Heroes of the Storm Guide - Picks & Bans Statistics of HCOT Tournament Korea [by r_gg]

I compiled the pick & ban data of the Heroes Community Open Tournament (HCOT) in Korea, which is one of the qualifiers for the OGN tournament to decide Korea's Blizzcon representative.

• Here is the Google Doc of the data

The data is taken for Round of 8 and up, as the Butcher patch hit right after the group stage. The matches were mostly Best of 5s, with the finals being Best of 7, giving us total of 26 matches to look at. Only six heroes were not played at all in this tournament. (Chen, Diablo, Nova, TLV, Murky, Gazlowe)

Fun facts:

• Sgt. Hammer appearance involved the BFG at the finals
• Most Tyraels pick Sanctification over Judgement. Sanctification (7W9L) vs Judgement (1W4L)
• And no, none of the Zeratul plays involved the bug AFAIK.
• Team SioN that made it to Round of 8 was a team of high schoolers with one middle schooler. (Got eliminated by the champion, MVP Black though) They yolo'd a no-support comp for their last match in Haunted Mines.
