Yong Woo Leaves Blizzard - Joins Ben Brode at Second Dinner
Yong Woo, Hearthstone's Production Director, has left the company. He joins Ben Brode and Hamilton Chu at the new Second Dinner game studio.
Another two Hearthstone employees quit in recent time, Michael Schweitzer and Jomaro Kindred, who are also at the studio. There are now five ex-Hearthstone team members working at Second Dinner.
Quote from Yong WooAfter 9 epic years at Blizzard, I am embarking on a new adventure. Thank you for your love and support over the years. I'm super excited to join @seconddinner to build something new & amazing together!
Quote from Second DinnerThe team is growing! Say hi to our newest teammates!
@KindredConcepts@ywoo_dev@mfschweitzer
I don't think Hearthstone will last too much longer with FIVE team members leaving to create a new studio. Either that or it will become a far better and more generous game, but I think it will be the former.
You hear him laugh again and it's like everything is okay in the world.
this is not hearthstone new anymore though
best choice he ever made
i congratulate you, mr. woo
hearthstone turned to shit since kobolds anyway
Chakki joins the team. Several veterans leave the team. I am just leaving that thought here ^^ .
------> Yong J0o!
I am detecting also the downvote is form the salty dipshit i multi-quoted that did not pass basic Chemistry to detect sarcasm.
I don't understand the salt!
Best case scenario: these guys make another wonderful game like Slay the Spire to compete with Hearthstone. Worst case scenario: nothing changes. Where's the risk here?
Will Second Dinner also take Borat who makes the innkeeper announcements?
Non-compete agreements are unenforceable in California, where both Blizzard and Second Dinner are located. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-compete_clause#California
It's interesting reading through some of these comments. People simultaneously crap on Hearthstone while being excited for an unknown project from the people who.. worked on/ made Hearthstone? It's odd. Hearthstone is in amazing spot right now. Some of you need to just move on if you are so unhappy.
Wall druid can sometimes lock in games on T3, Zoo can lock in games on T1, Hench-Clan Thug is beyond OP (Priest has no ways to efficiently deal with this card, it single handedly win games a lot of the time), King's Bane is uncounterable against control, Druids can overheal more then Priest and Warrior combined... amazing spot indeed.

I detect Sodium Chloride in your speech.
I am also detecting you are the downvote that cannot learn sarcasm as well.
Yong Who?
*grabs popcorn and read through comments*
LOLZ......this is hilarious.......They will probably be sued for copyright if anything. These clowns are done....adios and who cares. I was calling this 3 years ago........VINDICATED
You're delusional.
so heavy they failed....second dinner is nothing but I need a second try because I sucked the first time around. After they choke i hope they disappear and go flip burgers. I hope they don't fail at that.
Second Dinner is the name these geniuses come up with.....My god when you watch a fat guy eat dinner and then two hours later he goes and stuffs his fat face again he isn't3 having a second dinner he's having a SECOND SUPPER. Sounds better and has better Logo potential. These dudes are dumb and that's why they will choke on their own vomit and disappear into nothing. Bye brode and woo-woo....see ya and who cares.
