Meet Monsanto: 2020 World Championship

Meet Monsanto: 2020 World Championship

Following two Grandmasters seasons and six Masters Tours, we are gearing up to conclude the year with the Hearthstone 2020 World Championship! With $500,000 (USD) on the line, the top eight players in the world are set to meet on December 12-13 to see who will join the Hall of Champions and finish off 2020 as the next Hearthstone World Champion.

We recently asked each of the competitors a series of quick-fire questions to learn more about them ahead of the 2020 World Championship. Let’s get to know Jerome “Monsanto” Faucher.

The Comedian

With a quick wit and dry sense of humor, Monsanto quickly endeared himself to the Hearthstone Esports team when he first landed on the scene in 2016. His good-natured spirit and lightheartedness mask one of the true workhorses of the competitive scene, dedicating hours of prep for each match while also hosting Hearthstone News on his own YouTube channel. Hailing from The Great White North, this Canadian all-star’s consistency and high-level play earned him a spot in the inaugural season of Grandmasters. Following his 3-2 defeat of Fei “ETC” Liang in the Grandmasters 2020 Season 2 finals, securing his first trip to a World Championship.

HS Esports: Why do you think you are going to win the 2020 World Championship?

Monsanto: I’ve got a very powerful hat.

HS Esports: What does becoming the World Champion mean for you?
