The former Warcraft III & Starcraft II world-class player Yoan “ToD” Merlo has joined the *aAa* Heroes of the Storm team.
Here is its statement regarding his choice regarding the Blizzard new MOBA:
"After playing a long time at Starcraft II, I decided to stop competition on this game, at least for a while. I played at Heroes of the Storm for fun at the beginning, but it turned out that I have finally played 1 000 games in two months. Naturally I decided to try to play in a team, for the first time in my life. That’s why today I’m joining aAa, a team that is pretty much as old as I’m in esport, looking forward seeing what we will be able to accomplish on this very young game."

Does this mean he'll continue to cast?
|
I want to force Blizzard into bringing out a Siege Engine Hero now. Kinda sad though ToD was always so fun in Sc2.
|
Whaaaaaaat? So what is XMG going to do now? And btw: I didn't know that Sjaak switched over to Heroes as well.
But ToD please, come back at least for LotV or continue at least with casting! That's a big loss for sure for the whole scene...
|
goodbye to another foreign hope!

ToD fighting :D

Wut? That was quite unexpected. If he keeps casting SC2 it will be fine though, I never saw him playing in tournaments.
|
He said he is done for now... Calm down people.

Huh. Didn't really see this coming. I knew he played some Heroes, but not enough to justify a full switch. Makes me wonder if Grubby is gonna go over to aAa as well. He's been teasing the switch for a while now, and it would make sense to go with ToD.

I dont blame him for trying something new. After playing this game since 2000, it would be nice to try another viable Blizzard game. Diablo III sucked so I'm looking forward to something new instead of a continuous loop of Sc2. The mass hacking on ladder doesn't help the current STOG either.
Also, somewhat on, but also off topic. How hard is it to get a Heros Beta? I only see progamers or casters have them.

Well good luck ToD, but I just know we will still see plenty of him in sc2  .

Never thought I'd see European scene people transitioning to Heroes.

Grubby seems to be playing Heroes as well (until LotV at least) according to his chat.
