Firebat Wins The Hearthstone World Championship And $100,000!

by Stephen Stewart - 6 years ago

With what can only be summarized as a dominating and forceful style of play, the very first Hearthstone World Champion was crowned in James “Firebat” Kostesich. Touted as the newest member of Amaz’s brand-new team, Archon, this Detroit, Michigan native came into BlizzCon as one of the higher ranked hopefuls to win the whole thing. He was previously known mostly for his dominating ladder play, but one can only assume that the tournament invitations will be quite forthcoming from here on out. Below you’ll find the official Blizzard announcement.

Congratulations, Firebat! Tell your parents it’s definitely not a scam and if they still don’t believe you, show ’em the VOD!
