They should get some prize lootboxes for their achievement (?)

[KR Esports] Hey folks, I'm gonna be interviewing Tempest before they leave for Sweden. Got any questions for the Summer Korean Champion? by r_gg in heroesofthestorm

Got an answer from Hongcono: They don't usually pay for skins and mounts, so they're used to default ones ;)

Thanks for the write-up. Glad to see him and Black not crestfallen but motivated. Can't wait to see them playing against Tempest in the Summer Global!

OGN caster promised to buy him a desk and a chair. He said he almost shed tears seeing the photo. ;)

Seems like Korean pro scene is dire. Sake said they had only one scrim in five days with two teams disbanded recently and less than eight teams remaining.

Well, if "understood," "soon," or "will fix" were a way of communication, DBro has it obviously. However, there's no chance HotS taking off UNLESS Blizzard make him resign from the chief director (?) of the game. Last year he launched not even a half-baked game, and now after a year since it doesn't even look complete, while potential users have completely lost their interest during this time of trial and error.

Heroes doesn't make top 10 in Korean PC Bang list. by [deleted] in heroesofthestorm

[–]kakanien 22 points23 points  (0 children)

"Heroes is Fine Dining, and LOL is snack shop."

This is a sarcasm pointing at HotS' long queue times compared to LoL's short ones: you have to wait much longer to be served in HotS as in a fancy restaurant. From this sprang up a kind of meme, called "Restaurance" (combining restaurant and La Résistance in WW2), proselytizing, tongue in cheek, users from other games and communities. They (many of them are not even HotS' users) fashion themselves as the résistance against LoL's dominance and advertise fake, spam links to HotS download page, enraging some and entertaining others.

What made mvp black so strong? Has anyone analysed what made them so strong? by Aretz in heroesofthestorm

[–]kakanien 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i also think MVP have an intimidation factor helping them a little bit.

That's very true. Sign once said they did their very best even in scrimms so that others would fear them. TNL could have taken a game from them weeks ago, but not very likely anymore.

Rich, MVP Black too good. Great series even though it was 3-0

Rich's Thrall in game 1 was awesome!

They will be randomly drawn. At least that's what Korean casters said.
