For personal reasons, it is necessary to release Samm ‘bigempct’ Hua from his contract with Team Blaze. His new organization made an offer that he just couldn’t refuse. Bigempct only recently came to Team Blaze and made an immediate, positive impact on our success - most recently helping us place second at Enter the Storm NA #2. His positive attitude and confident team play matched our organization perfectly.

It’s unfortunate that Team Blaze does not yet have the fiscal resources to compete with some of the sponsored teams. Until such time, Team Blaze remains the most successful, non-sponsored Heroes of the Storm team in North America. In this hyper-competitive environment, the fight for talent in the industry is incredible. Team Blaze will continue its cutting-edge and innovative game play and attract ambitious and like-thinking players.
