We've got teams!! Check them out in the spoiler below.
Thanks to @Dibby and @Inquisitor77 for helping me sort our players out. Hopefully we've got a good balance of roles and skills.
Since we've still got a few weeks before we start playing, I highly recommend teams play together to figure out strats and lock in a solid shot caller. Don't ignore the importance of having one steering the car. You can also use this time to iron out mechanics, positioning, and finding role unity.
AND DON'T FORGET TO COME UP WITH SOME BALLER TEAM NAMES!
Tournament type (Swiss, Round-Robin, Single Elimination, Double Elimination, etc) to be determined
Battlegrounds:
Each team gets one map ban
Battlefield of Eternity
Blackheart's Bay
Braxis Holdout
Cursed Hollow
Dragon Shire
Infernal Shrines
Sky Temple
Tomb of the Spider Queen
Teams: (TBD)
Knight_ (Knight#1522) MasterWarrior/Fill
MMMig (MMMig#1238) DiamondSpecialist
Traib (Traib#1952) PlatinumSupport/Specialist

These are some potent-looking teams we've got, there's great potential there. Ducks & Korror sounds like a very good recipe for carrying me so I'm good with that!
I'm giving Ducks' team the good odds, that's a scary lineup. Though weasel's team has Kieri and that's only gone well too.
Your team is pretty stacked too; I think Tim is a sleeper pick that's worth a lot more than their Bronze label. Really the only thing holding any of the teams back is that one had to have Kime on it.

I'm glad everyone's happy with the teams! We put in a lot of effort to make sure that teams were equal in both player rank/skill and role.
We started out with putting the 4 best players on seperate teams (in our opinions!!) to start. Then we made sure each team had at least 1 tank and 1 support player. Then we tried to fill things out according to roles/rank, then we looked at our preliminary drafts and shuffled some players around.... and voila, there you have it.
I definitely put in a lot of the initial legwork but @MNC Dover was essential with helping finalize everything. Team effort!
Anyway, as per requested, those who specified to not be Captains are not Captains. So it will be up to the teams to figure things out like who's gonna be shotcalling and who has the final say, etc etc. We'll let y'alls figure that out!
AND COME UP WITH SOME GOOD TEAM NAMES, Y'HEAR???

Their team is literally Stukov, Jaina, Alarak, Junkrat, Nova. Nova is the only one who I don't zone away as Sonya. How the heck are the three supports behind me dying in multiples, nearly simultaneously, every fight, even ones where we get the first kill? I literally cannot fathom incompetence of that level, especially the Lucio who COULD NOT STOP STANDING IN RING OF FROST. You have a speed boost! Walk out!

i'm not sure i like the hgc roster changes. i really liked r20s roster, and this probably makes them better since goku and glau had such big overlap, but i really liked rooting for them
team should be good though, justing is still na's best tank, and goku is na's best solo laner and buds is a great support.
freedom got utterly gutted in the process though, which is a shame. tempo is going to be this season's GFE as well, roster that looks like it should be good but has nobody who can play tank and is going to get abused by good teams all day because of that.

Said announcer had better be part of some bundle or something that I can purchase with gems upon release. If it is only purchasable with shards then there will be PROBLEMS.
I'm ok with paying a premium to grab an alarak announcer alongside some garbage that I don't care about, but buying chests to fish for shards is decidedly NOT on the table and Blizzard won't get a cent from me for that.

What are the two music pieces they use? I recognize them but I can't name them.
Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if Labor had not first existed. Labor is superior to capital, and deserves much the higher consideration. - Lincoln
I usually keep the shards for dup legendaries. ,400 is a good chunk. I couldn't even tell you what gems are for. I don't think I've ever interested with them.
So when you roll a legendary duplicate, do y'all keep the 400 shards, or reroll?
I've been rerolling all this time because shards are weird.
Like, we have four currencies in this game?
Real monies
Gold
Gems
Shards
Wtf.
Noooooooooooooooo no no no no no no
Never ever ever reroll a dupe Legendary
That's 400 Shards. That's a large chunk of Shards. Dupe Legendaries are a huge source of income for Shards.
Especially like, think of it this way. There's a pity timer for Legendaries in HotS, in the same vein as in Hearthstone, right? But when you reroll a Legendary in HotS, I'm pretty sure that also resets the pity timer.
Also there's nothing weird or confusing about the currency system. You say there's four, but it's actually three.
Real Money = Gems. These two are the same. There's nothing else you can spend Real Money on, Real Money buys Gems, which in turn is able to buy certain things in the shop.
Gold is used to buy Heroes and reroll loot chests. It comes from dailies and playing the game. That's it.
Shards are used to craft Skins. They come from receiving duplicate items in Loot Chests. That's also it.
It's a very, very simple system. Shards are extremely valuable. I'm sitting on like ~7000 or so? Maybe 8000? I think I just crafted a Legendary skin though. But having that many, which I've all gotten from Loot Chests, allows me to not have to spend a single cent on the game (outside of Stim Packs! I think those are still quite worthwhile.)
Keep any chest containing a rare or better item you like.
Reroll chests no more than twice
Keep common chests if the chest has 2 rares or 1 epic/legendary (regardless of duplication)
Keep rare chests if the chest has 3 rares or 1 epic/legendary (regardless of duplication)
Keep epic chests if the chest has 2 rares, 2 epics, or 1 legendary. Keep 1 rare chests or don't reroll if you are short on gold (but you probably won't be post 2.0)
If you want more than one 10k hero/release, re-roll 0 or 1 times.
