty limited. Very good at what he plays, but the pool is small. Luckily for him the pool of heroes actually drafted is small enough to accommodate.
Doesn't look like Navi Jr are even going to win a series in Korea beyond the scrub SE Asia/Latin America teams at this rate.
The only thing I'm looking forward to more than C9 potentially winning a big series and Dunktrain or Caff claiming they houdini'd the opponent is the potential for Naventic salt if they keep throwing and making poor decisions. popcorn.gif

I wish Udall was on a good team. His streams are pretty fun and I think he's a good player.
I wanted Mc to succeed but I've cooled on that. I would like to see Zuna win a world championship just for all the Zuna trolls.
I think if you're wanting BM and bravado to save blizz esports that team is C9. Just no one ever seems to notice or call them out when they do theirs lol

i feel like there is a sub-kenmafeeds meme where ppl will praise the team but leave kenma out every time like it's a known thing that he's not very good
they have no way to stop zera
yeah they totally have their number, dunno why they put in raynor (only ranged left for mac? they dont like zagara anymore?) and blaze takes falstad too

Why would you go Rehgar over Kharazim at this point? The healing isn't really any better, can't ult yourself, the damage is worse, etc etc...
And the Poison Nova value is nonexistent here.
I also don't get Stitches. He has gotten zero value with hook and he's fodder for ETC. I didn't watch the draft order doe.
