HotS Not so dead game

So the NGS season 13 is starting, and there are 137 teams registered

(I hope we don’t get matched against team happy cloud, they look so friendly, I’d want them to win :slight_smile: )

That’s a lot of people grouping up to play the game in an organized way. Most teams have more than 5 players. Way more than I expected.

(Though I just realized, the “Fountain Snipers” team must be really sad right now.)

Roll1Esports made me laugh more than it should have. I am such a nerd.

Game’s never been dead. The only people who abandoned it were Blizzard themselves.

Uh why did this topic get closed and then opened again ? Did the mod have a chance of heart when he actually saw the content of the topic.

Also its nice to know so many teams have sighed up for the tournement. Time to find a team to root on.

I’m willing to bet it was a misclick.

That or the mod auto-pilot locked a “gaem ded” thread before actually reading it.

Probably because it contained the words HotS and dead.

I guess not even one of them is a decent player, as it’s always been in hots’ competitive history.

What, in your opinion, is HotS competitive history?

Are the games MMR completely seeded from Heroesprofile’s SL section?
If not, how do they implement the MMR showcased in their site? More so, How are they fluctuating when playing in these series?

There’s this caster that makes me shut the NGS twitch every time I hear her. It’s unbearable.

It’s “I’m gonna say the D word” rule now.

Yes. One of the requirements for participation is to have the HP Uploader installed. They verify prior season’s stats from verified screen caps in game showing highest rank attained.

Do they get modified independently from SL? If not, how are teams able to climb up in division?
Is is possible for a team to be 3100 MMR, but Division D because they’re trolling too much?

I can resume the period since beta till today like this: clowns being paid.

I have no idea about that. I do know they require us to upload screenshots from past seasons. The NGS Discord is open to everyone, so I recommend asking there?

Every single famous player in this and every game is only a student. The teachers do not play ranked.

I guess that auto-bot only works with thread titles as I think there must be at least 100k of individual posts with those particular words.

This game doesn’t deserve death. I’m so happy people are hoping on a competitive team with a roster.

This game is SO unique and fun and honestly refreshing.

So nice to see this! Made my day! Thank you!

Its extra special for players who play other Blizzard games. Its one of a kind in that aspect. In my opinion, one of the best constructed moba games. It just fell from its glory because it was introduced late which caused it to have low player numbers after a while, and it got pretty much abandoned by the developers.
