A player silhouette posted on team’s official Twitter strongly suggests that the Warrior master will join the North American team.
Hearthlytics, the team hosting prominent ladder and open tournament players like Justin “JAB” Black and Muzahidul “Muzzy” Islam is going through roster changes. Just last night, the team lost ESL Legendary Series 2 champion Christopher “PHONETAP” Huynh to Luminosity Gaming, the home of Stanislav Cifka, Nuno “Ignite” Pinho and Josh “Impact” Graham. Phonetap joined Hearthlytics at the end of May, mere days before winning the gold in Burbank against Andrey “Reynad” Yanyuk, but his stint there lasted exactly one month.
Despite losing their most accomplished player, Hearthlytics are already working towards replacing him. The team posted a teaser silhouette on their official Twitter feed, saying the player has already been signed and that more clues are coming tonight and on Tuesday.

The darkened silhouette is a strong hint towards Hearthlytics likely signing Warrior expert Andrew “Kitkatz” Deschanel, as the image provided resembles a picture of Kitkatz taken during his appearance at ESGN Fight Night in early 2014.
If this signing indeed comes true, Hearthlytics will gain a true Hearthstone veteran. Apart from being one of the primary revolutionists of the Control Warrior and the class in general, Kitkatz has competed in televised tournaments as early as January 2014. His professional career spans over notable teams including Clarity Gaming, Team Curse and Tempo Storm. After a short hiatus towards the end of 2014, Kitkatz returned to the spotlight, finishing top four at the Legendary Series Season 2 finals.
Hearthlytics management denied to comment on the speculation, saying only that the official announcement of the signing will be coming shortly.
