#6 Nurok (Flex, Team Liquid)

#3 Jschritte (Primary Ranged, Spacestation Gaming)

Twitter is a great place to get news, share your thoughts, and see a cat trying to dig its way out of a snowbank. It also happens to be the best way to connect with your favorite HGC players. I've spoken before about the need for the HGC to highlight its players more as humans with interesting personalities and stories to tell. To that end, I want to highlight some of the players who are really taking advantage of Twitter and building their personal brand. These are the seven HGC pros you should be following on Twitter.Quick note: This list will only include active HGC players from NA and EU. So, if you jump on Reddit and tell me about how I'm an idiot for not putting Khaldor on the list, then everyone will know that you didn't read this disclaimer, and they'll all point and laugh at you. Now who's the dumb one! Ha!If you haven't gathered from all the video content Blizzard has done, Mene is among the biggest personalities in the game. His Twitter provides great post-game thoughts, as well as plenty of trolling of other HOTS personalities. Now that he's joined forces with the troll power that is Fnatic, Mene's Twitter should be quite an interesting sight to behold this season.Nurok has been killing it with his Twitter lately. Great insights and opinions surrounding the matchmaking issues, pictures from the HGC summit, with some levity sprinkled in. I feel like, of the veteran elite in Europe, Nurok doesn't quite get the star-level status of some of his peers. However, he's making great use of the platform and deserves to see his stock as a personality in the scene continue to rise.Have you ever wanted to experience the literal personification of a chill vibe? Follow Khroen. Not only do you get selfies of the best hair in the league (#moarface) but the vast majority of his tweets are just...pleasant. Twitter is often primarily utilized for voicing complaints, especially when there's a problem with the game. Having Khroen in your feed just sort of balances everything out. Plus, his little anime avatar is outstanding.Cris is proof that you don't have to be on the most high profile teams to grow your brand. Even during his time on Diamond Skin fighting to avoid relegation, Cris has remained one of the biggest streamers in the scene, and a great Twitter follow. I mean, his avatar is Carbot Chromie....with a santa hat! Every tweet he composes carries an extra dose of joy because you get to see that hyperactive little ball of Christmas joy. You get some of the trademark Cris salt, but he's also got a strong gif game and is highly active.Having not followed the minor regions at all (I cover a bunch of games, only have so much time, don't yell at me) I only knew Jschritte as a name the casters sometimes brought up. Now that he's been picked up by an NA team and has become an absolute stud on Twitter, I have quickly fallen in love with this dude. He's essentially my inspirational quotes follow. Dude literally gave up everything just for a shot at trying out for an HGC team. He fought to achieve his dream, and is so hungry to keep climbing. I want to follow every second of that journey. Besides, he loves trolling Equinox, and that's just a ton of fun. #BeamonsterSo, full disclosure, McIntyre gets on this list due in large part to having one of the cutest dogs that's ever lived. That said, he's a great follow in his own right. Not only is he just a prolific tweeter, but he's become quite the blogger for HeroesHearth. His articles are really solid, providing a ton of insight into the game and his thoughts on how to grow as a player. Funny, insightful, dog--pretty much an ideal Twitter.Most of you reading this already follow Quack, but he deserves to be on this list regardless. Never mind the fact that he wrote the greatest twitlonger in the history of HOTS, Quackniix is the quintessential HGC star--funny, charming, great insight, and active. Many players were left off this list because they didn't need the boost to their personal brand, but Quackniix simply deserves credit for what he brings to the scene. If you're somehow not already following Fnatic's captain, go fix that immediately.It goes without saying, but this is my personal list based on who I follow, and who I felt deserved some more spotlight shone on their personal brand. Who got left off that deserves a shoutout? Who's your favorite HOTS pro to follow? What makes them deserve a spot on this list? Let me know, and maybe I'll do another community-generated list in the future!
