Today we’re Featuring Lifecoach!
Those who watch Lifecoach’s stream know him to be an incredible player who is methodical, informative . . . and often shirtless. He’s an accomplished player, with multiple rank 1 and high-ranking Legend finishes in different regions (sometimes different regions simultaneously!), originated ‘Sunshine Hunter’ (the first Hearthstone deck to popularize the use of Unleash the Hounds), and he helped bring Team EU to victory in the Hearth2P EU vs. CN Masters tournament with a 3-0 victory.
We asked Lifecoach a few questions to help you learn more about him:
Q: Can you tell us a little about your stream?
Lifecoach: I have always been competitive in any pursuit I’ve tried. Over the last seven years, I have been playing poker professionally and fortunately, I was able to earn enough money to retire.
I found myself enjoying Hearthstone and, being an analytical person who likes to explain things in a detailed way, I wanted to share my knowledge with other players. That’s where streaming comes in.
Since I see Hearthstone gamers as a community where everybody helps everybody, I decided to do everything Hearthstone related on a non-profit basis. That’s why I don’t accept donations, don’t offer or accept any subscriptions, and don’t put ads on my stream.
Nowadays I travel a lot, visiting different places in the world while playing Hearthstone and streaming.
Q: What’s your favorite Battlecry?
Lifecoach: I love the sound that happens when a Cruel Taskmaster hits a sheep. If I had a Battlecry, it would be “Both players now have 600 seconds to play each turn.”
Q: How did you get into Hearthstone?
Lifecoach: I liked the idea of modernizing card games. As a gamer who always enjoys all Blizzard games, I usually play anything that Blizzard makes.
Then I stayed with it, because being a perfectionist myself, I enjoyed that you can actually do everything you want to do (in opposition to e.g. StarCraft II where you are limited by time, so you always have to prioritize what to do and what not to do).
Q: Do you have any advice for new Hearthstone players?
Lifecoach: Watch my stream!
Q: Why do you often stream without a shirt on?
Lifecoach: Because it’s hot? Why would you get rid of your shirt otherwise?*
When to Watch
You can often find Lifecoach streaming between 6:00 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. PDT almost every day, but he urges you to check often because you never know when he might be playing.
