Quote from BlizzardLord of the Scourge raises an army of professional gamers!
ICECROWN, Northrend – July 13, 2017 - The Lich King, master of the undead Scourge™, Lord of Icecrown Citadel™ and Northrend, and wielder of the cursed, soul-devouring runeblade Frostmourne™ is now focusing his cold, dead gaze on Hearthstone. Today he officially announced the creation of a new, global Hearthstone esports organization entitled The Frozen Pwn®.
“Effective immediately, the organization previously known as Tempo Storm will have fallen permanently under my control. I knew a team with a name that spoke of such power must surely be a force to be reckoned with—so I conquered it.” said the Lich King, CEO, CFO, Director of Communications, owner, and uncontested overlord of The Frozen Pwn and immortal conqueror of the mortal team Tempo Storm. “I then looked up “utter domination” on your Internet circa 2005 and found the mighty vowel-less word PWN. It was the perfect term for a team that will annihilate all those who stand against me.” From this auspicious beginning, the shift from Tempo Storm to The Frozen Pwn was born.
The Lich King promises to forge a team the likes of which this pathetic mortal world has never seen. The key will be a unique process that includes raising players from the dead as evil, soulless Death Knights. “Your typical esports mortal must eat, sleep, and have relationships. My players will no longer be concerned with such petty human foibles as rest, nourishment, or happiness. They will practice through the passing of the sun and moon, every day, with unstoppable determination. In the future ALL livestreams will be 24 hour. . . deadstreams.” The organization also boasts a lean and agile financial profile, conserving costs that would normally be applied to salaries, living quarters, and the molten food parcels and caffeinated syrup water that mewling living whelps seem to crave. The Frozen Pwn has not yet played a match but it is already the most powerful esports organization in the world*.
The new team has already attracted the financial backing of several prominent sponsors, and The Frozen Pwn is proud to receive support from purveyors of mortal trinkets, foodstuffs, and other paltry material concerns the living apparently concern themselves with: Kaza-kola Energy Potion, IceCream Citadel™, The Gadgetzan Emporium, The Gadgetzan Mega Market, Tuskarr Bros. Famous Funnel Cake Factory, Mysterious Flatbread Inc., Barnes & Baron Tomes, H.G. Doyle Expeditions Inc., and Malone’s Original Floor Polish. Hand-crafted soul-devouring keyboards and mice will be provided by The Runeforge™. O.G. Whisper® headsets will be provided by Y.O.G. Corp.

About The Lich King – A pioneer among Death Knights, The Lich King is based out of northwest Northrend. After a long, successful career as an implacable undead overlord who was definitely *not* defeated by a handful of uppity mortals, The Lich King is now turning his considerable talents to social media, frozen desserts, pet grooming, game development, streaming, multimedia entertainment, gaming peripherals, hospitality, and esports.

Quote from @PlayHearthstoneAccursed @bdbrode! Job experience is for fools. I will align my efforts with whom I hear is the TRUE creator of Hearthstone!
I love how they put a trademark over Frostmourne.
Wow maybe this is the only way the team tempostorm members will be able to finally win a tournament.
Excellent.
I'll be naming an aggro deck in the next expansion 'Caffinated Syrup Water.'
PLEASE, PUT ME INTO THIS TEAM, I NEED IT!!
i think they meant in game
Chill mate, this is just for those people that enjoy a bit of fun. They are likely keeping the stuff in game more serious but they decided to mix it up with the stuff that you're free to just ignore. You don't have to pay attention to this part if you don't want to.
What's® with™ all those© trademarks and ($$] copyrights 42¢¥12trt%?
New meta ? ^^
"conserving costs that would normally be applied to salaries, living quarters, and the molten food parcels and caffeinated syrup water that mewling living whelps seem to crave. " LOL this, no food RIP Eloise...
Lich King ain't no joke! LUL
In before salt king reynad skin Kappa .
You'd think the Lich KIng would surround himelf with more capable minions.
DK Reynoodle in-game skin HYPE!
Hearthpwn didn't copy the small print from the blizzard announcement. It's great.
"Reynad is not actually a Death Knight (though he does in fact hate the living)."
Pure gold.
"Forward-looking statements may prove to be untrue, especially since The Lich King is a fictional character"
N1. GJ Blizzard.
Is this just a lengthy joke? Somewhat amusing text, but seems like they put a lot of effort into this for basically nothing. Or is there actually some significance here that I'm missing?
It's guerrilla advertising, extremely cheap to pull off (Blizzard probably had a Lich King cosplay kicking around in a broom closet somewhere) but shares/retweets, etc are more valuable than old advertising now. A KotFT commercial on TV wouldn't reach the target audience for HS.
Just a commercial
I 'spose they meant in-game lich king.
