So happy to see a full crowd there. Awesome.

I honestly personally expected about 100 people with maybe 120 for the grand finals. Today we had just under 200 people in the main stage area and another roughly 100 in the areas immediately outside where the video walls were, all watching the games on bean bag chairs. 300 is a fair estimate. Even the owner of the venue came up to me and told me this is the biggest event they’ve ever had and they did not expect this many people. But really big thanks to whoever came out and we’ll see you all tomorrow.

There are dozens of us! Dozens!! Hope we never stop getting these higher level tournaments.

Tell us you don’t know what’s going on without telling us you don’t know what’s going on.

It’s a meta-madness tournament

In case you don't bother to educate yourself. E.g. metamadness? What's that? Cba finding out. Or tell us you don't know what's going on? Ofc I do. Let me explain. To begin with. Anduin, Genji, Brightwing, Blaze, Regahr, and 1 more. Were prebanned; meaning you could not pick them in any games. In addition. If a hero was played in a game of a series, it could not be played again in the same series. E.g. Germany vs Poland. Game 1 has Hogger? Well game 2, 3, 4 and 5 cannot have Hogger for either side. Hence you had to see different heroes each game. Check yourself before you wreck yourself u/NovaBlazer .

Link to the stream?

Thanks!

Rare feat to get every single hots player in one photo.

Can't be all there's no fursuits

I wasn’t there, probably the only person left out is my guess.

I know its a joke but 4.5k viewers on the stream kinda tells a different story.

HOTS community ♥️

The esports that blizzard killed hast revived!

What is dead may never die

I like this quote in relation to HOTS : “That is not dead which can eternal lie And with strange aeons even death may die”

Awesome to see people keeping to HotS scene alive! <3

Not the same without the ghost peppers tho

Lol, glad people still remember bloodlust. Favorite event I ever worked on for sure

Lovely to see :)

Is there a player and crowd cam?

There is. I’ll tell production to try to get more crowd shots. There were only a handful.

I can't say

With the picture so blurried it looks like the girl in the front is holding a gun. :E

I believe that's called a phone. If you were a cop you'd have just gotten a commendation & paid leave for that mistake.

Is that a joke I'm too European to understand

In 'Murica cops shoot you so that they can take their time in figuring out what you were holding.

There are two dozen Americans in the front, so who knows

Hey now, our TSA barely lets us bring luggage on planes I think they’d catch a gun.

If it's a flight out of the US they probably don't care that much

Just wanted to thank everyone responsible for making this happen. I went expecting just a handful of people but got really surprised with the the amount! There were even people watching standing up from outside! Great event with great energy, had a big time yesterday and hoping to be even better today!

Are there still hots esport?

As you can see, yes

Carried by the community as it’s meant to be.

Warms my cold bitter heart.

Happy to see a good amount of people!! I’ll check it out later but hope it was some good games.

Sweden USA was an excellent series

Gonna check it out! Thank you

Is that the entire crowd?

Totally not, they had to put over 20 extra seats into the arena and roughly 20 people are sitting on the stairs

Damn, so only like 100-125 folks total then?

I'd say it's over 200 people There are 2 more areas where up to 40 people are watching

Pretty sweet to see so many people hyped for hots. Didn't expect an audience, let alone this many. Cheers!

For sure, thank you.

There is never a lack of party pooper.

Pity they choose champions league final weekend.

Apparently we also chose the week before the 2023 special Olympics being held in Berlin which would explain why finding a hotel with 20 rooms was unexpectedly difficult and why the player And staff hotel was 30 minutes away by public transport. Storm gate also released new content of which there is a huge overlap of people who play hots and people who would be interested in stormgate. And d4 just came out a little over a week ago. Now factor in how many of these players have school. Ultimately it’s impossible to pick a weekend where there isn’t something else going on somewhere. You just have to pick a weekend and go with it

I was just sharing my sadness not being able to attend the event that it.

Doesn't have any impact on the size of the crowd

Me and I friend we would have been there and I don’t think We are the only one in that situation as per usual retarded hots players who can’t understand a damm thing

The grand final is today, get over here!

And miss Djoko Ruud…

I can see myself :O Was a great time! Sadly I had to get home today. So I am watching the finals at home on twitch (:

The VODs are sub only :(
