Mythic Mini-March Madness - (1) Jeff Hickman vs. (1) Josh Drescher

The matchup to determine the Championship battle is here! Check out our Final Four for a refresher.

(1) Jeff Hickman is Executive Producer for WAR, and besides playing the detail-oriented straight man to Paul Barnett's energetic statements and quotes, he's responsible for the overall strategic design and vision for the game. While that seems like a lot of signoffs and approvals, Jeff's dedication and leadership to ensuring that WAR's gameplay is both fun and engaging to players is, except to his fellow Mythic workers, second to none. Jeff is affectionately referred to as "The Hickman" in community circles, not for any particular reason as to simply sound humorously epic. Here's an interview from MMORPG.com to show you what The Hickman is all about.

Jeff threatened to be upset by Jess Folsom in the last round, but pulled ahead in the latter half of the voting day to win by 57%

(1) Josh Drescher, Producer for WAR, is a self-described "handyman", and he's responsible for the flow and pace of WAR's development. The way Josh ensures that things are going smoothly anad all six cylinders are firing is to facilitate the communication between the various teams and developers for WAR, troubleshoot issues and problems, and get everyone working in a coherent, efficient machine. Josh is also one of the most prolific WAR developers in online circles, whether that is through his blog, Tumblr, or through the never-ending quest for more Twitter followers (go go 700!).

Josh and Carrie Gouskos toughed out a difficult contest last poll, but Josh was eventually triumphant with a 57%.

This is it - the last matchup to determine our multi-day, Championship poll! Who will go on to face Paul Barnett - Jeff or Josh? You decide!

Gotta go with Hickman. Drescher is a Dwarf fan, I know, but the Awesomestache is where its at.

If I have to go out, it's good to know that it took The Hickman to do it.

Seriously. Six of us couldn't take ONE Hickman down last night.

The devs need to nerf Hickmans ASAP.

Sorry, but 1.2.1 is NOT a balance patch you have to wait for 1.3.
