ESV Championship Series Season 1
“The league will pit 8 teams into two 4 team groups. Each group will play every member of their group a total of four times throughout the season. The top two teams in both divisions will play in an exciting playoff finals!
ALPHA IN PROGRESS - Heroes of the Storm is in a Alpha state at the moment. With that in mind, we will be labeling both the game and broadcasts as Alpha In Progress. Expect baffling tech issues, weird bugs, and other fun things. It is an alpha so it will improve over time!”

How to deal with Sargent Hammer
Had a big problem this week with teammates diving too deep for the “easy” kill.
Crit-ing PSA
There is no passive chance to crit in game. Certain abilities allow for extra damage on auto attacks, this is signified as a crit, but any extra damage will cause the animation.

Hi Guardians of the Nexus!
After listening to the episode #15 I wanted to ask, will the system implemented in Smite work in Heroes?
In Smite, there is team only chat, and (the most important) VGS system. The VGS is a way to quickly dial the prefab messages to inform your teammates. Like dialing VVVR = "Ultimate is Ready!" or VSG2="I Will Gank Mid". There is a lot of prefab messages with up to 4 buttons required. I think the system is the closest to the perfect quick messaging in games I have ever seen.
What is your thoughts on Blizzard implementing something similar, or what do you think will be better for this game.
I have not yet got into alpha, and your show lets me be up to date with what is happening in Heroes.
Thanks for your awesome job,
Take Care!
P.S. MyInsanity is an Australian SC2 team, and I have seen them in Total Biscuit's MLG Clan Wars.
P.P.S. You can probably consult Jocelyn about this as she plays lots of Smite lately.

Dearest podcasters,
I would like to see more in the end game stats screen.
Total damage
Total Heals
Objectives
etc.
Maybe they can highlight the Core stats they would like us to achieve so that they can push the game they want it to go.
When I am playing other MOBAs I look over what i did good and bad. It helps me as a player improve my game.
Thanks for the listen.
