About Yawgmoth
Born in 1987 in Aquileia (Udine), Andrea Gereon is a Hearthstone professional player and an accomplished streamer. After spending ten years competing as a Magic: The Gathering pro player, ‘Yawgmoth’ gave Hearthstone a try... and it was love at first sight.
Coming off a Top 16 finish with Team Italy in the 2017 Global Games, ‘Yawgmoth’ has already achieved a Top 30 in the Hearthstone Grand Prix Main Event at 2016 DreamHack Valencia, as well as a lot of good results on the national stage.
“I’ve been waiting for a long time before joining another competitive team”, Andrea commented, “because I was looking for a project that could let me compete at the highest levels, both in Italy and worldwide.
Team QLASH strikes me as a young yet highly organized team, full of human values. Here I’ll find a lot of great players – and also friends of mine. I want to thank Luca Pagano and Eugene Katchalov and their staff for this opportunity. I promise to repay their trust by winning as much as I can”.
