THL Hall of Fame - 6th Class
Yellowdart - 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)

THL Hall of Fame - 3rd Class
Sage - This is a man who needs no introduction because he’s either the reason you joined THL or he’s already slid into your DMs to recruit you for SOMETHING. Behind the lighthearted discord activity and THL’s freshest memes is a face and name that should strike terror in your heart if you ever had the displeasure of playing against his team. Early legends foretell of a beast whose beard will woo you and whose :pinkGuyDance: will shriek of glorious victory. Boasting a score of 77-43 (64.27%) and two Ragnaros League Championships in his first two seasons, Sage was destined for the Hall of Fame out of the gate. As it stands, Sage developed two of the top three lifetime “win rate %” players (with at least three seasons played) and has assembled some of the best teams that THL has ever seen. Others took notice, and if you traced the captainship tendencies today in Season 10, you’d get Ancestry results that lead right back to senpai Sage. With all that said, despite outstanding competitive results, you’ll be hard pressed to find someone more genuine and humble; truly his success is the fruit of his passion and empathy, two things that I am grateful to have experienced first hand and that THL is enshrining in his Hall of Fame induction.

THL Hall of Fame - Inaugural Inductees
Mainge - The man. The myth. The legend. The Subreddit. There is exactly one captain on this list, and that’s the most successful captain in THL’s history; he’s the only eligible captain with an over 60% win-rate, and that’s with almost 300 matches. That number includes the single best season any THL team has ever had, and anyone who played against Team Rank 5 in season 4 will tell you how terrifying that team was: a 77.55% winrate in a season is beyond insane. While he was no slouch as a player, if you know Mainge beyond Team Rank 5, you will probably know him for his incredibly prolific and vital League contributions. You might be thinking of his role on Tavern Talk, or maybe you’re thinking of him as part of the THL Power Rankings. Maybe you’re thinking of late nights on Discord hanging out with the squad and playing HotS. You might be remembering him as a prominent voice of the Board and a face of the League, on the Facebook group or on streams. You may remember his casting or maybe you remember him creating one of the best THL memes in history as the recipient of a low-roller against a ⅛ Ragnaros shot. But most importantly, you should probably take notice that 3 of the 4 players being inducted have played on Mainge’s teams: this is a great person that elevates the greatness of others.
