THL Free Agent Rundown

Welcome to the inaugural Free Agent Rundown! Much like Jim Halpert you may be wondering what the rundown actually is. Well, over the last few weeks some of our free agents-to-be have been filling out a questionnaire designed to allow them to show the league what they’re all about. What follows is a list of everyone who is looking for a team that filled out the questionnaire, in their own words with minimal editing. Players are in order of most PR to lowest PR.

Also of note:  Most submitted their PRs before the calculation change.  Some may be slightly off.  I will be updating PRs as they come in for maximum accuracy.

How long have you been playing Hearthstone:
Since MSOG, so about 1.5 years

Which league(s) are you looking to join:
Both, but I might have a team for Sylv already

Do you have any previous experience in THL? If so, when:
I subbed for the one match of Sylv this season, though I’m a member of the Department of League Administration, so I know how the league works.

Do you have any other Hearthstone accolades we should know about:
I finished 149 last season playing almost exclusively Jambre’s even warrior, and I’m angling for a higher finish this one playing “actual decks”

Anything else cool we should know about you:
I have a long history in competitive gaming. I was a trials carry streamer and tournament competitor in Destiny 1, then I moved onto Overwatch, where I peaked 4.4k (#189) and played on high level open division teams. I’m also just a huge gaming fan in general, and I recently beat Watch Dogs 2 and Hitman as well as picked up an awesome board game called Twilight Struggle. Outside of games, I’m a college student pursuing a degree in computer science, and I currently work remotely creating a system for indexing educational content using Microsoft’s video indexer.
