Tempo Storm has proven that they are one of the top teams by getting 1st during Phase 1 of the NA Pro League. However, they fell short during the Western Clash – Phase 1 and HGC Mid-Season Brawl by placing in 3rd and 4th, respectively. They definitely have the potential to win: with the addition of ViN in the lineup, maybe they can turn that aro

The HGC Western Clash pins the top four HotS teams from North America and Europe in a bracketed tournament (more on that shortly). The winner of the tournament will win the Western Clash trophy, the $30,000 cash prize, and an additional spot at the HGC Finals, which will be held between October 25th – November 4th of this y

A smaller roster, like one found in _ Heroes of the Storm _ , makes it much easier to remember what your opponent can do, making it much better experience for new players. Not only that, but each hero is taken from previous Blizzard titles like _ Overwatch _ or _ World of Warcraft _ , giving each character a powerful, built-in backstory for a new player to identify w

A favorite to win this year’s Phase 2 Western Clash, HeroesHearth Esports has been dominant this season as one of two undefeated teams. Additionally, they have only lost three of the 21 games they’ve played so far. The team has really made a name for themselves, even though they were drafted from the Open Division just last y

“This was a project full of firsts for me. It’s been incredibly frustrating and educational trying to finally accomplish this cosplay. This was my first time making armor with Worbla, and I only have one burn scar… so far! In fact, this was my first time using automotive primer, Bondo, silicone molds, resin casts, and a whole lot of other stuff. I’m a kinetic learner, so the only way I really get a handle on stuff is by getting my hands on it and going for it. I messed up a lot, but I learned a lot. You really just have to take every little thing in stride. I had been pushing to try and get this cosplay ready for a specific convention, and nearly drove myself mad trying to do it. Instead, I’ve learned now to just sit back and enjoy the experience. It’ll be done when it’s done, and I’ll be proud of the finished produ

Team Freedom had just beaten out Team Octalysis for the 3rd seed spot and giving themselves a slight advantage; by that, I mean they won’t have to go against Team Dignitas in the first round. They have had an okay season thus far with a 5-2 record and qualifying for the Western Clash – Phase 1 earlier this year. Team Freedom will be facing the EU 2nd seed, Team Liquid. Although they’ve done well throughout the season with a 6-1 record, they have yet to really make any significant moves so

This short guide of 15 steps to becoming a better LoL player aims to help those looking for a fresh start, as well as those with an already established love for the Moba game items. While everyone does learn differently, with several different techniques, the steps below should hopefully be straightforward and easy to

They will be facing EU’s Leftovers, a team that has been struggling throughout the 2018 season. The team has added a new tank player to the roster with Mopsio, but it is still unclear whether he will be a differentiating factor for the t

Last hitting is exactly what it says on the tin, when you hit a minion and it dies, giving you gold and experience. CS means Creep Score, or minion kills and is often referred to as such, and will carry your champion through the earlier parts of the game, mostly applying to players in the lanes rather than Junglers. Again the best place to practice this is in practice mode to start off with, seeing how many normal attacks, spells only or other attacks it takes to kill a minion or what can kill a minion on what percentage of hea

Eventually, players and developers alike realized this last hit business was stupid and changed things so that simply being present when a minion expires nets you that sweet, sweet XP. However, in _ League _ an artifact of the last hit era remained in gold farming. If you’re not the last thing hitting a minion,you get no gold, and that’s d

Tempo Storm will be facing Method, who struggled during the Mid-Season Brawl and Western Clash – Phase 1. However, they definitely have the ability to perform, as they placed 3rd at the this year’s EU Pro League. Things look favorable for Tempo Storm in the first round, but it’s not out of the realm of possibility for Method to show up and get the upper bracket

Wards are what give you and your team vision over the map, revealing parts of the map that are hidden by the fog of war. There are a few types of wards along with totems but the best way to find the ward for you and the situation is to play while using them. Stealth wards give you three separate wards that fade over time, while visions wards are single use but last until destro

“Because of all the reasons I listed in the above question, this one has been expensive, I’m not going to lie. It’s amazing how much more efficient you are after you’ve worked with a material for a bit. I would say I’ve easily spent twice as much money on this project and maybe quadruple the amount of time as anything I’ve done before. In the end, I think it’s really taken on a life of its own, and even if no one else can appreciate it, I will have learned so much from it that it will all be worth
