Bearing that in mind, the time has come to present to you our fourth class of Legacy Series Inductees: Player: Liquidox: It was a random set of circumstances that led to LiquidOx being the force to be reckoned you see before you, but here we are. I had just logged into HS on my phone to play a few games before university and to do my NA daily quests; due to the time differences this usually meant a fairly long queue time, but on this occasion I matched up pretty quickly with a player called LiquidOx. I don’t remember the game at all, but it must have been a pretty cool one as he added me after and we wound up having a chat. We realised we were both British players (he is Scottish but I’m claiming him) playing on the NA server, and he told me he had just started streaming as a long time Slysssa sub who had been recommended by her to just give it a go. We swapped socials as he had mentioned he wanted to give HS much more of a try, and I had mentioned THL as a great way of doing that, though we were mid-season at the time so he would have had to wait before recruitment started. As it happened, I would have to duck out mid-season by chance, so I recommended this Ox character to the rest of the team on F2L (née FTL), and they got him on board. The rest, as they say, is history. From a kid who had a bit of a problem with just chucking out cards to see what would happen, streaming to a handful of viewers on a poky little webcam, to pulling in a hundred+ streaming high legend, captain of Hype Horizen and one of the most decorated players in Pro history (3 championships in 5 seasons, with what could well be a fourth on the way looking at this season), the improvement in not just his play, but his mentality has been astounding to watch. He always was a fantastic person to have on a team; no-one can lighten team morale like a notorious memer, but maintaining a 60% winrate across 6 seasons, with what I would put money on being the highest rollover rate week by week of any one player, shows the sheer unbridled talent of this player. He may not be the hardest prepper, but at the end of the day he doesn’t really need to be, he is just that good, and he truly deserves to be in the HOF. -rebobson

Bearing that in mind, the time has come to present to you our fourth class of Legacy Series Inductees: Players: Itachi Itachi joined THL in late 2017. Durden and I had just started a new team and Itachi was interested in joining. We decided to hold a scrim where Itachi and I teamed up against Durden and another prospective player, smileykris, in a Best of 5. Itachi and I promptly lost all 3 games. But I could tell that Itachi was a strong player, and Durden and I decided to sign him to Project Mayhem. Mayhem never won a title, but Itachi has gone on since then to win 5 total championships in THL - at the time of this writing, the most of anyone in THL. Itachi has championships with 4th and Inches in Legacy Season 14, The Cult is Hero Season 9, F2L in Wild Season 1, and FTL in Pro Seasons 1 and 2. And he’s done it all by being an excellent supportive teammate - always around to give advice on lineups, hop in voice to practice, or just co-op. Itachi is truly deserving of being in the THL Hall of Fame. -Markshire Itachi has been a staple of THL for as long as I have been around. Any time I see him on a team I know to take note of them and be wary. Itachi is not just a stellar player, but teammate as well! His participation within his teams is unparalleled. Offering lineup advice and practicing every week with his team is the norm for a player with such high standards as Itachi. So you too should be wary of any team he is playing on. His 5 championship titles reflects this intense motivation to succeed and it is in honor of his achievements that he is being inducted to the Hall of Fame. -Sage Ghost Ghost with out a single doubt in my mind has been one of if not the most integral players on every single team he's played on. When he started out in THL I knew he was going to kill it every time he played. From the sheer amount of prep he put in week in and week out every single season, there was never a chance that he wouldn't do everything he could to win every single week. Seeing him grow as a hearthstone player both in and out of THL has truly been remarkable to see, and I'm glad he's finally getting the recognition he deserves for carrying prep every single season. Ly Ghost Ghost and congrats on HOF -Boozasaurus RonMexico me go face? YUP. me play priest? NOPE. what a motto to live by. a motto that only the few that truly devote their play style in the name of rexxar can claim. Some would say they have fallen so much into the hunter way of life they have fallen into the path of the demon hunter. Who is this person you may ask? well i will give you a hint. they claim to wear a hat but they never do, they are the most kind hearted person in real life but a pure savage on the hearthstone battlefield (no not battleground they are not that good there). thats right i am talking about RONTUNA erm i mean BrushyMexico umm i meant RONMEXICO!!!!!!!! feared by all opponents season after season in the legacy world of THL. consistently crushing their competition beneath their bow! Ronmexico has consistently shown THL what it is like to be a top performer in legacy so lets all congratulate him or boo him (live your life i can't tell you what to do) as we WELCOME HIM TO THE THL HALL OF FAME. congrats Ron you deserved this and i wish you all the best in future seasons to come. continue playing hunter classes and ignoring that priest all the way to the top!!! -Brushytuna I remember the day I met RonMexico. Fuel suggested he join my newly formed pro team, The Unknown. Ron was a go getter from the beginning, never missing a stride. His devotion to the team was unlike any other person I've met in the THL. I knew he was a great fit from the beginning and I had a feeling he was destined for greatness in our organization. On top of all his stellar game player and teammanship, he delved into content. He took a struggling Around the Saloon and turned it into one of THLs best shows. He rarely turned down opportunities in content was always a go to guy who you rely on not only doing shows, but casting matches, tournaments, offering written content in PotW, and being an active member in our discord. Without Ron content would not be the same and not be in such a great place that it is in now. Ron is also a great friend of mine. He was always someone I could bounce ideas off of and the late night discord calls with Tuna were extremely memorable. One thing is for sure, he isn't a HoFer for his BG plays. His love the game and this organization is what makes his great along with his amazing and great hearthstone game. Ron congratulations!!! -Dusharmo Contributor: BrushyTuna BrushyTuna? Are you kidding me? No way this is right, did someone make a mistake? No? Alright everyone, pack it up, Hall of Fame is ruined now, they’re letting anyone in. Jokes aside though, I am so thrilled to see you added to THL’s Hall of Fame. It’s tough to name anyone who has brought more excitement, more positivity, and more straight up HYPE to THL you. You have had a massive influence on content for THL and in making all of our lives a bit brighter and more fun. From participating in weekly match shows, to community events, to casting a tournament all day long with me until our brains malfunctioned (is that the right word? It sort of implies our brains were in working order to begin with, which uh… yea, nevermind), you have been a great example of why we do what we do. I think a community like THL brings out the best in us, and that wouldn’t happen without you. Stay awesome buds! We may now resume our regularly scheduled roasting of each other until the end of time -Ronmexico BrushyTuna. The day I met him was the same day I met Ron. I was asking for players for my newly formed Unknown Pro team and he was one of the first to ask you join. I saw this man and noticed he was a 5 seed in another series and figured he would be a work in progress. Boy was I wrong. This guy could play. He ended up MVP of Pro Series a few seasons later. I always joked 5 seed on legacy, 1 seed in Pro. Tuna not only was an excellent hearthstone player but also delved into content. He was Ron's right hand man. Always offering great content and the banter between the two was as good as the games themselves. He, much like Ron, helped pushed THL in a newer better era of good content and great personalities. On top of all of this Tuna became a great friend to me. Him and Ron would hang out on discord late into the nights and I would often join them. When I was having a tough day, I would enjoy a night of Tuna bashing Ron's BG plays. I have never laughed so hard in my life. He will always be a great friend to me. Congratulations Tuna, we love you and miss you. -Dusharmo *This was the class of August 2020*

Bearing that in mind, the time has come to present to you our fourth class of Legacy Series Inductees: Players: the_bigted (for hero) The_bigted and THL’s hero series have been almost synonymous for nearly his entire THL career. Ted burst onto the scene in season 7, racing to a rookie of the season and MVP award. Not satisfied with these accolades, he followed up with more strong performances and raised the series championship in season 9 with his teammates from The Cult. Ted has maintained a 59.32% winrate over his 6 seasons in the hero series, no surprise given his consistent dedication. His outstanding play alongside his efforts in content production for hero have given him the nickname “Unofficial Hero Series Commissioner.” True to form, the_bigted continues to set the pace for everyone else, as he is only the second person to be inducted into the hero series hall of fame as a player. With no further ado, it is my absolute pleasure to officially welcome the unofficial hero commissioner into the Hall of Fame. Congratulations again, the_bigted! We are all fortunate to know you and have you continuing to make THL such an amazing place! -RonMexico Captains: Yellowdart (for hero) As the first captain inducted into the Hero series Hall of Fame, I can't think of a more deserving person than Yellowdart. Not only is he the longest tenured captain with 9 full seasons leading Dad Legend, the team win rate of 55% is higher than any other captain with at least 4 seasons on record. That level of consistent performance is incredible, and only begins to tell the story of Yellowdart's value as a captain. Dart is an outgoing, down-to-earth leader that focuses on making sure everyone on his team is comfortable and prepared. He empowers his players to make thoughtful decisions and encourages teamwork and collaboration. His friendly demeanor underlies his dedication to his teammates, always having their back when needed and quickly resolving any issues without alienating anyone involved. His emphasis on positive thinking and trusting his team is readily apparent and greatly appreciated by everyone who's played for him. After Dad Legend captured their first THL championship in season 11, it was only a matter of time before the committee gave an all-bulldog vote to Yellowdart, confirming what all of his players already knew, that he is a true Hall of Famer.(edited) -icicles Contributors There were no Contributors inducted for this class. *This was the class of August 2020*

Bearing that in mind, the time has come to present to you our fourth class of Legacy Series Inductees: Players: memyselfandi (for legacy) As a member of the Hall of Fame committee, it is my privilege and pleasure to induct MemyselfandI aka MMI into the THL Hall of Fame. I got my start in THL back in Season 5 of Legacy with MMI, and he has always been an overachiever. MMI tried harder than anyone else I've ever played with to not just win his own matches, but help everyone else win theirs as well. MMI was a longtime staple of Hearthstone Academy, and helped carry the team to 2 Championships as well as coached from the bench during the seasons he didn't play. It is because of his sporadic seasonal appearances that it has taken him so long to get his fifth season and meet the requirements for nomination. About every other season someone on the HoF committee would inquire about why he hadn't been nominated yet, forgetting MMI only had 4 seasons played. Well he finally came back and got his fifth season under his belt, and now sits at a phenomenal 71.15% winrate. MMI's standards for success are unparalleled in THL, and he will live on as a legend in the Hall of Fame for his efforts. MMI has no future plans to play again as of my writing this so MMI I just want you to know I wish you the best of luck in all your future endeavors and congrats again on all you have accomplished in THL! Love you bro ~Sage Aviously (for legacy) "Avi has an exceptional 64.71% lifetime winrate without a single championship, but this fact struggles to fully encapsulate the greatness of his genius and care. When I first met him in college, I could tell even from a distance that he put thought into everything that he did. After learning how quickly he gained a reputation from the older students in our college's HS scene, I soon set my sights trying to beat him, and it took becoming his teammate for Tespa to realize that the thought and care he strived to put into his decks was also thoroughly put into everyone lucky enough to call him a friend. For many, including myself, Aviously is the reason for their introduction into THL and the HS community at large, and for many more, he is the catalyst for fantastic growth as both players and people. I think the most important growth I managed in my 7+-year hearthstone career came during the time when I strived to be his equal, something he already said I was. It took me a long time to realize, but what makes him the best wasn't just how good he did, but how he was able to make everyone around him better and better himself simultaneously. Avi is adaptive, innovative, hilarious, personable, respectful, and dedicated to whatever he puts his mind to. I can't think of a better person to deserve this honor. Thanks for everything, buddy. Keep crushing the competition." -A2 Captains There were no Captains inducted for this class. Contributors There were no Contributors inducted for this class. |
