English version of the motto
I wasn't paying attention to the championship, its marketing and especially the promotion around the english version of the official motto "Heroes Incoming" so I don't know how and why this translation was chosen. The czech version "Hrdinky přicházejí" more correctly translates to "Heroines Are Coming" ("Heroines Incoming") which makes more sense considering we're talking about female players.
Does somebody have an insight into the decision? Was it because of the number of fans and visitors for whom Engish is not their first language and may possibly confuse heroine and heroin? But why then use the phrase "heroes incoming" which is probably even lesser known unless you're a comics fan?

- I always thought 'incoming' was a funny word to use because it's like you have to watch out for or avoid getting hit by the superheroes. I'd be good with
The motto was "Hrdinky přicházejí", which was marketed in English as "Heroes Incoming", though more precisely translates to "Heroines Incoming".
