Today we launch another section in one of the most popular Blizzard game. Lzuruha has expanded into Hearthstone now with it's very first official member Kyle "WallysOG" Wallace! We had a chance to get to know WallysOG a little more and his game plan for what's to come! Read below for the interview and join me in welcoming this new member!
What is Hearthstone? It's a fast paced strategy card game that's easy to learn and massively fun. Start a free game on Battle.net and play your cards to sling spells, summon creatures, and command the heroes of Warcraft in duels of epic strategy.
So tell us about your self a bit!
My name is Kyle "WallysOG" Wallace and I'm a 22 year old who loves video games maybe a little too much. I play hockey also when I'm not on hearthstone, WoW or heroes of the storm. Coming up in May will be the 18th year of playing hockey which sounds crazy to me. I love to go to raves and glove, even though I don't think I'm that great at it. And people normally just call me Wally.
How did you get into Hearthstone?
I was never really a card game kinda guy but when I saw Hearthstone for the first time I knew I'd get hooked right away. After I won a giveaway on Twitter for a beta key I put probably close to 100 hours into the game just messing around with decks and getting to diamond when it was actually somewhat relevant. Once I got there I really wanted to try doing arena and then quickly realized I'm terrible at it. But other than all that, it's just a fun game that isn't too serious, not extremely difficult to learn but incredibly difficult to master.
Whats your goals in Hearthstone?
I want to get to Legend rank, win at least 1 tournament and have every card in the game. I've been so close to Legend but wasn't able to put in the time to get there and my best tournament finish was an ESL pre season cup where I placed 8th.
Whos your favorite Hearthstone player? Why him?
I'm honestly torn between Amaz and Trump. I think when it comes to watching streams, I'd say Amaz because he's so out there and hilarious. Trump is very methodical and carefully considers each and every play. They are both very entertaining though and really great players.
Whats your favorite deck to roll with?
I'd have to say Mech Mage. I've had the most success with Mage and Mech Mage is also super fun to play. Early game board pressure is essential but you have a lot of mid/late game too with Dr.boom aka Dr.balanced coming in on turn 7 almost every time.
Pick one card, this card is the card you always try to fit in your deck. Why?
Dr.Boom is probably the most effective legendary I've used. He's a 7/7 for 7 that spawns two 1/1 doombots that explode for 1-4 damage randomly on the enemy's side of the board. Who can not like that?
How do you feel about the recent Hearthstone: Blackrock expansion?
After looking at a lot of the cards, I'm really happy about the meta changes. I've seen maybe 4 different decks on ladder right now and it's quite frustrating to play at the moment. I think Mage will be really strong again and I'm hoping I'll get to play it a lot.
Where can people find you? Twitter? Facebook?
