Warp Warfare allows Fenix to approach the game in a more impactful way and provide massive team-fight swings after securing a single kill. If you are looking for an unexpected strategy that can swing a game wide open from as early as level 7, this build is for you.
Today, animator and serious Blizzard fan Maditdrakes released an unofficial trailer for "Heroes of the Storm 3.0". The trailer pairs the unlikely duo of Li Li, the friendly and supportive Pandaren healer from World of Warcraft with Tychus, the all-business bringer of destruction of Starcraft origins.
Heroes of the Storm has changed over the years and Dunkey may be on to something by labeling it as one of the best games of 2020.
"So, perhaps taking a break from massive BlizzCon isn't the worst thing to happen. In fact, one can argue that the massive amounts of hype and expectation BlizzCon created every year is the same thing that started Blizzard's fall from grace in the first place"

Turns out Slasher has a lot to say when not constrained by 240 characters and our 3rd episode was filled with a variety of topics. From competitive Tetris money matches to Slasher calling us delusional (!) we had loads of fun talking to one of the most outspoken minds in esports about how rapidly things are changing within the industry and what we might expect in the future.
In many communities, the term esports have come to mean something decidedly negative. Esports is now synonymous with corporate take over, censorship, political correctness and the worst charge of all, a lack of authenticity.

The name “HasuObs” has been associated with three different competitive Blizzard Entertainment titles for over a decade. Yet, while Dennis Schneider, his real name, has been in the top one percent of players across Warcraft 3, Starcraft 2 and, now, Heroes of the Storm, he has never been to a BlizzCon before.

Another has to do with, as he admits, just not being able to get over the hump of the stiffest competition in Europe.
