Introduction.

Hi, my name is chaeoon and I made this blog to share some tips to help players reach the legend rank in Hearthstone, and ultimately be able to reach legend consistently and break through the higher ranks of Hearthstone. This post will be a brief introduction and a bit of background about myself, and why I decided to create this blog to help people like you win more games and climb the ladder faster.

I first began playing Hearthstone when it was still in beta in 2014, when I was 14 years old. For 3 years my highest rank was rank 16 in the old ranking system, which is roughly equal to high silver in the current system. I wasn’t thinking deeply about my plays and I wasn’t playing the strongest decks. No, I would think about my plays for roughly 5-7 seconds and played whatever card or cards I felt like playing. I would spend hours playing Hearthstone, only to get frustrated that I was losing games to my opponents’ highrolls and my lowrolls. I didn’t think much about why I was hard stuck silver and only focused on the games in which I would get unlucky and lose. It took me 3 years of being hard-stuck in current-system silver to realize that something I was doing was wrong. The good players were always in the high ranks and the noobs, like me, were stuck in the low ranks. This made me realize that Hearthstone must be a skill-based game and that I can improve at the game as long as I knew what to improve on. This realization made me very excited, because it meant that I could be no longer stuck in silver and climb to legend and brag about it to all my friends. So, I started looking for guides on how to get better at the game, and that’s when I realized that most of the guides out there were not that great (for me at least).

I wanted to improve and climb the ladder, so I started looking for resources and guides to try and get better at the game. At the time most of the guides I found were teaching very similar stuff. “Pick one deck and stick with it”, or “Don’t tilt, take a break after losing 3 games in a row!” were tips that I found commonly, but most of what I was reading was stuff that I already knew, tips that were hard to apply in game, or extremely specific deck guides. Don’t get me wrong, they were all good general tips for climbing but they were not what I was looking for at the time. Guides about game principles and having the proper mindset were what I was looking for, but I could only find very few guides about those topics. After reading these helpful guides and doing a lot, and I mean a LOT, of my own research about game concepts and mentality, I was able to reach legend in 3 months. Since I don’t want you to have to dig around the Internet looking for guides that will actually help and improve your game, I will post tips and short guides here that will explain everything about climbing and winning in Hearthstone. I am going to teach you not only what I learned from those articles, but also what I've learned throughout my years of experience playing Hearthstone so that you can also reach legend and beyond. Everything I teach you will be general concepts and how to think about the game itself, because once you understand these concepts you will thrive regardless of unexpected balance changes and meta shifts.

Since reaching legend in 2017, I first reached top 10 legend in March of 2018, and have been playing consistently in top 200 legend since then. I have reached rank 1 numerous times, and my highest finish was rank 3 in March of 2021. I sincerely hope that the tips and guides that I post here can help you achieve the same feats and help you enjoy the game a little more.
