Did Baldie apply? if so :O if we lose our ACL man :O
:O
I haven't applied.. yet.
Regardless eventually there may come a day I can no longer do ACL work - I'd like to think there's a magnitude of people out there capable of filling my shoes
I do have a lot of passion for blizzard games, and our community, plus a wealth of knowledge about esports, tournaments, etc, but this job could present some challenges, mainly location > US. Also i'm very close to finishing up study, and will start a new career in a couple of months, which i'm excited about.
I might apply, but we'll see what happens
Good luck to whoever they select.
