Hey folks, only five days to go before the start of Season 5. To celebrate the countdown, we will be presenting you daily division previews starting with division 5. Today, we will present you five teams to look out for in division 5.
HotsTough returns this season just off the baptism of fire from Season 4 Heroes Lounge Cup where they managed to take a game off IX Kohorta. Having barely missed out on division promotion, this will be their season to lose. HotsTough are masters of small maps having Battlefield of Eternity , Braxis Holdout and Tomb of the Spider Queen their three most played maps. It is also not surprising that the best heroes on their roster includes the likes of Zarya and Valla which suits their sustain skirmishes playstyle.
Dentro and 6th Wheel Hots returns with a vengeance barely missing out on the playoffs as joint favourites to win the division. Another team that loves Braxis Holdout with a massive 83% win rate, 6th wheel ironically struggles on other smaller maps with average 33% winrate on TotSQ and BOE. Their small map pool might be exploitable by studious enemies having Cursed Hollow the only other map with a positive win rate. Teams will be looking to try and control their Greymane in draft, with an impressive 90% win rate despite being the most picked and 'banned against' hero.
Facepalm will definitely not be feeding the troll this season, the Germans will be looking to challenge the pecking order of Division 5. Lead by captain H2H, it is assassin player Flax and Angebo that will be the cornerstone of their success. Look towards high priority on ETC and Muradin with Xul cropping up occasionally.
Will Potatoes finally win division 5 after selling Lounge Master Cosmic to Team Kinky? Lounge veterans Potatoes certainly knows what it takes to navigate the rough seas of division 5, but will have to look towards not playing Sonya. Sonya, despite being their most picked hero by far is also their most unsuccessful hero with a measly 27% win rate. This is only slightly better than Rehgar who is sitting at 0% (played 5 times).
Another newcomer in Teamleague Rank 1, this impressive 8 man roster will look towards their captain Danjel to carry them to victory. Flex players Danjel and Monki will be the cornerstone of this team, so be on look out for some possible Medivh and Chromie shenanigans.
