I am EXTREMELY excited to announce that I have accepted a new role and will be joining Wizards of the Coast as a Community Manager for Magic: the Gathering :)
Thank you to everyone in the Magic Community who made what I did so special. I unfortunately won’t be working with you anymore, but I hope I did you right in the time we had together. Cheers!
If anyone knows of folks looking for a passionate, hard working, dedicated individual who is passionate about community, esports and gaming, please let them know you know a guy.
Congratulations to the players who have qualified for travel awards to the 2019 Pokemon World Championships! Release forms have been emailed out! Please look to get those back in as soon as you can and let us know if you have any questions.
Congratulations to all the Pokémon TCG and VG players who qualified for Players Cup III! Registration emails should be hitting your inboxes. I look forward to seeing you all online. Cheers!
Gaming communities. In order for your game to “stay alive”, two main things you need are 1. New players and 2. Player retention. Toxic behavior is the enemy to both. If you really “love” that game, be better. Being respectful isn’t as hard as some of you are making it. ❤️
I don't go into personal thoughts and feelings much on here at all. However, I just need to express how incredibly happy I am with both my work family at Pokemon and the insanely amazing community I get to be involved with. Just...can't believe this is where I am in life. <3
10 years and endless memories. Stopped by to say some goodbyes today. Thank you to everyone who made my time at Blizzard so amazing. From fans to Innkeepers to everyone who I called friend or family. Please always know how incredible you are to me. See you in the next chapter! <3
I have now reached a decade of working for Blizzard Entertainment. 10 years of incredible memories, friends and experiences. Thank you to everyone who has entered my life over these last 10 years and has been apart of something so amazing for me. Cheers!

Our numbers are small, but our passion and commitment is unmatched. Heading into the final day of the Pokemon World Championships and I can’t think of a better group to be doing it with. So lucky to be part of such an incredible team.
Congratulations to the players who have qualified for Travel Awards to the 2020 Oceania International Championship! Invites are out! Please look to get your forms back in as SOON as you can! As always, let us know if you have any questions! Hope to see you in Melbourne!!!
Early Access was taxing. Lot of last minute fires. But it was also a great reminder of the passion you all have and why I love what I do. Thank you to all who participated, and watched. And thank you to those who help to make it better every time. Cheers! ❤️

Streamer Event. Apologizes if I have not gotten to some folks yet. Planning on 1st round of emails going out this Friday. Will post when they do so folks can be on the lookout. Share the word. Cheers!

Guy from Discord DMs me last night with an
#mtgarena
complaint. I apologize and explain that I am no longer an employee and direct him to proper resources. “Dev like you are why the game is bad and Im leaving”, cusses me out and blocks me.
LOVING seeing all these players play testing and working together. It is inspirational seeing players from all over the World coming together for a shared passion. Absolutely humbling I get to be part of this. Cannot wait for the Wolrd Championships to really kick off!
Travel Award emails for the Europe International Championship winners have been sent out! Sad we won't be seeing you all in Berlin. Hope everyone is staying safe and healthy. Cheers!
Six days till departure. Seven days till start. Then an entire future of opportunity. For the first time in my life, excitement has trumped nerves. Saying goodbye has been so difficult, but everything ahead looks so amazing and sweet! I cannot wait!
A lot going on out there in the world. Players and parents be safe! If you hit any issues on your way to or at Worlds, please do not hesitate to reach out. <3
When the Player Coordinator has the highest engagement in Virbank in the last 28 days - something I never thought I'd see - I know we've come a long way as a game!
You love to see it!
My wife and I regret never getting a picture of us, Jaina and Tyrael all together before he passed. Had this commissioned and
@SilverDr4gon
absolutely killed it. Fantastic to work with. 100% reccommend for anyone who wants awesome work done!
I have a favor to ask. If you have ever worked with me, in person, at events, online, as a customer, influencer or otherwise, I would GREATLY appreciate any recommendations Happy to return the favor as well. Thanks!
If I haven’t said it directly enough, let me say it publicly as well. Thank you to ALL my amazing friends who have supported me over these last few months. What I thought was going to be an incredibly hard time has turned into an amazing journey. And the best is yet to come! <3
The Latin America International Championship stage and venue is easily one of the most impressive I have seen in all my years of tournaments and esports. Can NOT wait for players to see this place!

Today I helped a fan not only get his first Hearthstone win, but it came against his son who is an avid player. The smile on this man’s face was priceless. Some aspects of my job are just too incredible to describe. I’m just thankful I get to be a part of it.

Jokes, memes, arguments and craziness aside - be safe friends. Make smart, thought out choices and stay healthy. Keeping all friends and their families in my thoughts. We’re in this together. ❤️

. One of my favorite things about it, besides all the Pokemon of course, has to be the awesome things nature does. Such amazing colors!
I had 3 goals when I started this D3 season. Things I’ve never done. 1. Paragon 1k. 2. Full book completion. 3. Leaderboards. After much clicking and irreplaceable help from

My

headphones, while I absolutely love them, cannot recognize my name as J.Hill and keeps trying to pronounce it as one name. Long story short, if these headphones call me "Jill" one more time, the headphones and I are gonna throw hands.
Day 1 of the Pokemon Workd Championships is in the books! Awesome to meet so many new people and see so many returning folks. Cant wait for day 2! See you all in the morning!

Streamer Event questions I keep getting asked.
"Has anything else besides the name changed with Early Access?"
- No
"If I was in the last one, am I in this one"
- Unless informed otherwise, yes.
"Do I need to send another email"
- Please no. My inbox begs you.
My friends, hobbies, travels, the opportunities I've earned and even my career. It is hard for me to think of anything that has impacted my life like this game has. Happy 30th birthday

! May the next 30 years be as awesome as you've made my last 20+

I’m fairly certain my favorite thing about

is listening to my wife (who has never done anything Pokemon before) try and describe what she is trying to catch.

As we grow up, people stop asking the good questions. The ones we get to poor our passion and real thoughts into without having to worry about judgement or anything. So, in honor of

release, What’s your favorite dinosaur?
As much as I enjoy playing TCGs/CCGs, does anyone else love to just sit down and build decks? It is so exciting to me to watch strategies come together and just see the awesome interactions available.
