Hearthstone: BoarControl quits competitive play and becomes Associate Game Designer

Hearthstone's development team has a new member with the arrival of George "BoarControl" Webb.

Starting next week, I’ll be joining Blizzard as an Associate Game Designer on the Hearthstone Final Design team.

I’m thrilled for the opportunity to work on the game that I’ve loved playing for years and couldn’t be more excited to join the team.

BoarControl, which had just lost its GrandMasters status, left the competitive scene to become Associate Game Designer in the Hearthstone Final Design team.

BoarControl will no longer be part of the T1 team he joined last year and with whom he participated in three GrandMasters seasons. Having been in the game since beta, he has had numerous excellent results at the highest level of competition, consistently ranking among the best in the tournaments he participated in. He is one of the best European players.

He joins Gallon in Team 5 as a Final Designer, which can only bode well for the balancing of the game in the future.
