I compiled a grid that includes every unique hero that has been picked at the tournament so far. Let me know if I’m missing anyone…. Read more »

These were screenshotted from the MYM v M5 game hero selection.  The spectator had his cursor over the Dire portrait the whole time, so sorry for that.  I’ll be grabbing more as the games go on…. Read more »
