I hadn't realized 3 teams per major region make it to Blizzcon I thought that was clash only.

So there's gonna be 12+ 1 per minor region there, or was it that minor regions get their own event?

Probably 16 teams total then.

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

With top 2 auto qualifying it means even less competition for Dig if they can't make that

 

[Rhaknar]

I swear playing Garrosh will give me a aneurism

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

wtf snitch going off the millisecond they got 10 with E R underneath the fort.

 

[Altairre]

Fucking running into stealthy double queues all day long. So unfun to play against.

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

lag force is naventic rebranded btw, get it lagf

 

[brian!]

i like their new logo

 

[Alur]

I fully expected them to troll and give no fucks moving forward, and of course that means they are up 1-0 on the newly sponsored team.

EDIT: Is it just me or did Dread lose a little weight?

 

[brian!]

maybe he's been eating less breadnaught

It's definitely more than a little, he mentioned having to go have his suits re-tailored.

 

[Alur]

Good for him, looks good.

Also, damn boys...that reddit thread with Trik's real name + the Chromie stuff. He best hope he never has an employer who isn't particularly savvy googling Tim Frazier the Heroes of the Storm caster in the future. Conclusions will be jumped to.

nah that's pretty innocent. Chromie is more dwarfism than loli anyways.

Altairre and Rhaknar, let's remember to never play qm again in the weekends and just go to unranked. kthxbye

stringer was awesome bummer he went down just when he got got.

 

[brian!]

I was feeling pretty ambivalent about the change, like yeah the joke is good but i didnt think much of it, and then bam sloth logo best team in hgc

stringer was awesome bummer he went down just when he got got.

Yeah, though i love that he dies after arguing with a developer in a building that he put tons of drug money into

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

nice bootcamp no tomorrow

I just wanted to taste his defeat longer but no he gets offed right when he learns he got scammed thinking he was smarter than everyone else.

 

[kirblar]

The new spiderweb graphic on the cocoon is great.

 

[Alur]

No Tomorrow best bootcamp NA

Role update (please oh please just name Healers "Healers") confirmed to be in the works.

.@Dmanneck team is working on something really cool that should be coming fairly soon. Hold on tight! 🐺🐺 #AskAlanDabiri #gamescom2017

Greymane skin in progress.

.@Hollycakes_ Yes! Team is working on some cool stuff right now that we cannot wait to share with you soon! #AskAlanDabiri #gamescom2017

Event for later in the year confirmed.

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

I wanted to say new map inc but the summer event wasn't accompanied by a new map after all.

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

Is Johanna the answer to double support?

 

[Prelude.]

I tried unranked for the first time, my team had a lv80 Diablo that queued up with a much higher level friend. Died alone all game, didn't take Devil's Due, went Breath, didn't participate in a single team fight and we didn't even get to 16. Good stuff.

 

[Milly79]

Explain why? I'm not seeing it.

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

Explain why? I'm not seeing it.

I don't know, all of a sudden she's in every other game and most often against double support.
My only explanation is that the lesser a comps kill potential the more Johanna can be in your face, the only way she can be good. Inner Fire damage adds up to a ton of damage the longer a fight goes.
Additionally her wave clear is still one of the best if not the absolute best for any solo tank meaning you don't need an off tank bruiser.

I think the wave clear is a big part of it because double support WC is low.

Go go dignitas

is it really with heroes like rehgar and tassadar in the mix?

 

[brian!]

dig has a crazy comp for rotations
locust swarm against medic?? tbh cocoon is still worth getting even if they have li ming

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

I love that cassia found a spot in the meta. Most balanced assassin they released in a long time.

Its too bad she only has one build/playstyle and is super boring (IMO)

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

Dont throw this dig

Fnatic are gods, as much as I like Dig that was impeccable play.

 

[brian!]

i think she's pretty fun but yeah she just plays one way

ayy lmao auriel, that was nuts
snitch must be kicking himself

 

[Maledict]

What an utterly fucking stupid win from Fnatic.

If this doesn't show that the double support meta needs removing from the game, *now*, nothing does. You should not be able to win like that under core fire with zero minion support. It's stupid.

 

[brian!]

it's nerfed on ptr, we'll see if it's enough tho
oh wait nm it's already live patch

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

Gonna be a real feel bad moment if Dig lose this series now.

But it's reassuring knowing dig still can go to town with them.

 

[Eyeh4wk]

Yep, without bursting light Auriel Fnatic wouldn't win this. But well played nonetheless. That was great to watch.

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

RIP the dream, better luck next time. So close to the 3-1.

 

[scoobs]

Holy shit Smx is an absolute beast. That was ridiculous

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

why does Fnatic have to be so good at pulling wins out their ass. In the MSB they had a game against dig too where they converted a double kill in an even or dig favoured game to a win around lvl 14.

Their killing instinct is so good. Hard not to be a fan but then again if there's no challenge there really is no fun.

 

[Alur]

RRRRRRRRRRRR strikes again

EDIT: you know the wagon is being banded when Fnatic have 1 million more cheers than Dig despite Dig being consistently one of the most popular teams since the start.

 

[Orochinagis]

Zagara with Quickcasting is amazing , her Q is not a chore to spam

Quickcasting is essential for all heroes to get the most out of them IMO, make the permanent switch

 

[Milly79]

I agree, but it's crazy when you see some of the pros/streamers that don't use it and they're still amazing.

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

Fan would be considerably better if he adopted quickcast properly imo.

at least half the times he fucks up on stream it's because he was a couple frames off.

 

[Rhaknar]

Random Alur popping up for mine and Prelude's first go at Cho'Gall

Cho'Gall is silly. Very fun, but very silly.

 

[Alur]

ggs Rhak, daniel, and Prelude.

You missed my MVP Laghaka game. 170 MS and still went 9 for 13 on the tongues. feelsscoobsman
