Meet the Heroes Lounge team of volunteers, supporting the largest Heroes of the Storm league in the world

27, Swiss/British. I am the founder of Heroes Lounge. I am also the owner of Barcraft Zurich, organising public viewings for esports events. Although professionally a data scientist, I have always been a huge fan of esports, particularly with Blizzard games, with my first love being for SC2. Building Heroes Lounge from the ground up has been an incredible experience, and I am proud to be part of such an awesome community.

Hi there, I'm TinyOwl from the Netherlands. I am Chief Operations for Heroes Lounge. I make sure our organisation keeps running smoothly. Its a weird task that sometimes means pestering people about setting up meetings. Other times writing plans to go to new regions. And im sometimes an HR person to try and settle our differences. One of the things I like to do most is the mentor program for the free agents, to help new people get into the league and the community. I first played HotS during a LAN at home with some friends. That's how my first team Beginner AI was born, which joined Heroes Lounge in season two. During the day I am a business/IT advisor.

26, German. My first involvement in Heroes Lounge was as a cocaster in Season 2 which I still do irregularly. Since then I have focussed more on the organisation of the Heroes Lounge competition where I am coordinating our moderator team, the regular season and the playoffs. I am following esports since the release of StarCraft 2 in 2010 and got involved with organizing tournaments myself in 2015. Playing Heroes of the Storm since alpha and a long standing member of the Church of Rehgar through highs, lows and bugged feral lunges.

Hiya, Astraeus here! I'm a 22 year old student from the Netherlands. Been a fan of e-sports since Starcraft II Wings of Liberty, now enjoy spending my free time on HotS, working "hard" to get to masters. My staff duties involve assisting you in our Heroes Lounge discord, adding the freshest memes to the discord bot and keeping a watchful eye over all the content we produce.

Phalop here, I am 23 years old with a masters degree in biomedical engineering and will be starting my PhD soon. Apart from being a scientist I am also a big fan of HOTS, other games and TV series. I am playing HOTS now well over a year and really fell in love with the game. When my interest was declining I found the HL which ignited the love for the game again. Currently besides competing, I also started casting and joined the moderator team as I always love to help people out and want to help the HL in any way possible as I love this community and everything HL stands for.

I'm a mechanical engineering student, who loves playing games. My favorite game, by far, is Heroes of the Storm. I am casting for the biggest amateur league in Heroes, and I love it. Casting isn't just commentating games, it's so much more. It's also about the glare of happiness in the players eyes, when they realize, they are being casted. And it's about finding friends in other casters and players.

I am a 27 year old civil engineer in Finland, most known for my songs. I got added to the media team after my song Human (end of season 4.) One of the few pc games I had as a kid was Warcraft III and that is part of the reason I really liked HotS when I first tried it. I found Heroes Lounge in the end of season 1, when I saw some games casted by Khaldor and have been a player since season 2.

A girl from California who enjoys playing HotS and making websites, so it just makes perfect sense to help out with a site that is related to the game. I hope to bring my development experience to Heroes Lounge to help keep growing it as a community of passionate people.
