In the Hearthstone Wild Open 2017, it was Italy’s self-professed Wild specialist Albert ‘Alb987’ Reano who beat down goliath opponents like Canada’s Control. Alb987 came from nowhere to win the crown, and he gave us a Grand Final worth remembering.
Although he has been gaming since the Sega Mega Drive launched in 1990, he still sucks at most games. When not being trash he watches French horror films, drinks herbal tea and secretly loves the music of Taylor Swift.
