Why couldn't Malthael be a Warrior or even a Specialist? You do know that his original design turned into Leoric, right?
We should be seeing 14-5 heroes this year and they've said the plan is for 4-5 of them to be healers.
Because he's the angel of death. To my mind, he can't really be a warrior or a specialist. I'm not that inclined to think up of skillsets so I'm probably mistaken. To me, the kit Leoric has fit much better than if it was on Malthael.

Didn't realize they lowered the required brawl games to complete.
Also forgot just how insane repulsion is on Li Ming. The range is incredible, was sniping people behind their keep.

He's a builder. Their chief engineer in LotV. When you command him during the campaign, he has abilities like placing cannons (that he needs to stay in range of in order to function) and taking control of certain enemy units/structures. In co-op his defining traits are boosting structures to produce units faster, and a passive auto repair on all mechanical units. I'm really curious what his kit will look like in HotS.

Quackniix, Fnatic Team Dignitas should extend their boot camp instead of going to Katowice so they dont end up in the Crucible.

I was just about to say, glad to see. Took long enough.
Whilst it didn't have any huge moments by either team, and Dig clearly dominated apart from their overstay in the top lane once, Team 8 lasted longer than I thought and played quite a controlled game overall. They weren't crushed, and I could easily see them winning if they shake it up a bit more.
I worry if they put Glar on Zeratul though.

Glau is gonna get destroyed on Zera I'd wager.
Edit: That's why I don't gamble in real life.

Nailed it.
Glaurung with a Zera game and this time he dominates. This year is opposite year.
They were legit hanging in there in that first game, and that second game went very well.
Dreadnaught is talking about how Dunk coaching Dig should have Dunk telling them to respect Glau's Zera, but IIRC Dunk hasn't ever been big on Glau's Zera just like Dread himself hasn't. It's funny to hear Dread praising it now after hearing so many bash it before, including him.

Agreed, it was a nerf to get people to play other supports when there weren't many viable ones and now that there are it should absolutely be reverted. Rehgar is totally fine and there are better options honestly
I like this Bakery guy, he's actually a great interview
I still hate that nerf. Never made sense then based on how they had molded him (to be more aggressive).
Dig wins as expected, but not a bad showing from Team 8.
Isn't the announcement supposed to be after this series? But it's like two hours early.
Edit: Looks like the announcement will be after all 4 series and not in the middle. I thought it was going in the middle.

Glau's zeratul in game 2 was the best I've seen from him, and totally dominated the game. Well played indeed. Then in game 3 Dig changed tactics, dared him to pick it, and then utterly stomped him. Seems like they realised the need to switch to aggro mode and pressurised him so much nothing happened. P
Is there like an estimated time of when that is? I'm gonna go try and get a switch at target
Reddit says the time for the announcement is 18:20 CET, and it's 16:46 CET now. If it's planned to be after the 4 series that time can change a fair bit, but that's the aprox time anyway.
Did you just walk in there and grab one or you had a preorder ?
yea just walk up and buy it. ez. had a gift card too.
GFE literally just standing around while Fanatic wins the game
Walking home but so can't watch but is that what GfE drafted? They smashed Tempo with that comp and the rarely picked level 1 talent on hammer that gives her 50% armour when stunned in seige mode.
It's a neat comp that needs a specific answer, and if you don't draft it it's really hard to beat.
I still feel Fnatic are the best team fighting team in the west. Misfits are better at map control and preparing versus other teams, but fanatics team fighting skills are unmatched. If anyone is going to beat that sort of cheese comp it will be them.
And that boss fight was just ludicrous. It really shows the difference between the teams skill level.
