Dreadnaught streams 4 hours of educational commentary and replay analysis


Everyone likes to talk about why they lost a game, but Dreadnaught really likes to talk about it. Check out these rank 1 Hero League games from the perspective of Dreadnaughts Tyrande, Lt.Morales, Sonya, and Zagara.

Watch the past broadcast your self.

Watching replays after a game lost is a lesson most RTS veterans have made into a habit; there really is no better way to learn what went wrong and how to avoid it next game. In Heroes of the Storm, it's a tad bit harder to do this.

Why? Because not every game loss is your fault. What is there to learn by re-watching the same game you just lost, feeling helpless to your allies misplays and poor judgement? One of Dreadnaughts first games as Tyrande is a perfect example of this- the Muradin player was undeniably a huge part of the loss and, on the surface, it's easy to dismiss the game. I played the best I could and my teammates were awful. What else can you do but move on to the next match and try to carry with Kael'Thas?

But as Dreadnaught pours over the replay directly after the game loss, explaining in great detail what went wrong, complexities start to reveal themselves. We still see that Muradin is largely at fault, but we also see how the tiny mistakes by Dreadnaught and the rest of the team compound their disadvantages and make the game loss unavoidable. Dreadnaught and company take team fights that, in his own words, they "have no way of winning" due to being behind on levels and number of heroes ready for a team fight.

I highly suggest watching the stream for your self, it's almost impossible to watch all the games and commentary and not learn something about competitive Heroes of the Storm and how to win.

Dreadnaught streams semi-regularly at twitch.tv/dreadnaught_heroes.
