Do you have a moment to talk about our Lord and Savior, Cho'Gall?
If you think Cho'Gall is bad, I have just the video for you...
My friend, Ducey, and I have played over 500 games together as the two-headed ogre chieftain and we have gotten pretty damn good at him. We have been talking for some time about starting a stream centered around him, and this video is meant to introduce just that. We have seen the demand for other popular streamers to play Cho'Gall, but from what we have seen, no one plays him like we do. We have seen everything from people who know how legit he is to people who think he is complete trash, a troll pick. This video, and subsequent stream, is for them. We have come to spread the gospel of the Twilight Hammer and to show everyone just how powerful Cho'Gall can be when built/played to his full potential. Blizzard knows full well how powerful their creation is (https://www.reddit.com/r/heroesofthestorm/comments/5bhg5w/chogall_needs_love/d9owrt7/), but from what we have seen, most players do not because of how poorly he is often played.
Our record in Hero League at the moment is 27-8, and we have consistently maintained a >60% win rate in QM. Every single one of our loses in ranked this season can be attributed to one or more players on our team feeding, trolling, or just not knowing what to do, and that is not an exaggeration. If you cannot draft at least 2 counters against us, it's pretty much over, and we have even beaten teams with as many as 3 counters (albeit said counters were not playing particularly well, would probably be a different story at high-level play).
We do not yet know what our streaming schedule will be or when we will officially start on our newly created channel. Ducey has a bit of an odd work schedule at the moment and my schedule is yet to be determined, but rest assured it is coming very soon™. We're going to start out by doing just QM so we can provide tutorials and show how Cho'Gall performs in a variety of comp situations. If we can generate enough interest, we will move on to ranked where we will try to play Cho'Gall as much as possible, as we do normally. Unfortunately, he isn't the kind of hero you can just spam every single game, draft matters, and there are other heroes the two of us are quite competent with. Despite that, he currently holds the most wins for both of us in ranked.

I hope you will join us; it's gonna be fun!
Edit: for those of you unable to view the video because of copyright issues, I have uploaded it to Twitch as well here: https://www.twitch.tv/rise_of_the_ogre/v/100117832
The video quality appears to have suffered only slightly, but at least the first chunk of the video is muted. This is the best I can do. I made the video the way I did intentionally and do not intend to change it. Your issue is with modern copyright law, not with me, and out of all the people who complained, only one of you suggested this solution.
Followup: We are going to do our first broadcast next Monday (11/14) afternoon (EST). We don't have an exact time nailed down, but if you've given us a follow, you'll see us on there. We plan to stream about 6-8 hours. We will also stream Tuesday and possibly Wednesday around the same time.
