The votes are in and the four players representing team UK at the $300,000 Hearthstone Global Games has been announced.
The team is as follows:
- Georgec
- J4ckiechan
- GreenSheep
- Jambre
Georgec is the anchor player who already qualified.
Interestingly, two of the three UK Hearthstone players above made promo rap videos to push their votes up.
Current ESL Premiership UK & Ireland Hearthstone Jambre also made an ‘eggcelent’ pun in his promo blurb.
Managed to make the UK #HGG team along with @georgec_hs @F2K_J4CKIE @TPG_Jambre , going to try my best to make the UK great again 🙂
