The prominant eSports website, GosuGamers, looked back at the highlights 2016 in Heroes of the Storm gameplay, events, personalities, and more, getting fans to vote for their favourites in a number of different categories.

Bakery won the community poll for his ability to be a phenomenal role model and leader for his team. His leadership and dedication towards the goal of winning a global championship has pushed the team to accomplish many well-deserved titles in 2016.
