Heroes Lounge S2 Weekly Recap #8

####Last Super Sunday We saw a lot of exciting games last Super Sunday which potentially should have shuffled some things up in the different divisions. [Stiches wants to Play](http://heroeslounge.gg/teams/view/97) could have pushed their rank in Division 1 as they were playing two games on one day. Unfortunately they lost both of their games in very close series 1-2 against [Throw The Advantage](http://heroeslounge.gg/teams/view/105) and [Team TFT](http://heroeslounge.gg/teams/view/113). [Lord of the Pings](http://heroeslounge.gg/teams/view/116) could secure their flawless appearance in Division 1 of Heroes Lounge so far by taking down [mYinsanity Heroes](http://heroeslounge.gg/teams/view/21) 2-0. [Jaywalkers](http://heroeslounge.gg/teams/view/72) and [ESOX Come Un Treno](http://heroeslounge.gg/teams/view/112) had both to step up in order to still have any chance on a Playoff spot in Division 1 of Heroes Lounge. In the end, Jaywalkers could take the series for them by defeating ESOX 2-0. For Division 2, we saw [TheForeverAlones](http://heroeslounge.gg/teams/view/53) winning over the [Agents007](http://heroeslounge.gg/teams/view/11) and [Vino Veritas](http://heroeslounge.gg/teams/view/68) losing against Nightmare. In Division 3, [Stormstout Brewery](http://heroeslounge.gg/teams/view/79) remained unbeaten as they have taken down [Beginner A.I.](http://heroeslounge.gg/teams/view/37) while [Fast Transition](http://heroeslounge.gg/teams/view/12) claimed the series over [SuperHappyFunTime](http://heroeslounge.gg/teams/view/120). ####HGC Open Division Last Monday, we saw again a couple of Heroes Lounge teams participating in [the second Cup of the HGC Open Division](http://www.gosugamers.net/heroesofthestorm/tournaments/13221-hgc-europe-open-division). In this series of Heroes of the Storm amateur tournaments, teams can earn points to qualify themselves for the Playoffs in the end and get a chance for the Crucible. In this event, the last two teams of the HGC league have to play against the finalist of the Open Division over the spots for the second half of 2017. The teams of Heroes Lounge who have played in the Cup on Monday were: * Gorge good Ult * Gaming in the Rhythm * Blame The Healer * ESOX * Team Solid

Gorge good Ult started with a BYE in Round 1 due to their good performance in the first Cup of the HGC Open Divison. In Round 2 they had to go against [Natalie is Freezing](http://www.gosugamers.net/heroesofthestorm/matches/156279-gorge-good-ult-vs-natalie-is-freezing) and lost 0-2. Gaming in the Rhythm had a rather tough opponent in their first round – [wp.me](http://www.gosugamers.net/heroesofthestorm/matches/156274-gaming-in-the-rhythm-vs-wp-me) - and could not take them down. Blame The Healer lost against [ForTheMoney](http://www.gosugamers.net/heroesofthestorm/matches/156276-blame-the-healer-vs-forthemoney) 1-2 in Round 1 and could not make it to Round 2 as well. Division 2 team Team Solid on the other side have won their first game against [Furrow Nexus Team](http://www.gosugamers.net/heroesofthestorm/matches/156272-aerials-vs-code-sygma) but could not take down [We love Cookies](http://www.gosugamers.net/heroesofthestorm/matches/156280-we-love-cookies-vs-team-solid) in Round 2. ESOX was the only team coming to Round 3 of the HGC Open Division Cup by taking down [Code Sygma](http://www.gosugamers.net/heroesofthestorm/matches/156272-aerials-vs-code-sygma) and [Pro. N00bs](http://www.gosugamers.net/heroesofthestorm/matches/156290-pro-n00bs-vs-aerials) in Round 1 and Round 2, respectively. In Round 3, however, they fell against [Salty Koalas](http://www.gosugamers.net/heroesofthestorm/matches/156299-salty-koalas-team-1-vs-aerials). In the Finals of the HGC Open Division Cup we could not see any of the above mentioned teams but saw [Polska Pamieta winning against last Cup’s winner Team Zealot](http://www.gosugamers.net/heroesofthestorm/matches/156305-team-zealot-vs-polska-pamieta) and [last Cup’s second place MAA losing against the a new team called Tossers](http://www.gosugamers.net/heroesofthestorm/matches/156306-maa-vs-tossers). In the end Tossers took the first place over Polska Pamieta, the team of Mopsio, and Team Zealot secured the 3rd place and still a couple of points. The next chance for all amateur teams is on Monday the 13th of February at 18:00 CET. The registration for this cup is already open and teams can start to sign up. ####Round 8 @ Heroes Lounge #####Division 1 At the end of the 8th week of Heroes Lounge Season 2 we have four different teams on top of Division 1 with seven wins so far. Three of them are unbeaten and Natus Dominari - the birthcontrol boys - are the only team which has already played their Round 8 match. On Thursday the 2nd they managed to win 2-0 against Stitches wants to Play.

The top match of the week will be Gorge good Ult against FAT #5 today on Super Sunday. Both of them showed a flawless series of matches so far, but today one of them will be put on the second place. Another Round 8 game which you should watch will be between the No Trick Ponies and Blame The Healer. The ponies have to win, if they do not want to give up the sweet top spot of Division 1, but Blame The Healer will fight for it as well, since they need the win to secure their spot for the Playoffs. Currently on rank #5, FalstadStillBugged have taken down Zero Tinder matches on Wednesday the 1st of February and are now even in wins with Gaming in the Rhythm who have defeated yesterday Kr bronze tier. On Friday, James Baker won against mYinsanity Heroes and are now tight in wins with Lord of the Pings and Team TFT. Lord of the Pings have to fight already today against the Jaywalkers, but Team TFT has their game against the Boosted Animals not scheduled yet. #####Division 2 At the beginning of Round 7, we had three teams even in wins and all of them unbeaten on the top of Division 2 - Throw Inc., Team Solid, and Starboys. In Round 7, Throw Inc. defeated Team Solid, thus, remaining on the top position of Division 2 only sharing it with Starboys. By the end of last week, Starboys still had to play their Round 7 match and they did ... on Tuesday ... and lost ... against Balance of Interest 1-2.

In Round 8, Starboys have to go up against Throw Inc. If they win, the loss against Balance of Interest would not be that bad. If they lose, they would be put on a possible sixth place and on a No-Playoff spot in Division 2 of Heroes Lounge. Unfortunately, there is still no scheduled date for this really thrilling match-up. Today, Don our Fedoras will play against Vino Veritas and with a win they can secure their spot in the top 3 of Division 2. However, there are plenty of teams who would like to see Don our Fedoras fail, as it would open possibilities to fight for that fourth and fifth rank. #####Division 3 By the end of this week, there are still eight teams on top of Division 3 who have won seven games so far. However, only two of them already played their Round 8 match. MEDIOCRIS won 2-1 against Puppies in Shark Tanks on Friday and Team Krarsem! have taken down GO|Feed on Tuesday.

Although Blackhearts Booty alread won their Round 8 match against MVP Bronze, they still have to play their Round 6 match against Fast Transition today at 21:00 CET. The top match of Division 3 this week will be played between Silver Plebs and Overextenders which are both unbeaten until now. ####Super Sunday In total, we have eight games for you today, from 4:00 pm CET on.
