This match represents all that's great since the new balance patch


SGT. Hammer, Auriel, and Cho'Gall all in the same Super League 2016 tournament match with one of the best teams in the world? Doesn't get much better than this.

Watch the full match here 

The new balance update has breathed new life into forgotten heroes. Most notably, SGT. Hammer and Cho'Gall buffs have caused a spike in both Hero League and, now, tournament popularity. Don't believe me? Check out the draft yourself:

SGT. Hammer was chosen as a last pick counter to Cho'Gall, which makes sense on Battlefield Eternity. SGT. Hammer's range buffs and Giant Killer talents allow her to safely DPS immortals while also taking big chunks off of Cho'Gall's massive HP pool. BooM was banking on their three melee lineup to provide adequate cover for the newly buffed Siege Tank, however, the synergy between Cho'Gall and Auriel is something that BooM might not have been ready for.

Tempo Storm is serious about their Cho'Gall / Auriel lineup and for good reason. The amount of energy Auriel gets from casting Bestow Hope on Cho'Gall is out of control. Instead of benefiting from just one heroes damage, Auriel gets energy from both Cho and Gall's damage. This means tons of healing in the middle of a team fight.
