Gaming Origins
Orange_HS started playing Magic: The Gathering (MTG) when he was twelve years old, after one of his friends introduced him to it. He fell in love with it, and the two of them spent most of their free time playing MTG at locales during his teens.

He entered his first professional MTG tournament when he was fifteen years old and continued to participate in them into his twenties. It was his love for card games that motivated him to try out Hearthstone beta when it was released in 2014, and his experience at Magic is what helped him to quickly climb the ladder and participate in pro-Hearthstone tournaments 2015.

Above all, never blame RNG. Rather, you should blame your own plays that you could have done differently. Regularly practicing with a friend is also a good way to progress, while giving feedback about each other’s plays.
