Competitive HOTS and resolution

Hey guys, Zergling here. You can recognize me from Grandmaster level streams in HL, from the melee flex player from King's Gambit that lost in Game 7 vs No Tomorrow, or from people an active player in many HOTS streams. I have played since beta in this game and this open phase is the first phase that I actually tried to be competitive in this game.



I went through a few teams that didn't fit me till I came across King's Gambit that I turned around, with my partner in crime Diesel. I turned a team that wasn't relevant, 13th spot into securing 7th seed in Open Playoffs and off to win Playoffs with a 4-0 sweep. I put in a lot of work into the team in terms of shotcalling/drafting/rotations/mock drafts/preplanning. Unfortunate that King's Gambit was unable to close out the series vs NT and I reached out for tryouts. I got a few offers and tried out with multiple teams. I ended up on a team. I made it, I was ecstatic. My hard work I put in payed off! I was going to prove myself in the scene.



Turns out the worse can happen to some people who try the hardest. I won't mention any names or organizations involved, but some people felt I didn't deserve to be in HGC over other tryouts. They had grudges towards me and started rumors and accusations of who I am as a person and as a player. The organization that verbally welcomed me and agreed to have me on their team doesn't like drama. They knew I was innocent. I had a lot of people support me, but in the end it didn't matter. They didn't want to deal with this drama cause of one's word against mine and didn't want to have people question the organization. I've never felt so framed in my life of what I represent and who I am as a person. The disgusting acts of a few people in the competitive heroes scene that would do such things as to target me to not want me on a HGC roster is beyond me. Leaves a sour taste in my mouth.



I got shafted. I made it and then taken away too quickly. I opened a Christmas present with no present inside. All I have to say, is this isn't going to stop me. There is some people in the competitive HOTS scene that don't deserve to be involved or have an impact. It's unprofessional and opened my eyes to the shady people that gives the name NA deserves, NA LUL.



I just want to play the game and prove myself as a player. This only gives me more drive to prove to these people that I deserve a spot in a scene and they won't hold me back. This only makes me want HGC that much more. I want to thank everyone that helped me on shape me as a player that I am today and expect to see more of me of the future.
