For over a year now, the 4 position has become one of the most crucial positions in the pro meta. Heroes and player alike have dominated games and are often hailed as the playmakers of their teams. Alongside this trend of successful 4 position supports, roaming has become more and more important. Roamers dominate the picks and bans of tournaments and are often the target of nerfs in many mini patches. What seems to come easy to so many pro players though, is quite complex and keeps evolving. Let's break down roaming.

Clinkz has received buff after buff ever since he was introduced to Captain's Mode. Is he ready to enter today's meta?

Team Liquid defend their Epicenter title, 7.06d launches and Immortals II release. That and more in our weekly news summary.

At the recent Epicenter, Earthshaker was the third most picked hero, with a 59% win rate. This is quite the surprise, considering Earthshaker hasn’t been part of the meta for over a year now. So why has he suddenly appeared out of nowhere? It is always best to look back on why he wasn’t relevant in the first place.

The last tournaments before TI are usually filled with amazing games, high levels of tension, and new strategies. They are the testing grounds for teams with a guaranteed a slot and the last chances for strong teams to prove themselves for those remaining invites. They are usually played in a patch, which is not going to change much at TI, and as such can give a general idea on how the meta is going to develop for the next several months.
