As we head to our fourth seasonal heroes lounge championship playoff weekend, Morpheus sat down (virtually) with our fellow participants to ask them of their thoughts about the competition.
By the way, we're also running contests and giveaways this weekend! Check out details here.
Ponies With No Tricks
Deathknight, GSP - The only team that beat the legendary Gazlowe from GSP. Can sweep through losers bracket or drop out immediately. Need Cenric to wake up first though to start playing.
Nikurasu, GeY - Probably the best team, at least among the best.
Zap3, Toads - Like i love these dudes! they have a great team, great players in team and Patsku is just great person and leader. and I'm secretly in love with Silver ”Man Candy” Fox.
Maikeru, IN - Didn't know that guy.
Oment, PP - All hail the lord of the #saltmine.
Epixors, DOF - Ponies are a staple team in Lounge, and have a big advantage in being a full Finnish roster. Their performance is however inconsistent, and they are fairly predictable, so I don’t expect them to make it far this season.
BananaDreams, DIO - The friend team of my support MXD. They seemed strong in scrims and have a great name abbreviation.
Rozmex, NFF - I think they can go top 6, but we face them now in first round lower bracket, time for revenge after our last match where we lost 1-2.
Tylon, BBB - Took a game from GSP, should not be underestimated.
Morpheus, GGU - Don't think it will be a long run for the Ponies with no tricks (haHAA).
nTla, WU - Who's that?
Guile eSports Youth
Deathknight, GSP - 1 Game they play really good, the other they play like 5 randoms in Hero League. I hope that Nikurasu is teaching them everything he learned from YellowFlash VoHiYo
Patsku, PWNT - Good team with a specific brawling style, takes a bit of adjusting to.
Zap3, Toads - Nikarasu, hmm name seems to be like from china, and player skills like korean. Very good team.
Maikeru, IN - (Didn't know) this guy neither.
Oment, PP - no comment.
Epixors, DOF - Despite some roster issues, GeY have shown to be able to step up when needed. They do seem to have issues with drafting, which will probably hurt them quite early on.
BananaDreams, DIO - While I do know MrTyco from hero league playing well, I’m afraid I do not know too much more about this team other than their low standings at the start of group stages. But this is not to say that I will write of teams at the lower side of the standings as my own team is not ranked too high while we have high hopes.
Rozmex, NFF - After Replika dropped out of playoffs, they got to place 3 in group, i don't think they will last long in playoffs.
Tylon, BBB - Hard to judge, I do not know much about them..
Morpheus, GGU - Team is ⅗ with tryouts that didn't work for us, so will be cool to face them i guess.
nTla, WU - Who's that?
Pocket Toads
Deathknight, GSP - #prayfortoads
Patsku, PWNT - They seem to have magic powers.
Nikurasu, GeY - Think they were the weakest team in group 1.
Maikeru, Toads - Well, that guy I don't know.
Oment, PP - All the thoughts and prayers couldn’t save them.
Epixors, DOF - #PrayForToads
BananaDreams, DIO - Love the team picture.
Rozmex, NFF - #prayforpockettoads, DansGame they are not in playoffs.
Tylon, BBB - I believe the toads will take this whole championship, no doubt. #prayfortoads
Morpheus, GGU - #prayfortoads MonkaS.
nTla, WU - Who's that?
-Insert Name-
Deathknight, GSP - Contender for the Championship if they ban maps with Bosses. They practiced really hard the last days by playing Fortnite, Darkest Dungeon and Scribbl
Patsku, PWNT - Team league rivals, unfortunately our lounge match got cancelled due to bad luck. Tough, well rounded group, maybe a dark horse in the tournament.
Nikurasu, GeY - Didn't see any of their matches.
Zap3, Toads - Never met this team, seems like legit division 1 team.
Oment, PP - Excellent in punishing errors, a team to watch out for.
Epixors, DOF - Maddeningly inconsistent, -Insert Name- could take it all or drop out early. I expect them to make it far, but once it gets to the top 4 it’s all a matter of them showing up or not.
BananaDreams, DIO - A strong team with good players. Will be a good winners bracket match.
Rozmex, NFF - #robbgate . Winner of group 2… i think they will go top 4 if they will play their best at playoff weekend.
Tylon, BBB - Not so familiar with this team, many mysteries, much wow.
Morpheus, GGU - A hot contestant for the final, but i hope we get revenge for the HeroesHype match, this time with our full roster!
nTla, WU - Who's that?
Grub Sub Pride
Patsku, PWNT - Probably the best team, at least among the best.
Nikurasu, GeY - The most op team.
Zap3, Toads - Deathknight, why does he have to have so cool name? I want to have that name! Great person and I think leader of strongest team in this season.
Maikeru, IN - Pls not that guy.
Oment, PP - Hardly as one-trick as they say they are. Probably the favourite after dropping just two map total.
Epixors, DOF - The favorite to win. Incredibly strong mechanical players, solid shotcalling, but they also love to meme. As long as they don’t get ahead of themselves, they’re likely to take the trophy home.
BananaDreams, DIO - Very strong team. I love their attitude when interacting with them. they all seem to have a good sense of humor which is important or things might end up too serious.
Rozmex, NFF - Meme team, playing gaz every game from now?! Ponies were able to take one game from their gaz… So i think teams like GGU, Dio, Wu, Insert name could win against them if they keep playing gaz. If they will play standard things they are probably gonna win everything in Championship.
Tylon, BBB - If it weren’t for the Pocket Toads they’d be the scariest opponents to face.
Morpheus, GGU - The masters of bm, soon also masters of Heroes Lounge?
nTla, WU - Who's that?
Pleb Police
Deathknight, GSP - Definitely the team with the best Name in the Championship. Didn’t really watch their games, but how can you lose games with that name, right?
Patsku, PWNT - no comment.
Nikurasu, GeY - Didn't see any of their matches.
Zap3, Toads - Good team, easy to schedule matches.
Maikeru, IN - Oh Right, that guy, no, don't know him.
Epixors, DOF - The real dark horse of division 2. Individually strong players that have solid coordination. While I don’t expect them to perform well against the top half, the bottom half of division 1 should definitely be on the lookout.
BananaDreams, DIO - I'm a fan of any team containing one of my fanboys. I will definitely be keeping an eye on this team’s progress during the playoffs. (love) grayhoudt
Rozmex, NFF - They won twice in this season against DOF (winner of div 2) already, they can probably can go to second round of lower bracket but i think they will end here.
Tylon, BBB - Had some great games with the police earlier in the season. Hope we play them again.
Morpheus, GGU - The only thing i wonder about them is if they at least pick Busan Police Hovercycle and Police D.va Spray.
nTla, WU - Who's that?
Don Our Fedoras
Deathknight, GSP - Most likely to win Championship if they drop out in round 1. Nobody can stop the rigging
Patsku, PWNT - Reasonably strong (for a div 2 team GuldansGame).
Nikurasu, GeY - Didn't see any of their matches.
Zap3, Toads - Good team with an epic solo laner!
Maikeru, IN - Oh please stop cancer.
Oment, PP - Master-level riggers out of form for most of the playoffs, sadly.
BananaDreams, DIO - Losing with style
Rozmex, NFF - #0-0-6 to playoff weekend. Totally not rigged team, after they won div 2, they could go second in their group but clown happened and they almost didn't get into playoff weekend, thanks to clown park dropping out they got chance. They will play first round Always WU so unless they cheese them two times out of three I don't see DOF getting out of round 1.
Tylon, BBB - Won over us during the season, hope we can get a chance for revenge.
Morpheus, GGU - Life is cool when you can rig yourself into playoff weekend.
nTla, WU - Who's that?
Dionysus
Deathknight, GSP - Easily top 4 team. Bananadreams the God in pressing Shield as Tassadar. Press F to pay respects after the tournament ended FeelsBadMan
Patsku, PWNT - Another of the stronger teams, but they may have consistency-related problems, a little bit like us. Interested in seeing which team clowns worse if we face off.
Nikurasu, GeY - Didn't see any of their matches.
Zap3, Toads - MXD MXD MXD MXD, Really good team with good players.
Maikeru, IN - pls dont use Flesh in playoffs please.
Oment, PP - no comment.
Epixors, DOF - Much like -Insert Name-, when Dionysus show up they show up. However, with them currently undergoing some roster changes and a bit of mutiny, I have doubts about their performance going into the playoffs.
Rozmex, NFF - Last tournament for this team, going to winners bracket as winner of group C. They will probably make it to top 4, maybe even to finals.
Tylon, BBB - Great team and really a force to be reckoned with, looking forward to see how far they can go.
Morpheus, GGU - The last tournament for them as a team, so they will be looking to make it a good one. But is their playstyle as good as BananaDreams hair?
nTla, WU - Who's that?
Coopera Gaming
Deathknight, GSP - Clear favourite to win it all. #2 Seed in Division 1 after playing almost every top team
Patsku, PWNT - Started the season strong but then fell off hard, meta doesn't seem to suit them atm. A bit gimmicky perhaps?
Nikurasu, GeY - A team that enjoys rehgar, they were the stronger team.
Zap3, Toads - Good team with good players.
Maikeru, IN - clever gaming ... yes yes.
Oment, PP - no comment.
Epixors, DOF - CoopEra is a team with very strong synergy, and some comps they are top-tier on. If the top teams do their homework however, clever drafts will remove most of their threat.
BananaDreams, DIO - stronger team than anticipated. Almost gave up the winners bracket to this team!
Rozmex, NFF - Coopera didn't had to play anyone strong in regular season and still they were second in div 1. First strong opponent was dionysus and coopera got 2-0’d. They will probably make it to top 6 since they got 2 div 2 teams and guile in their bracket.
Tylon, BBB - Looks like a strong team, and they got the score to back it up.
Morpheus, GGU - KerriganGaming and winner of freewins, lets see how far they will go when they face opponents.
nTla, WU - Who's that?
Need For Feed
Deathknight, GSP - Rozmex and Tassadar Bot carrying NFF out of the groups. Not sure how far they can go, I just hope for the DoF vs NFF to happen
Patsku, PWNT - A team with a lot of good ideas and potential, if they can harness their int-based playstyle to its maximum effect.
Nikurasu, GeY - Stitches one trick team.
Zap3, Toads - Great amount of saltiness in one team, Just kidding good team with really good team members.
Maikeru, IN - It's enough to see Froge in my Hero League games.
Oment, PP - Need to feed less; seem to have a lot more potential than is coming out.
Epixors, DOF - Need for Feed hovers in the lower end of division 1, on a good day just above teams like PWNT and GeY, on a bad day just below. Having had roster issues throughout the season, I expect playoffs to be very rough for them.
BananaDreams, DIO - True to their name.
Tylon, BBB - I think Robb helped them get to the playoffs. #robbgate
Morpheus, GGU - Not sure if Rzmx God can carry Froge Bolts :thinking:
nTla, WU - Who's that?
Battle Beast Boys
Deathknight, GSP - Not sure what to think of BBB. Most likely to drop out first in playoffs if they survive the group
Patsku, PWNT - no comment.
Nikurasu, GeY - Didn't see any of their matches.
Zap3, Toads - Great captain, great team, i have only good things to say about these dudes! Keep on going! BBB, (love) Toads.
Maikeru, IN - Never heard of that guy.
Oment, PP - Surprise panda, with strong play and a good eye for interrupting things, like ults, rotations, and casters trying to say their name three times fast.
Epixors, DOF - Battle Beast Boys win with Gazlowe. They have my respect.
BananaDreams, DIO - Fun to have some division 2 teams participating in the tournament, surprised at their ability to take a game off division 1 teams.
Rozmex, NFF - BBB might not even enter playoff weekend if they don't take map from coopera, then they would face us in tiebreaker which i think we should win. We did drop one map to them thanks electricity drop in my city.
Tylon, BBB - Hard to judge, I do not know much about them.
Morpheus, GGU - Are they riding plebosaurus in their matches?
nTla, WU - Who's that?
Gorge Good Ult
Deathknight, GSP - Most likely to reach the final after scrimming the last weeks. Could fail if they misclick and don’t draft double support
Patsku, PWNT - Strong drafting and shotcalling, one of the top teams as well.
Nikurasu, GeY - Didn't see any of their matches.
Zap3, Toads - Seems like a really good team.
Maikeru, IN - Double support ResidentSleeper.
Oment, PP - no comment.
Epixors, DOF - GGU is another team that has been around for a while now, and have one of the most rigorous practice schedules in the Lounge. However, they’ve also historically choked in later stages of the playoffs. Top 4 seems guaranteed, beyond that it’s a mystery.
BananaDreams, DIO - My rival team. I have known erwin before I even started playing competitive HOTS. The first team I was to put together was to be with erwin until he got an offer from another team. Ever since we have been tracking each other's progress and scrimming since then. Hope they do well in the playoffs :)
Rozmex, NFF - GGU 3rd playoffs for them, I hope now they will finally win playoffs. Galne is top 1 support in lounge tbh. Also huge thanks for their support everytime I play something in Lounge open div.
Tylon, BBB - They will most likely go far in the championship, however we are not scared of the gorges.
nTla, WU - Do you know prices for Lounge?
Diablo Needs Affection
Deathknight, GSP - Only Division 2 team to win a bo2 vs a Div 1 team. Don’t think that Diablo needs some more affection though.
Patsku, PWNT - no comment.
Nikurasu, GeY - Didn't see any of their matches.
Zap3, Toads - DNA, going to go top of div1 teams i think, Good players and good team, keep on going!
Maikeru, IN - Never heard about that guy too.
Oment, PP - Experts in roaming the map and driving their opponents to lament their immobile draft.
Epixors, DOF - Diablo Needs Affection is much like CoopEra Gaming. Strong synergy, and a few comps where they’re good on. Much weaker individually however, they’ll probably be target banned and drop out early.
BananaDreams, DIO - no comment.
Rozmex, NFF - DNA going from place 3 in their to playoffs after defeating TTA div1 team. They could surprise and go top 6 in playoffs.
Tylon, BBB - I expect some Diablo to be picked so he can get his affection already.
Morpheus, GGU - One of the few div 2 teams that beat a div 1 team, curios how far they can go.
nTla, WU - Who's that?
Always Wu
Deathknight, GSP - Now that they got Memedor on their team, I think they will have a good run. Unless he gets tilted, then it’s gonna be really hard.
Patsku, PWNT - Traded games with them last season, seem to be improving constantly. One of the top dogs for sure.
Nikurasu, GeY - They really like healing.
Zap3, Toads - Wu Tang Clan? Why it’s always WU?! Tell us?!? Great team and great players.
Maikeru, IN - I love Kupschi when she is drunk.
Oment, PP - Contenders to win, nastily strong team.
Epixors, DOF - Always Wu is always scary. Another team that should easily make it to top 4, and if they show up they could maybe get an upset against GSP.
BananaDreams, DIO - old team that has had a difficult time vs our team in both scrims and matches but I believe they have more to offer than what they showed in our games.
Rozmex, NFF - They almost won last season against my old team in finals. I think they have high chances now to win as well.
Tylon, BBB - Don’t have much information about them, but I like the name. Go Wu!
Morpheus, GGU - Great players and cool guys, would be awesome to meet them in finals, especially because we are 4:1 against them in our last 2 official matches.
nTla, WU - WUUUUUU
