I remember watching a tournament and a commentator messes something up and Twitch chat just starts flaming him into oblivion, which Twitch chat is known to do, and he says, “I’d like to see you kids do better.”
Blizzard is pumping in resources to providing high-level content such as the HGC Minute, educational videos with pro players and casters, and even put in an esports tab within the game itself. They know a healthy competitive scene is going to be a huge positive long-term.

From a team of brothers looking for glory, a team of underdogs who took down the crowd favorite to reach the semi-finals, a group of players who have played in every Dorm thus far and Canadians who are looking to show that the US isn’t the only country in NA with talent, there’s a lot on the line for all remaining participants.
With pride, Phan mentions that Overwatch League is home to an openly gay man on the Houston Outlaws and a woman on the Shanghai Dragons. Players like these are extremely popular to OWL fans and represent how inclusive and diverse esports can be without sacrificing competitive integrity and professionalism: "This is only the beginning" Phan says, "there is so much more work to be done."
In the first game of a series between GLuck and Tempest recently, the decision was made to draft a hero who does not see play not only in Korea but globally, Probius.

Now the fact that we’re admitting we’re a MOBA now is great. I think saying we’re a casual MOBA isn’t the right word. I don’t think it’s ever really been true per se if you’ve actually dove into playing at a competitive level. Shaking that stigma within the community has been a challenge.
The big thing we want to be careful with reworks is there’s a lot of people already playing that hero so we don’t want to wreck what’s fun about that hero or what people identify with. So it’s more thinking about that carefully and making the right changes. It’s not nearly as involved as making a new hero and it can also vary a lot from one hero to another on how much is actually needed.
With Method up 2-0 over Zealots in HGC week seven league play, the decision was made for Lawrence “Athero” Harper to break out a strategy seldom scene within the competitive community.&ldq

"I wondered, “Am I a good player?” Especially with loses. I thought in such a linear fashion that if you lose you’re bad and if you win you’re good and you can’t think like that as a pro player because you’re going to lose. It’s not always your fault and you could have played amazing and still have lost. It’s about recognizing you’re improving and that’s what I’ve put my focus on this year."
During the middle of the action at Western Clash in Katowice, Poland, Sam Braithwaite, the Esports Franchise Lead for Heroes of the Storm and Starcraft decided to sit down with myself to talk about th
