MnM to move into another game this year – could it be Hearthstone?

MnM Gaming, winners of the ESL UK Premiership in both League of Legends and CSGO, are about to branch out into another competitive game.
MnM co-founder Kalvin Chung tweeted the following tease this evening:

Excited to be picking up one more eSports title before 2016 ends…

Esports News UK reached out to Kalvin, who gave us the following comment: “We have many things to come in 2017. I mentioned in my previous interview that we hope MnM becomes an organisation capable of supporting a Challenger Series team.
“We have been working hard for the past few weeks to make that happen and this also includes us moving into a new title.”
Kalvin recently had dinner at the ESL UK studio around the time of the recent Hearthstone Premiership finals, so it could be the game MnM move into next.
