The showmatch ended up not being casted live, but was uploaded to YouTube yesterday on S2 Games' channel.

You'll notice that S2 Games' own DivA was subbing in for the absent [MSI] NoVa_. By no means was this a serious game, but it's a fun chance to see the newer or rarely-used heroes in action. And there was plenty of action, as you would expect from these crazy hero lineups. (I'm not sure that OK's Emerald Warden + Rampage "horse" lane will catch on.)
The new spectator UI looks promising, with a lot of cool features including Gold and Experience sliders at the top, collapsible item slot windows on the sides, and graphs at the bottom. There are hero damage alerts that pop up so you don't miss the action in other lanes. Overall, a lot more information can be displayed and used by casters, without cluttering up the screen. I'm not a huge fan of the League of Legends-esque glowing hero outlines, but that feature can be turned off.
Get ready to experience Patch 2.1 yourself when it goes live today!
