/hsg/ is the /vg/ League team representing the /vg/ thread, Hearthstone General. Kripparino is our guy. >we enjoy playing this broken game .
Sometimes we’re Rank 5. Other times we’re Rank 10. Most of the time, we’re just a bunch of fedora-tipping Comboshitters. Never forget, Zoo is a Control Deck.

Team History
/vg/ League 4
Not long after the VGL4 signups were opened, an initial /hsg/ roster was made by a 4CC-viewing /hsg/ anon with the intent of seeing of them compete. While the anon was unable to manage, former 4CC manager Spotmonkey stepped in to finish the team's creation.
When it came time to submit exports, /hsg/ was the centre of controversy as they had elected to copy steal borrow the formation that /cgl/ had used to great success in the prior Spring cup. Undeterred, /hsg/ were drawn against /civ4xg/, /ssbg/, and /kspg/. In their first game /hsg/ took a shock lead late in the second half courtesy of Kel'Thuzad, but a last-gasp equalizer meant they had to settle for a draw. Against /kspg/, /hsg/ were unable to find their feet and fell to a disappointing 1-0 defeat. On the final day /hsg/ were in a situation where a win of any sort would send them through with /ssbg/, and despite being battered by /civ4xg/ they managed to get the cheekiest win possible with Kel'Thuzad scoring the winner with /hsg/'s only shot on target all match, sending /hsg/ to an unexpected knockout round place, flouting all pre-cup predictions.
Despite being relatively mediocre up until that point, on the final weekend /hsg/ finally found some form. First they got a 3-2 win in the Round of 16 over former champions and autopilot side /dsg/, in the Quarter Finals they came back from 2-0 down to win 3-2 against a highly-favored /xcg/, in the Semi-Finals they managed to shut down the previously overpowering offense of /rsg/, another autopilot side and eventual 3rd place team, and win 3-1 to book their place in the Final. Unfortunately the underdog story was not to be, as /hsg/ found themselves completely shut out in the Children's Card Gameb Owl against /dng/ succumbing to a 2-0 defeat to take 2nd place.
/vg/ League 5
A LOT OF SECRETS HAPPENED. COULDN’T SHOW UP. SORRY. WHO WAS HE?
ANGRY TREE NOISES.
MONKEYS.
AND NOW THERE’S WHISPERING.
/vg/ League 6
With A New Way To Play in this Year of the Kraken, Scivir was ready to take literally every suggestion from /hsg/ to build the perfect VGL Draft and go 12-0. Uh, 7-0.
Shit didn’t happen. I blame Brode.
Slotted into Group D with /nepgen/, /aceg/, and newcomer /gerg/, /hsg/ had a lot to prove going into the /vg/ League 6. Gone was Kel’Thuzad, banished to Wild. Kripparino decided to skipparino, and the Grim Patron was nerfed into the bench. Taking on new leadership of the team for the tournament was Al’Akir the Windlord, a symbol, not merely a card; Reno Jackson, the hero we all deserve; Yogg-Saron, the 10-mana powerhouse who proved that even tryhard faggots need to meme to win; and Arch-Thief Rafaam, who stole the second Silver spot from *angry tree noises* after getting the card nerfed. New cards and a shuffled deck, /hsg/ pressed into the tournament, hoping to aggro their opponents down, and damn if it almost worked. Twice in a row, against champion-copycat /gerg/ and seemingly eternal knockout team /nepgen/, /hsg/ took a strong lead but blew it in the end. Funnily enough, the last match against /aceg/ was a promotable game, as all /hsg/ had to do was win by two goals. Sadly, Al’Akir and the cards you should fear were unable to take advantage of their board control, and the game ended in a 4-4 draw, putting /hsg/ dead last in the group.
Despite the horribly missed lethals in their official matches, /hsg/ went on to hone their skills in tiny Strivewire tournies and even find two Euros of prize money after winning the Fakkin Boolsheet II’s Gauntlet. The team was invited to Karazhan Tower in July and recruited their Theater Manager Barnes as the team’s new Gold Medal for the upcoming season.
/vg/ League 7
Weary from their rough performance in the previous League, /hsg/ looked to bring their competitors /@/, /wotg/, and /tfg/ to the Mean Streets of Gadgetzan and win by any means necessary under new manager Vilkenparadis. A win against the idols gave the boys hope, but a hefty loss from Blisk and his crew clearly being bettah almost made /hsg/ uninstall the game and switch to Gwent. The final Group Stage match against /wotg/ was a brawl on the pitch, with goals everywhere. Mortars were shot and portals were cast, and at the end of it all, it was new recruit Barnes who set the stage at the 88th minute for /hsg/ to take to the knockouts. Second in the group, /hsg/ were paired against /vitagen/, a strong Group Stage team, for their Round of 16 match.
>Playing on mobile >ever
/hsg/ assumed direct control over /vitagen/ and played their most dominating game yet, taking a 2-1 victory to the Quarterfinals against /utg/. It was here that the cards were tested the greatest. With 14 minutes left in the game and lethal in sight for /utg/ in the form of a 3-1 lead, /hsg/ Innervated out a nerfed Yogg-Saron and ended on top, and a last-minute Al’akir-Rockbiter combo put the game into Extra Time. Resources exhausted, players gassed, and penalties in sight, /hsg/ tapped their hero power and found what they needed, Reno Jackson. The silver DMF blasted one into the net, healed /hsg/ to full, and delivered them to the Semi-Finals against fellow VGL silver medalist, /xcg/.
The match opened with the sixth consecutive goal from WIIIIIIIINDS! in the tournament and stayed 1-0 for 87 minutes. Time stood still as the /xcg/ manager deliberated his tactics over and over in his head, before making the perfect call and striking panic into the /hsg/ defensive line. They lost their footing, and let XCOM’s striker Snaketits put one in, sending the team, again, to Extra Time. Unfortunately, these advanced, next level tactics proved too much for the RNG-reliant /hsg/, and even though the world’s greatest Patron Combo kept the scoreline level for a spat, Snaketits completed her hattrick and ended /hsg/’s run to the championship crown.
Third Place is a beautiful thing, and /hsg/ had decided to just roll with it against /5N@F/. With a new Midrange deck in hand, the team was reminded that card games really are just about fun, and Captain WIIIIIIIINDS became the third ever VGL player to score in the maximum amount of games he could in a tournament, and the second player ever to do it in 7 games.
Third-place medal in hand, /hsg/ waved goodbye to their Blackrock Mountain, Grand Tournament, and League of Explorers players as dank new dinos were scouted for positions on the pitch, as well as a few pirates from Gadgetzan who missed the deadline to sign up for tryouts.
