Misfits enter Hearthstone with three big names

MCV Staff 21st December 2016 Business News

Misfits has announced its entry into the world of Hearthstone by signing three top players.

Stanislav “StanCifka” Cifka, George “Georgec” Connolly and Mikulas “Pokrovac” Dio are the three players to be signed to the organisation. All three have played across multiple high level tournaments and done reasonably well.

The move is a somewhat surprising one as many big name teams such as NaVi and Dignitas have dropped their Hearthstone rosters over the past few months. However this seems to have been an opportunity for Misfits as they are now one of the stronger teams in the scene.

This all comes off the back of an incredibly successful debut year for the organisation. Its Challenger Series League of Legends team managed to qualify for the LCS next split and its Overwatch team has been one of the best in the world for months, winning the Overwatch Open.

[Industry news] Core Keeper’s ancient Core becomes a one of a kind gaming PC, to be won for charity

More than 4 million people have played Core Keeper, and every one of them started the same way, waking in a dark cavern beside an ancient Core that has lain dormant for aeons. Pugstorm and Fireshine Games, the game's developer and publisher, have now worked with Scan to build that Core into a real gaming PC. It is one of a kind, and it is the prize in the Global Games Draw, a new prize draw for Into Games, a UK charity that helps young people from working class backgrounds into careers in games. Every entry raises money for that work.
