^The map's called Hive's Heroic Holidays, and this is a short intro cinematic.
^After the intro, a captain from each of the three teams must choose a faction one at a time. The captains have an ability that allows them to read a lore summary of the selected faction leader - which can be either the Mad King, Cupid, Mania, Cthulhu or Santa Claus.
^After all teams have decided their factions, they will be taken to a hero selection phase. This is how Cupid's selection phase appears.
^Again, the players can get some useful information about the heroes by using their spell - this is Am'ar Gaardos' description.
^When choosing a hero, the hero is teleported to the team's castle, ready to engage in the Hive's Heroic Holiday battle..
