UK esports organisation have brought on board their first Hearthstone player – Alister “Mysterious” Kerridge.
The French player is well-known in the UK Hearthstone scene, and reached the top four in the recent 2016 ESL Summer Premiership finals.
Esports News UK first caught wind of the news last November and now it’s been confirmed.
MnM made the announcement in a news video on their YouTube channel (skip to 1:30).
Mysterious’ first event in 2017 will be the Fireside Winter Tavern Hero Qualifiers at gaming bar Meltdown London. If he wins, he moves a step closer to the Winter Championships.
