el visage esta brutal ... y el efecto de la ropa q se mueve para atras mientras tira el primer skill simplemente genial ... 3 heroes en una cada vez mas cerca para q termine el beta :D

[Overture]

Según cybormatt ya no habrán nuevos heroes , entonces a esperar que dejen todo ok para la internacional 2 !!! :D

[TheUndertaker]

No te confies mucho en Cyborgmatt que el solo da un predicción en base a lo que ahi en el juego escondido . El primer update que hicieron con 3 héroes al mismo tiempo lo hacían para desacreditar las predicciones de Cyborgmatt.
