I started playing Hearthstone from beta, but never really tried to get high ranks. I did decently for a long time, playing the game for fun and developed a great understand of the game. But to me it was always a casual game. However, several months ago I hit up a local tournament with a few of my really good friends, mainly for fun. But I ended up going 5-0 before losing a match and ended up 4th overall out of a field of 30+. The funny part is that I lost 4 games in a row to Lyndon (came in 6th) on the way to the tournament. Part of me had thought that my competitive gaming days were long gone. Back in my World of Warcraft playing days I lead a guild of 10 people to be one of the top 10 10-man-strict guilds in the world. I guess the competitiveness never leaves. That said, I play sports at a pretty competitive level so it’s not that big a surprise that I would go this route. It was a pretty good personal accomplishment.
For the past few weeks I’ve dedicated a significant amount of time to Hearthstone. The most recent stats show that only 0.5% of all Hearthstone Players on any given month reach Legendary. And it’s a tricky climb. Especially considering kids and other activities taking away the free time you do have. Either way I wanted to just document that I was able to hit it in July of 2018. I even documented it in a Reddit post to help others that play the same deck.
