Antosha (Anton Stepanov)
Antosha has played World of Warcraft for over 15 years, across PvP, raids, and seasonal content. He's an 11-time Rank 1 Gladiator and a regular competitor in Blizzard's official PvP tournaments, and a former official Blizzard tournament caster who called Arena matches live for the WoW community.
Away from arena, he's raided at a high level for years, with deep experience in modern Mythic progression and the endgame eras before it. On NextTier he writes guides about what wins games at the top of the ladder: meta picks, comps, real cutoffs, and the small things most guides skip past.
