Chakki Leaves Competitive Hearthstone and Joins the Final Design Team at Blizzard
Tempo Storm's Hearthstone Coach, Keaton "Chakki" Gill, has left the team to pursue a final design team opportunity at Blizzard.
Chakki got his start in competitive Hearthstone back in 2014 playing under the ManaGrind banner and later joining teams such as Dignitas and Luminosity. Most recently, Chakki participated in the HCT Toronto event and took 9th place in the tournament. Over the years he has remained consistently at the top placements at events and has been an outspoken member of the community when it comes to game balance and building great decks. His meme game has also been extremely on point and that better not change.
Do the community proud, Chakki! You can read Tempo Storm's statement here.
Quote from ChakkiStarting next month, I'll be working at Blizzard as a game designer on the Hearthstone final design team. Hearthstone has been a huge part of my life for the past few years, and I couldn't be more excited to be a part of the team.
Fuck this asshole. Playing at rank 19 probably just to farm gold. Hope you get fired.
gg no re
Blizzard you should hire Kripparrian.
Kappa
Why would they hire him
Why not? He's been a pro player since beta. He played the game and managed to be on top of it. I don't see why not quite frankly.
His fan base is too cancer
Show me a streamer without a bunch of muppets acting up on their twitch stream...
I mean his youtube channel all those kripparino guys need to get a life.
goodluck
great... more aggro.
I like this approach of Blizzard. Hire the one who actually plays the game as his job
Wow, congrats! That's a dream job to most of us and even more so for him.
Should be interesting to hear his thoughts when he learns just how much more difficult it is to design a game than it is to find the flaws in a game.
Good cards inbound..
Good luck to Chakki. I like this game and I think he can make it better.
This comment section is Hearthpwn incarnate. Take this statement as you wish.
Agreed.
This statement is ridiculous
get ready for new kind of patches cards lul
Yes, because one aggro-loving guy in the team BANISHES ALL CONTROL DECKS INTO OBLIVION!
Right?
