Salce Leaves Curse

Below you can find a Vblog of Team Curse talking about Salce leaving the team. Also make sure to check out our youtube channel as Pluto grabs various interviews over at MLG Dallas.


Skillshot changes (no longer for this patch)

We reported yesterday about the skillshot changes that would be coming in the next patch. However due to issues with the PBE, this change will not be hitting live servers this patch.

We will NOT be releasing these changes for this patch unfortunately due to several severe bugs found and reported by PBE. We're looking to polish it up further and ship it in a patch in the near future. Thanks a lot for all the reports and concerns guys, we'll continue this conversation soon(TM).


Season 3 Path to Pro



Three teams from North America – TSM, Dignitas and CLG.NA – have already qualified for the Season Three Championship Series, but there are still five spots left to fill. With the new competitive season closing in, the search for the remaining Season Three contenders is officially on. 

When the end-of-season soft Elo reset happens on November 6, the Ranked 5v5 Team ladder will become your proving ground for the Season Three Championship Series. On December 27, we’ll invite the top 32 ladder teams from North America to participate in an online qualifier from January 4-6. From there, the top six teams will have an all-expenses-paid invitation to compete in a live qualifier tournament against teams from the North American Regionals that didn’t pre-qualify for the Season Three Championship Series, plus a few new Challenger Circuit competitors. This live qualifier is your team’s opportunity to go pro in Season Three. Finish in the top five and you’re one of the pro teams in the Championship Series!

Here’s a full rundown of how to qualify:



  • Hold one of the top 32 positions in the Ranked Team 5v5 ladder on December 27 by 3am PST to earn a spot in the online qualifier
  • Take top six in the online qualifier to advance and compete against Season Two’s remaining North American Regional competitors and new Challenger Circuit contenders at a live competition
  • Finish in the top five of the live qualifiers for your invitation to go pro in Season Three


The search for our final five pro teams begins when the ladder soft resets on November 6, so make sure that your team is prepared and ready to hit the ground running. We’re looking forward to seeing which teams rise to the challenge!


Wooglet's Coming to Dom Next Patch

Whoa, who confirmed that? Wooglet's is coming to Dom next patch, actually. More may follow suit, depending on how they test out.


S2 Border Rewards Update

Based on feedback we've actually changed our mind about showing these in other queues. In ranked it will show the border you achieved in the same queue (solo, 3v3, or 5v5) and in other game modes your ranked solo border will be shown.

And as before the borders will only be seen by allies (regardless of mode or queue).


Next Support Champion - Very Small Tease

But can we get any sort of a hint about the upcoming support? Something aside from SoonTM
Gender? Shoe size? Eye colour? Elementary school geography grade? Anything?
Don't give us a "NDA" excuse. You sir are morello, and can simply beat the "N" away with your golden nerf bat, leaving only the juicy "DA" behind
Yeah, but I don't wanna spoil stuff too early/things change!
I will tell you, she cannot wear shoes.
