T&E at BlizzCon 2019

We are immensely proud of Taliesin and Evitel who hosted the BlizzCon 2019 Q&A.  We do not want to embarrass them, but this was no ordinary feat.  They were charming, fun and engaging, exactly as we have known them to be for the last 5+ years. 

This was quite the worrying time after the Free Hong Kong backlash, and Evitel cooking a bun in the oven(!).  Thankfully for those of us watching, the BlizzCon audience were surprisingly (or perhaps, unsurprisingly) respectful of the Panel sat before them, the hosts and their environment, with the only two instances arising acknowledged and diffused by Taliesin without fuss.

After the Q&A, Taliesin and Evitel were able to stream Shadowlands live, giving us a sneak peak with their usual witty banter and attempts to read the non-stop scrolling Twitch chat while playing with no keybindings (horrific).  We were delighted to see the picture shown at the top of this post when loading up the Battle.net Launcher. 

Well done Taliesin and Evitel, what an achievement and a genuine acknowledgement of all your hard work and love for this game.  Well done Blizzard team-who-decides-such-things, for an excellent choice.  The hosting opportunity could not have gone to two more deserving, wonderful people, and as a Guild we were so happy to see their lovely faces front and center!
