I'm 31 years old. My online gaming experience, and first contact with professional and competitive gaming, came with Soldier Of Fortune 2. That competitive side was very important throughout my years playing video games, often very actively. With age however, came real life responsibilities. The games I played slowly died down, and I couldn't find another game to satisfy my need-to-rank-up personality.For the last four years I have been watching esports grow. I've watched League, I've watched big dota 2 tournaments (even though all the heroes remain a mystery) and have been an avid supporter of all things Counterstrike. It is amazing how far esports have become, and I am very curious to see how it further develops. I love how hundreds of talented young people can now pursue a career as a professional player.I don't remember exactly how I got into contact with Heroes of The Storm. It was somewhere last year. I do know why I returned to watch more of this game, it was the HGC. Heroes of The Storm has many advantages over its MOBA friends. The games are more action packed by reducing the laning phase to grind gold to buy items. There is more than one map, so there are several compositions that work on every one of them, rather than just two on one map. By largely reducing the laning phase, there is a lot more action. The game is younger, so the scene is still developing, which makes it slightly easier as a new player. HGC is a really fun league to watch, and I can't wait for the Mid Season Brawl next week!It is that development that really speaks to me. I feel, naive as it is, that I can still make a difference, still become a good player. I have never been this eager to become a GM in HL, find a team and play competitive in Heroes Lounge, the HGC Open Cups and the Go4HoTS series. This game has me feeling like my 14 year old self again. I anxiously wait for Grubby to go live every evening, because I know I'll learn more about the game.Thank you for that, Blizzard. Your game is now the only game I play very regularly. I have paid a lot of money for the newer games (BF1, H1Z1, PUBG...) but your free game is the one I want to play, and become good at. You're doing something right.With that in mind, I have decided to pick up streaming. Comment the road I'm taking to become the best I can be in this game. Become a name people recognize when they're talking about you. Basically, be a tryhard with sub 200 games in Quick Match under my belt. It's the perfect time as well, as I have two weeks off work with not a whole lot planned. I can start streaming on a set daily schedule for two weeks and see where I'm at. I look forward to meeting like minded people and hope they can give me tips and tricks as I grind through Hero League.You can follow me on Twitter and Twitch
