Starstruck :-)

Submitted 5 years, 6 months ago by

So earlier this week, I made it to Legend for the first time, and today, I got to play (and beat) Brian Kibler! I am almost embarrassed to admit that I was essentially starstruck. For starters, I am an old school MtG player, so Kibler is basically a living legend in my opinion. It was also the first time I have ever played against (that I know of) one of the Hearthstone pro's. 

And, for what it's worth, I did resist the urge to snipe him. I only looked at Twitch after I knew the game was done, just to see if it was actually Kibler.

    I felt like that the first time I beat Pavel! Heh!
    I was shouting to my wife: "Hey, Mrs S! I just beat the World Champion!" 

    Good times! :-D
    (Not that Pavel has the same online presence as Kibler of course - that would be impressive since I don't suppose he ever plays onthe EU servers lol)

    Nice one, I've always enjoyed Kibler from Magic

    I know that feeling all too well.

    I've faced several streamers in legend, but the one i'm the fondest of, was a victory against Thijs, back when Fel Reaver aggro druid was still a thing.
