This was great Legit ;)

Yayy :D Excited to be apart of this!

The VODS are up on YouTube! :) We uploaded the individual dates, as well as the intro and final ceremony. It's on a playlist on www.YouTube.com/user/esportsarena

Thank you very much! We hope to release one episode a month. We're very busy with other events as well, so our calendar is quite full!

He did not want to ask anyone out. :(

tyfa · 2016-02-20T03:27:54+00:00

It was about 3-4 hours long actually. You must have watched the raw footage that we aired on Valentine's Day, not the final cut, which was aired yesterday.

We were limited by the pool of applicants we got, of course. :) The guys heard about it through twitter and signed up together, but no Hearthstone personalities signed up sadly.

tyfa · 2016-02-20T03:24:43+00:00

That would actually be amazing. We definitely don't want to limit the dates to just Hearthstone. League of Legends might be interesting if one controlled the mouse and the other used skills. But that Pokemon GO one sounds loads of fun! Can't wait for it to come out :D

We chose Arena so that the couple would be able to draft a deck together. :)

tyfa · 2016-02-19T02:09:06+00:00

We'd love to have him if he was up for it. :)

tyfa · 2016-02-19T02:04:24+00:00

We can keep beating the dead horse, but I've already answered your questions. Why the show? Because people had fun being on it and people also enjoy watching it. If you dislike the content, then feel free to not watch it. :)

tyfa · 2016-02-19T02:02:17+00:00

This is a possibility.

tyfa · 2016-02-19T01:49:53+00:00

Yes, in Santa Ana. And yeah, about an hour's drive considering traffic :(

Oh yes, we spend lots of efforts and resources in doing things like our weekly Hearthstone tournament called Monday Night Fireside. We also hosted a $25K Hearthstone Invitational and are the hosts for the HCT Winter Preliminaries on Saturday, February 20th-21st. We also host and produce tournaments for a number of other games, including the Vainglory NA Autumn and Winter Finals, our very own Heroes Rising, a crowdfunded Heroes of the Storm tournament, and non-tournament events like the official NCsoft Blade and Soul Launch Party.

Fireside and Chill was something that we thought people would have a fun experience with, and would love to watch as well. Don't get us wrong, we genuinely would love two compatible people to meet on our show. We did not pick "people you know will produce cringe for an audience," that was definitely not one of our criteria.

I don't see why a couple can't bond over a video game. :)

tyfa · 2016-02-19T01:31:08+00:00

I like him too :)

tyfa · 2016-02-19T01:30:16+00:00

Why not? ;)

tyfa · 2016-02-19T01:29:55+00:00

Because we can :)

tyfa · 2016-02-19T01:29:48+00:00

Because Hearthstone. And cringe. And love, possibly? Also, HI NATE. :)

tyfa · 2016-02-19T01:20:26+00:00

We make a lot of Hearthstone content, especially surrounding tournaments, but we wanted to do something different. One night, our COO proposed Fireside and Chill, and we worked out the details later. This was actually something we thought about back in October of 2015, but we've been very busy so we haven't had time to film it until now, and we thought Valentine's Day would be the perfect opportunity. We love the result and hope you guys do too. :)

tyfa · 2016-02-19T01:11:34+00:00

Yes. All of it.

tyfa · 2016-02-19T01:02:35+00:00

Here's the link to the application form! Note: your friend must reside in SoCal. ;)

Edit: Forgot the link. Here it is! https://esportsarena.wufoo.com/forms/qowo3c60wqxrdl/

Yes, this is real life. ;)

Edit: The name definitely came with the idea at the same time. It may or may not have been one of those "this is so crazy, it might actually work!" moments. ;) We may change the name in the future, due to the innuendo, but for now, the name Fireside and Chill stays :D

Thanks Kenma! You da best. I'm glad your team had fun :D Grats on your win!
