![]() ![]() ChanManV Chris “ChanManV” Chan is the creator, producer and host of a number of popular weekly Twitch shows and podcasts covering the worlds of Hearthstone and Overwatch. You can check out Cora’s stream here and follow her on Twitter here. She’s also a co-host on the Coin Concede podcast. Known initially for her love of Secret Paladin, she has since diversified into a serious competitor when she's not on the desk. With a background in radio broadcast and various card games, Cora has worked on a number of Hearthstone events such as HCT, HGG, Tespa Collegiate Series, and DreamHack Austin. Cora Having recently graduated college, Cora has dedicated the last year to raising her profile as a Hearthstone caster. You can check out Raven’s stream here and follow him on Twitter here. They’ve since gone on to become a regular casting duo, and are firm believers that “face is the place”. Initially Raven was playing competitively, but wound up making the switch to casting, alongside fellow UK player Sottle. Raven A mainstay of Hearthstone’s roster of casters, you’ve probably seen Alexander “Raven” Baguley behind the desk during some of the game’s biggest tournaments, from the Hearthstone Championship Tour and Hearthstone Global Games through to various DreamHacks. You can check out Frodan’s stream here and follow him on Twitter here. He’s been with Tempo Storm since 2014 and works closely with Reynad on management of the organisation. A strong player and snappy dresser, Frodan has helped shape the public’s perception of Hearthstone. He was a key figure in the production of two important early series’ – Fight Night and the ESL Legendary Series, and has basically been host and caster for every major Hearthstone tournament since. He’s been involved with Hearthstone from the very early days. Frodan Just as the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, so too is Dan “Frodan” Chou one of the immutable laws of Hearthstone nature. You can check out his stream here and follow him on Twitter here. I have no doubt it will be Rdu’s turn soon. This wasn’t the first time he came close – last year he was pipped in the finals of the European Last Call by the eventual winner of the whole thing, Pavel. He recently finished in the top eight in the HCT Spring Championship, narrowly missing out on qualifying for the Hearthstone World Championship. Rdu One of the hardest working pro players around, Dima “Rdu” Radu has been playing competitively since 2014 and is hugely successful, with a number of big tournament wins, including DreamHack Summer 2016, under his belt. When I asked him if he had a bio, he replied “’NRG Amnesiac, best player in the world, no further questions’ – use that verbatim as my bio please.” You can check out Amnesiac’s stream here, follow him on Twitter here and find out a little more about him here. He’s an intelligent and analytical player and has an endearing sense of humour and confidence. Tournament success wasn’t far behind either – he played on the BlizzCon stage last year after reaching the World Championship finals and has had a number of other strong tournament performances. And a massive thank you to everyone involved! Who's Who? Amnesiac The player they call the Young Savage, William “Amnesiac” Barton exploded onto the scene when he was just 14 years old, hitting NA #1 legend in the August 2015 season, coaching top players and then signing with Amaz’s Team Archon (he’s now with NRG). We’ll do introductions first, then dive into the questions. To do that I gave the same set of six questions to a bunch of people. To find out how they’re feeling about Hearthstone right now, what they’d like changed or added, and what they think of the theme for the next set. With that in mind, now that there’s a little lull before Knights of the Frozen Throne kicks into gear (more info and card reveals are coming on July 24) I figured this was as good a time as any to take the pulse of some of my favourite pros and personalities within the community. There’s so much to learn, so much to discuss and so much fun to be had that I’m quite happy to divide my time between the community and the game itself. Hearthstone’s community, in other words, is pretty vital.
