Am ersten Februar fällt der letzte Vorhang für die Hearthstone-Abteilung von Virtus.pro. Wie die Organisation bereits am Donnerstag bekannt gab, sieht man aktuell keine Zukunft mehr in Blizzards Kartenspiel. Vielmehr plane man sich in Zukunft voll und ganz auf das von Valve geplante Kartenspiel – „Artifact: The Dota Card Game“ – zu konzentrieren. Wie die Zukunft der drei Spieler BunnyHoppor, DrHippi und Naiman aussieht, ist aktuell noch unklar. Alle drei sollen jedoch auch großes Interesse an Valves Plänen bekundet haben.
We have arrived at such conclusion after analyzing Blizzard’s 2018 plans and tournaments‘ landscape over the past few years. At this moment, we can’t see any prospects in Hearthstone for us.
The players realize the current state of Hearthstone’s professional scene and understand the inevitability of this decision. We have spent a lot of time together, those were a great couple of years. Virtus.pro boasted one of the strongest rosters in Europe and CIS at the time of scene’s maximum competitivity (2015-2016). I wish to thank my predecessors, Sergei Pisotsky in particular, for finding such talented players.
Everyone is interested when we’ll acquire a roster in the Artifact discipline. We are constantly in touch with the players. They, as we are, are very interested in Artifact, but we’ll hold announcements on this topic until a second-third quarter of the year.
