Whether it be on Twitch chat during our Open Games, Twitter, or even from the mouth of @_halorin himself, I see the question often: Who is ishb00? My hope with this and future blogs is to answer that question and more, so let's get started on that.To get a few basic questions out of the way:: Chris "ishb00" Martin (before you ask, I do not actually listen to Coldplay though I am more than happy to sing on request as my team has found out on multiple occasions): I am the Main Tank and Shotcaller for HeroesHearth Esports as it says in the title: I have played around the Amateur HotS scene for roughly 1.5-2 years now, always as a main tank. Notable teams I've played with are THC with Justing, Buds, and HaoNguyen, I was briefly captain of Team Blaze after its rebuilding period, and most recently I played on LFM with BBJ the prior open season where we just came up short of getting in to the crucible. I also played in the 2016 and 2017 Heroes of the Dorm tournaments as the captain of Cornell University's team (We made it to round of 64 both years.)Yes, but it still hurts a little. Interview for reference)well...I've been looking for a way to give back the HotS community for a while now. Unfortunately for me, streaming is not my forte, so I'd rather leave that to the rest of my teammates who enjoy dank memes more than me. Instead I'd rather focus on sharing some of the knowledge I've gained in order to help you guys play better, play smarter, and just generally enjoy the game more.My current plan is to start a couple series of blogs here aimed at helping players of all skill levels to improve. I have 3 in mind that I've already started working on and will try and release on a consistent basis, them being:: Maps in this game can be difficult to learn, and often there's no real consensus on how a map should be played to begin with. I'd like to use this series to dive in-depth into the workings of each map with map specific tier-lists, strategies, and general insight that I can bring as a competitive shotcaller.: While tanks often are not difficult to play mechanically, they make up for that difficulty and more in decision making and positioning, making it one of the hardest to understand roles in the game. In this series, I'd like to go over positioning, ability usage, and comp specific playstyles to help clarify what I look for as a tank player.Ok, so I don't have a clever name for this one and technically haven't started working on it due to its nature, but this content is ultimately for you guys so I want to provide the information y'all want to here (Yes, I'm in the South, we use y'all here.) Hit me up with questions in comments or on Twitter and I'll try my best to get back to you guys in a timely, and hopefully entertaining, fashion.Speaking of Twitter, you can follow me at @ishboo116 for content updates and pictures of my dog (I just started using this so sorry for the lack of content up there already.)As for content you can look at now:I've released a bunch of my main tank buildsAnd have released 2 separate tank tier lists:AKA what tanks I think are best for climbing the ladder right now.This one's for those of you who watch HGC and wonder "Why the heck are they picking that?!?! _____ is totally op right now, how could they have ignored _____?!?!"And... that's it for now. Hope I haven't bored y'all too much with all this writing. I'll be working on my own content for now, but I'm always up for questions if you have them, so go ahead and shoot.Thank you and have a nice day,ishb00
