In this most recent set of switches, Blizzard's Hearthstone gameplay specialists took on Giggling Inventor, Mana Wyrm, and Aviana.

It's a day of big changes for Blizzard, as Mike Morhaime has announced that he's stepping down from his role as president of the company. Morhaime has been with Blizzard since the beginning, being one of the company's co-founders along with Allen Adham and Frank Pearce.

Overwatch is probably the perfect example of a video game that gained immense popularity early on and managed to hold onto it. After all, the game is such a hit that it's getting a series of LEGO sets modeled after it, and LEGO doesn't create sets for any old thing.
