Synergy just beat Tricked on Braxis in a 7:48 game. Is that the fastest pro Heroes game ever played?

There's been several 6-7 minute ones before. Its rare though.
I've been farming blueberries for a few days now, I'm due for a tomato streak of epic proportions me thinks. Artanis is just so good.
I think some Korean BoE games have been faster.

I have to say, one of the things I love about this game is all the classic blizzard tunes. Nothing makes more nostalgic browsing the menus listening to the Diablo 2 LoD login screen theme.

that's a guy who never skips a single day at the gym, i'm pretty jelly... I'll get there someday though. Just gotta put on like 30 pounds of muscle
Lvl 22 on Haunted Mines, we still have two keeps, they have none, their golem is ever so slightly stronger than ours, what does my team do? Everybody defends. I just went core alone and managed to pull at least two of them with me after a while but it was still way closer than it should have been. JUST WIN THE VIDEOGAME!

I can't stop playing Artanis, the swaps are too fucking dank
The switch is slow enough, just to rub it in.

I've always wondered this cause I've never seen it. But does cleanse stop swaps if you land it before the prism hits?
Yes.
Gold can only buy heroes and chest rerolls though. It would actually suck if it turned into gold.
And master skins or are thet changing that?

Master skins are loot box items now, they're just counted as regular skins now. No more master skins.
Next hero teaser is out on the official twitter account, and... it's got claws. Looks like it's definitely not Overwatch. Warcraft dragon? Is it finally Deathwing? Will Pallytime get his wish?
Although it does say "something sneaks around in Hanimura..."
Apparently the female thing is a bit inconclusive. The french site indeed uses the feminine form, but sites in some other languages are apparently using the masculine.
I retract my suggestion, I didn't realize there was sound! It's deifnitely not a person, at least not all the time.
YellowFlash is in a good team in the Europe open division and also a grand master. That escape was godlike though I have to admit.

Feral Druid from WoW?
Might be just a bit bigger than that, the growl sounds a LOT like the filter they use for Deathwing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wq4Y7ztznKc
I know we don't get much of a sound clip, but it sounds more bestial than Deathwing or another dragon to my ears. Also, Deathwing is more known for his flames than his claws. But then again, the claw marks are vandalism to the symbol of the Shimada Clan dragon crest...
I love it when they tease the heroes this way. My favorite was the teasing of Dehaka where it slowly became more and more certain that's who it would be.

Those low ranking HL games where your teams toxic af and you still win cause the opposing team is even more toxic lol.
edit: I'm guessing feral druid for the new hero.

Well, there's Zurvan, from Starcraft 2. Another Primal Zerg, like Dehaka.
http://starcraft.wikia.com/wiki/Zurvan
Hell of a stretch there though. He wouldn't exactly have a reason to claw the Shimada dragon family crest
I'm now on team Deathwing. 2.0 is a huge event and this hero is getting their own special cinematic. They need to be as iconic as Varian and Ragnaros.

Link? Checked the twitter and nothing there
I would lose my shit if they announce Deathwing.

My bad, its the German HOTS twitter account or something: https://twitter.com/blizzheroesde/status/855541658934431744
Could be a Diablo boss/monster?
Someone over on Reddit pointed out that Yu'lon woud be super duper appropriate for a reveal here, but I'm not sure that growl ....exact fits her personality.
Yeah, I don't think so. Very obscure and like you said, the growl doesn't make sense.
If it's a Warcraft dragon, it's gotta be Deathwing, Onyxia, or Nefarion.
The thing about Yu'lon specifically is that she's
a) perfect for a Hanamura reveal (she's an eastern-style Dragon, like the Super Shimada Bro's family dragons)
b) almost certainly a support
c) Not 5000 yards long.
Not saying it can't be DW, but...don't be disappointed if it's her.
just got 4k gold out of the blue. It said something like "everyone in the nexus just got a free hero, but here's 4k gold instead"
...what?
lvl 40? of course. I came back kirb, I didnt just start :3
I guess they give out 4k heroes and I already have them?

It might be Deathwing
That growl is more masculine if anything. Can't be a druid because they don't have 3 claws. Deathwing scratching Hanamuras environment fits with the fact that his login screen was him scratching Stormwinds towers. He loves to scratch things.

I wanna lean towards Deathwing perhaps. This is a hero worthy of being featured in the new HotS cinematic, so it must be good (I would hope). They wouldn't waste that on an obscure character.
