Three things I would like to see at the next Heroes Championships (and Regionals too)

  1. Fun games. West (NA+EU) vs East (CN+KR) all-star games, reverse draft, staff and casters playing (players casting?), Lost Cavern, Arena and all the above combined - whatever you can think of. Just a bit of fun between some professional games.

  2. Fantasy bracket. Heroes of the Dorm can have it, why not the more important event?

  3. POV streams. If you don't know what it is, it would be two additional streams in which we would have no casters but we would hear the voice comms of the teams playing. This idea was introduced in CS:GO a while ago and I think it's unfortunately discontinued now. This was a bit controversial because the teams said that this gives the opponents too much insight into their strategies.
    Obviously before any kind of POV streams could be introduced, Blizzard should talk a lot to the players and find a solution to which they would agree. I can see a few solutions which could work:

  • not a whole POV stream, but occasionally giving a minute of the teamspeak on the main stream
  • releasing POV VODs after the event, no live POV streams
  • as above, but releasing only edited highlights, not edited matches
  • POV streams only of the for fun games

    I want to be able to download the replays and watch them in client after games are over.

    So many times I want to see something happening elsewhere on the map and can't.

    This is coming, I'm uploading the replays right now so you can download them! :)

    ETA might be ~12-24 hours though. (Need to verify everything first)

    Edit for clarity: the replays of the Spring Championship
