About

Janne Mikkonen, known as Savjz, is a Finnish streamer and former competitive Hearthstone player.[1][2] He won the OGN Invitational in South Korea in May 2014 and SeatStory Cup 2 in Germany that October.[3] SEUL named him its 2014 Player of the Year.[4]

Hearthstone and streaming

He began playing Hearthstone when the European beta opened in 2013.[2] Repeated wins in a King of the Hill event hosted by Artosis helped him attract an audience.[2] He became a Twitch partner in January 2014.[5]

By August 2014, he had joined Team Liquid alongside Amaz.[6] He experimented on stream with decks such as Majordomo Mage and Astral Communion Druid, which PC Gamer highlighted in September 2015.[7]

Magic competition and content creation

Savjz finished third at the Mythic Invitational in March 2019.[8] The Magic Pro League announced him as a new member on May 13, 2019; he had already reached the number-one Mythic ranking in MTG Arena.[9]

He declined an invitation to the Magic Rivals League for 2020 to concentrate on creating content.[8] In a May 2021 interview, he said his focus was his channel and that a return to competitive Hearthstone was unlikely.[2]
