A great event, was great to see it live on twitch thx for it(:

[@dynamixx150]

That was awesomely epix! When is the next Nations cup?

[@christopherbarnette8350]

Big shoutout to Tim the Tricky Trkslyr, who I thought did a hell of a job with the color commentary.

[@FranoSailer]

great time! I normally don't watch e-sports, but this was great.

[@Tanooki88]

The whole Lili gag on Dragonshire had me in stitches 😅🤣 Phenomenal commentary guys! Was great to watch :D

[@TrikSlyr]

Thanks for the invite Kevin and Khaldor. I had the time of my life I t's always nice to know that in a corner of the internet, HOTS is still the best esport.

[@Khaldor]

Always good to cast with you! 😁

[@Nick_Sin]

Thank you very much guys! You are legends!!!!!

[@KevinValdes]

It was so fun hanging out with you two

[@lucaromani6789]

Love you TrikSlyr, thank you for your amazing energy and good vibes!

[@dunngyllite7883]

Don't want to spoil anything here, so all I say is : that was a crazy grand final ;) The whole tournament was a blast - a big THANK YOU to Khaldor and Kevin, to everyone else involved, and a special shoutout to Triks and Baha, who both did a great job as well. Kudos guys, you totally delivered !

[@goatmeal5241]

Game #4 was extremely impressive. The focus to maintain that wonky strategy for so long...

[@PhilipAlexanderHassialis]

You have such an enthusiasm, a dedicated crowd and community. And Blizzard decided to throw the game off the cliff. How many wrong decisions can this company make?

[@jannisbard3706]

so true :.)

[@Tanooki88]

It was seriously their best esports game and most fun to watch! I mean SC2 is nice, but that’s just not as big over here. Blizz really did drop the ball on that..

[@richardj1319]

Hope they come to their senses but chances are slim :( such a shame for such a great team game.

[@abeld5497]

they dropped it for diablo 4 money hungry corporate

[@RalfBlume462]

All

[@alexthegrey3664]

What an amazing series and fantastic end to a fantastic tournament. Thank you Khaldor and the event team for putting this together

[@Craftlngo]

this series was better than every tournament the HGC has ever achieved!

[@Khaldor]

Haha thanks :D

[@Nick_Sin]

Totally agree

[@LogicalMayhem00]

This is the best online competitive game I've ever seen, literally can't stop smiling so excited for when Microsoft adds all the updates to Heroes.

[@dumbledor123]

Plz for the love of God Microsoft

[@WHATTHEH4CKZ]

The whole Nations Cup was such an awesome series but the finals were especially entertaining to watch - insane production value and outstanding performances by the players. Thanks to everyone involved, super grateful to still see such an impressive level of play in HotS in 2023. Sincerely hoping for another event like this in the foreseeable future!

[@aventureirose-sports2525]

I agree!

[@GamingSpoiler]

I love how after game #5 Everyone was like: Time to activate QM Mode: Total Mayhem

[@balabatan]

i already have very high expectation from this grand final but when i see murky on thumbnail, i get higher expectation.

[@UpstarterinoKripperino]

:(

[@LionLadTV]

Was so happy to be here

[@keennickolas8575]

xD I wanted to watch ONE MATCH! Stayed and watched them all in ONE GO ... lol! Unrivaled cast! Like usual you two! :D This was CRAZY! :D

[@scottstorchfan]

You’re actually world Class casters. Nevermind e-sports. Complement eachother so good! Thanks for the energy you bring to this!

[@Nick_Sin]

What a crazy series! Thanks to everyone who was involved! This was amazing! Khakdor, trix, baha amazing cast! All my love to you and players, guys , fantastic job! Eager to see more!

[@trainheartnet5657]

The first few seconds were like a found footage documentary. I love it.🤣

[@zachwhaley208]

Love the good sense of humor and laughter after US first win. Awesome.

[@spacesquid5427]

I love the tournament format, because all my favorite heros get used even if they're not quite top tier. That said, allowing 4 healers to be pre-banned made the last match a bit weird. Keep up the great content!

[@odyseeone]

Playing too much Storm League cost them that last game if they knew quick match meta (Which is what QM's usually are, no healer and no proper tanks) they would have known that Lunara needed leaping strike, and taking Thornwood Vine cost them that game, It's literally impossible for Lunara to play safe enough with Vine and not be zoned all game (Without healer or proper tank). She must have leaping strike for the escape when inevitably caught, and the chaos that it creates is enough to pick it up anyway (bait them to focus you for like 10 seconds 3v1 and still make it out, using R on a wall or clone). Then your team wins the 4v2 and you live anyway, can't believe Lunara made that mistake.

[@hitmenow]

Thank you so much for the uploads! I was able to avoid spoilers and enjoy all of the matches just by following your channel. Love this!

[@MrCarlosdiago]

Thanks @Khaldor for all the hard work.

[@chrishaywood2458]

Never really followed HOTS pro scene but I watched and I'm happy it's still alive. Not sure how you made this happen but bless you.

[@julianbock3849]

So happy to still see you khaldor Love from a german fellow I once had the honor of getting cast by you in heroes lounge 4 years ago❤❤

[@stefanschoenbauer89]

It feels soooooooooo damn good to see trikslyr and you cast together again. Also I want to highlight how much he improved his casting again since meta madness finals... Looks like he did his homework :). Please keep this going! Awesome work

[@TrikSlyr]

Easier to get back into the swing of things when I'm able to cast for a weekend vs a last second drop in. But, yeah, got my own stuff to work on.

[@stefanschoenbauer89]

@@TrikSlyr you did an amazing job. I had so much fun watching you guys together

[@minlexx]

Big thanks for this format (pre-bans and character can be played only once), as result we have the most entertaining and unusual matches!

[@cbachand]

This setup and you 2 commenting I was laughing my ass off. I absolutely loved it, great job.

[@Azhalan]

What a series ❤

[@ChapXII]

SUCH a good series, incredible from start to finish. So much fun.

[@NickMaovich]

this final was absolute bonkers Nice that scene lives. Thanks Khaldor, thanks everyone!

[@robertrichardapril]

Great tournament, great casting, great plays. Thanks everyone who was involved: Kevin, the casters (all 3, but especially Khaldor), the players, the people who supported with their wallets, the fans that were present (the cheers were great!), the team at the venue, etc.... Thanks for making this happen. It was a blast to watch.

[@JonathanPolis]

Awesome to be able to see matches like this at the pro level in HotS’ biggest tournament out there. Thank you!!!

[@lukejacobs2486]

that was a rowdy series. the event looked awesome. well done

[@ReconGW2]

what a series!!! I really enjoyed the games, thanks for keeping heroes alive!

[@jcl888]

Amazing final series for what was already an amazing tournament. Great work Khaldor and Kevin!

[@fa_rook_ak94]

that last match was just superb, it's really a masterclass on how play underplayed heroes. Was kinda upset at the meta madness format when they ran out of supports, but how else are you going to see a team of non-meta heroes in an entire match 💯💯

[@Kalogord]

Amazing series. Thank you Khaldor

[@FlorentBraquart]

Thank you so much for what you're doing for the Heroes E-sport, it is awesome and I am so happy we are able to watch some competition. Great Job Khaldor and all the team. What a great tournament ! I love this game, I miss HGC and this is great to watch. Thanks again !

[@christianhornlimann3079]

haven't watched heroes of the storm in quite some time, but maaaan this finals was fire! what a fun esport, I love it

[@xy7582]

Well organized tournament with great hosts ❤ I watched most of the finals, had a blast! Congrats to HasuObs and the German team! 🇩🇪

[@haydennn1]

I absolutely love the idle banter about road systems in match, makes me feel like I'm hanging with my friends chatting about random stuff while gaming hard :D

[@ArmedFreeFightTirol]

Thanks for Orga and Casting. Was very awesome to hear those Anthmes without any Politics swinging

[@StudioNBS]

Wow this is pulling views; I’m coming back into the game after a two year break and am stoked. Edit: whoever is in charge of the screen, hilarious game 4 shot, zooming in on the Abathur!

[@Andrukin99]

I love these vids brother. Your casting is always amazing.

[@Khaldor]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@danallard1966]

Grats to Kevin and Khaldor for putting this together, to all the players in every country that played, and all the front and back of house people that helped put the show together. Great casting from Khaldor and Trik for this match. A fantastic result! Couldn't ask for more! Feelsbad for the losing team, given how everything played out, but congrats to the winners for a great outcome! Look forward to seeing what comes next. Maybe Kevin starts hitting up all the big streamers who still play to get their fans on board as well!

[@beastlysnippets]

Insane match! Thanks to everyone of you for keeping the Heroes running!!

[@randombro177]

Having the draft change up with the single use really added a lot. Epic cast!

Game 4 really was a special one. The massive build up and the ultimate payoff. Perfect.

wow Trikslyr looking so professional writing down notes into his book while drafts!

I didn't know this game was still alive. This will be a fun listen, cheers.

"So Germany, they have big plans here. They want to take this without dropping a single map, but the United States, uh, they have a different agenda." What a perfect summary of what happened 80 years ago.... 😅

[@windposter]

Sick games! Had me on the edge of my seat game 3 and onwards!

[@brentstrom7928]

amazing series

[@DragnarDaBreaker]

The 4th game was sick! Germany didn't expect that full defense at all!

what a dazzling play to watch! so many exciting moments!

Amazing event. Perhaps next time around the game 7 unlocks all prebanned heroes?

They went full Bane on them: "We will feed them hope to poison their souls."! So good. Just... So good! P.S. Nova reported for inting!

[@7danu398]

Yhx for the competition 🎉🎉🎉

[@mycommentpwnz]

Game 7 the German team really outsmarted NA in the draft. You know what characters don't need as much healing? The ones who are invisible for most of the game.

[@elmexikanosai]

It's important to show respect during a national anthem as it symbolizes unity and pride. People might not always realize the impact of their actions, but a gentle reminder about the significance of the moment could help promote a respectful atmosphere. Please show some respect.

[@Khaldor]

How about you start with showing some respect for us creating and hosting this event first? Let's start with that 🙂

[@crespamente]

oh boy, thisis ... looking so much with my ranked matches xDDDD so much fun guys!!!
