I wanted to put something in front of the audience that’s going to be playing this game as soon as possible. I wanted the fans and those interested in this game to be giving input in the earliest stage as possible. I wanted their input as soon as I could have it and I wanted to gauge interest in this category.
In the first game of a series between GLuck and Tempest recently, the decision was made to draft a hero who does not see play not only in Korea but globally, Probius.

Now the fact that we’re admitting we’re a MOBA now is great. I think saying we’re a casual MOBA isn’t the right word. I don’t think it’s ever really been true per se if you’ve actually dove into playing at a competitive level. Shaking that stigma within the community has been a challenge.
I was watching somebody playtest on Friday of last week and he played Shudderwock and Saronite Chain Gang triggered then Grumble, World Shaker triggered so he put two Shudderwocks to his hand that cost one mana and his turn lasted four minutes with all the animations.

When the tournament began this year, more than 300 schools across North America had participating teams associated with them, a drastic change from where the event started four years ago.
"I wondered, “Am I a good player?” Especially with loses. I thought in such a linear fashion that if you lose you’re bad and if you win you’re good and you can’t think like that as a pro player because you’re going to lose. It’s not always your fault and you could have played amazing and still have lost. It’s about recognizing you’re improving and that’s what I’ve put my focus on this year."

"I’m not an expert. I love to share my perspective on some of the things I’ve gone through to have success, but to look at me as a respectable or authentic source to be able to learn these things, it’s just not true. I’m just a kid trying to win a video game."
