Qualche giorno fa avevamo comunicato che gli Alliance, celebre e blasonata realtà eSportiva di Dota2, aveva deciso di investire nel competitivo di Hearthstone.
Oggi viene annunciata la prima grande notizia di questa nuova era per la squadra di Alex Garfield: Jon Orange Westberg è entrato ufficialmente a far parte degli Alliance ed è il primo vero giocatore della Locanda ad essere stato messo sotto contratto dalla squadra svedese.

Soddisfatto Erik Barge, Generale Manager degli Alliance, che parla cosi dell’accordo raggiunto con il giocatore:

I’ve had my eye on Jon for quite a while now, even before he took first place in ESL Katowice one and a half year ago, and I’ve always been impressed with both his technique and professional mentality toward the game. In addition he’s also one of the most consistent players which, in a game like Hearthstone, is far more impressive than a single first place victory. I believe Jon is a perfect fit in Alliance and I’m very happy to have him represent the Alliance brand as our first Hearthstone player.

Eccitato e voglioso di fare da subito bene anche Orange che ai microfoni di Alliance afferma:

I couldn’t be happier to announce that I will be a part of Alliance. It’s truly an honor that Alliance have chosen me to start up their Hearthstone division and I am giving my all to make sure they won’t regret the decision. So far the interactions I’ve had with everyone on the team have been amazing and I immediately recognize what people mean when they talk about the “Alliance-family”. For me this means that I will be able to focus on playing competitive Hearthstone and focus on my true love and passion. For you reading this it means that I will be able to stream more consistently and also I will start uploading vlogs of the events I go to together with the launch of a brand new YouYube-channel. I couldn’t be more excited to start this new journey with Alliance and get to know everyone on the team as well as all the fans.

Non ci resta che aspettare ulteriori informazioni su quelli che saranno gli altri colpi all’interno del “mercato” di Hearthstone dell’anno!
