THL Hall of Fame: Pro Series (1st Class)

The following process and criteria was used to identify HoF Inductees:
To be considered eligible, one must have participated for at least 5 seasons in Legacy Series as either a player, a captain, or a consistent contributor to THL operations or content.

A selection committee of 9 community members was formed, and the community as a whole submitted nominations to be considered. Guidelines for selection include but are not limited to:

• A distinguished record of competitive achievement during Series play, with consideration given to win/loss record, game record, postseason play, All Star selections, and season awards earned. Consideration was also given to integrity, sportsmanship, and character.
• A distinguished record of competitive team achievement as a captain during Series play, with consideration given to win/loss record, number of playoff appearances, division titles won, championships won, and captain awards earned. Consideration was again also given to integrity, sportsmanship, and character.
• Exceptional contributions that have furthered the growth, reputation, and character of the organization, in categories such as administration, content creation, and casting.

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.
