Request: spoiler-free subreddit and twitterfeed

Midseason brawl is awesome, and I try my best to keep up with the games I want to see, but a busy schedule means that I'm usually a day or two behind. I'm following @blizzheroes on twitter aswell as this subreddit, and in the last week there's been a couple of big spoilers.

Please don't spoil any results in any way, I really want to stay updated on the game without risking anything.

Edit: SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER

to clarify, posts named HGC Mid-Season Brawl - winners' final :: Team Dignitas (EU #2) vs Fnatic (EU #1) :: Discussion Thread is a major spoiler for people like me who haven't seen the winners semifinals yet, please don't use the team names in titles lile this.

This is definitely an interesting discussion topic and though it may be a better suited one for /r/HeroesMeta. I'll chime in a bit on our social media side of things.

Social media in general is a fleeting thing. We do pin the current patch for the tournament realm / Clashes / Brawl / Finals, but the rest of it comes and goes. We us the HeroesEsports twitter to have a place to celebrate the hype of the event live and bring special moments out that might not get seen otherwise.

As for spoiler free content, we've put a lot of effort into the official HGC website this year to provide that for any people looking for it.

This next part is an aside from me personally, I've seen subreddits survive and thrive when people are able to react as a group to something. Major upsets, huge matches, outstanding individual play, all of these things are really cool to see multiple threads and comments about because you can almost feel the community coming to life around the event and it seems to bring everything to the "next level." That's not to say they can't be curated after a bit but the initial flood of "OMG I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY PULL THIS OFF" is one of the coolest things to see when it comes to esports content that comes from the fans.
