Opinion: Blizzard pulls plug on HGC, killing more than just Heroes esports
It’s been five days since Activision-Blizzard made the announcement that the Heroes of the Storm Global Championship (HGC) circuit would be discontinued and developers from the title moved to other, unannounced projects. Although “announcement” is too generous a word. Maybe “slap-in-the-face” is more appropriate considering the disingenuous manner the message was delivered, via an unfeeling press release. The content of the statement itself felt more corporate than personable. To many, it was insulting.

Hearthstone Balance Patch Hits Key Cards
Christmas came early for fans of Blizzard Entertainment's Hearthstone as the team released a blog post in the middle of the night that outlined numerous upcoming balance changes that are slated to go live later today.

[Interview] The Former SKT T1 Support, Wolf, Talks about When He Thinks He Should Retire
The runtime of pro gamers for League of Legends is fairly short. It may be different for each player, but in general, they tend to think of retiring once their age goes past their mid 20's. Of course, there are players who still continue to show top performance even after. However, the majority of players choose to end their pro gaming life or change their path to that of a mentor once they reach that age. It often feels like time passes in the blink of an eye, and before we know it, we stand at the end of our run. When a pro player decides to accept that end, it can seem almost cruel, as they usually have to admit that they are not as good as they used to be. It can be especially hard on esports players; although it is called retirement, the majority of them are still quite young when they make that decision.
