HEX Update – Calling All Casters

Hi HEXers! We hope you’re enjoying Throwback Draft and Sealed Deck formats. Shards of Fate tournaments are back for the next 10 days and we’re also hosting a giveaway this weekend! You only have a few days to enter and potentially win some Shards of Fate packs, so enter today.

On-Air

We need you! We’re looking for some HEXimaniacs to cast the $100,000 Invitational finals this February 20th and 21st here in Orange County, CA! This is a paid job with travel, hotel, and meals all handed by HEX Entertainment and Gameforge. We need a play-by-play, color commentator, and reporter (English language) for our Twitch broadcast. The goal here is to create an entertaining media product for new and existing players alike. The play-by-play and color commentator will be on camera celebrating each top deck and analyzing the tough plays. You’ll need a familiarity with the cards, the decks, and the tournament scene. The reporter will be creating stories, interviewing players, filling in the story as the tournament progresses, and finding scoops.

With your application, please include your:

Name

City, State, Country

HEX in-game name (if applicable)

Email address

Which position you’re applying for

A cover letter explaining why you’re interested in the position, what makes you the best candidate, and describe what you feel makes a great broadcast

A link to your work casting a tournament, Twitch broadcasts, YouTube videos, an audition with a friend uploaded to YouTube, or any other links to on-camera work you’ve done

To assist with your auditions, we’ve hosted some game footage here (Right-mouse-click; save link as). You should cast the few minutes before the match starts, the game itself, and a few minutes after the match.

Email all of that to Promotions. Thanks and good luck!

PVE Card Preview – Call in the Artillery

Untargetable? Ha! Those troops may have spellshield, but they don’t have giantbouldershield. As the game goes on and the ground is gummed up with troops, your Catapult can break open enemy lines and only becomes more powerful as the siege goes on. Blasting every opposing troop, there won’t be a single blocker left as you don’t just penetrate the opposing defense– you obliterated it. Put on the Hellshot Vest and you can pile your troops into the bucket and let it rip! Use the Prickly Ammo and and leave no one safe, not even the opposing champion. With Hellshot Catapult, your opponent won’t have a shot in hell.

IQ Winner Profile – Koma

If you were to win the HEX Invitational in February, what is it you’d do with the grand prize?

6. Go to Vegas and bet it all on black. Either that or be a boring responsible adult and put it towards my mortgage. Hmm…

Koma is the first American player to win a trip to California and play for his share of the $100,000 HEX Invitational prize money. Come meet him and watch him this February 20th and 21st on Twitch as he battles for that sweet, sweet cash.
