Moops and Sashin have been the heart and soul of the team since the signing of Morton’s List and was a major contributing factor towards our partnership with the team. Under their guidance, the team was able steadily rise from a 3rd place finish in season 2, 2nd place finish in season 3, to finally fulfill their year long goal of winning the season 4 LAN final in Sydney. Crowned as the best in the region, the team earned the sole ANZ qualifying spot to compete at BlizzCon 2017.

After much thought, I have come to the difficult conclusion to step down from the active roster of the ViewSonic Dark Sided Heroes of the Storm team. Over the last year the success we’ve managed to achieve as a team has been nothing short of incredible. The cinderella story that was the Dark Sided HotS team will forever go down as some of the best moments in my life.

When we first signed with DS, I promised them that we’d represent them at an international event and I wouldn’t stop until we achieved it. It’s no secret that these results didn’t come immediately, but I cannot be more grateful to DS for the unwavering trust and support through all the highs and the lows, and I’m proud to finally be able to say say that we managed to fulfil that promise and go from Pleb2Pro™. Now that the 2017 HGC has come to a close, I believe it is the perfect time for me to end this chapter of my life and start a new one.

For the future, I’ve decided to take a step back from HotS to pursue other opportunities within esports. My hunger to conquer new challenges has led me on a different path to that of my teammates and as difficult as parting with what was a year long project is for me, continuing down this path without my full efforts would be unfair on my teammates.

A huge thank you to everyone who has supported me throughout our rise this last year, none of our success would have been achievable without you. It has been a roller coaster of a year and I have met some truly inspirational people along the way. While I may no longer be a the captain of your favourite HotS team, I hope you will continue to support my future venture in esports. Stay tuned O.O (eyes emoji).
