I heard that, too, but I didn't follow the first one, so I just can tell my opinion from yesterday.
It was a Crazy weekend
The nerf everyone wanted to happen is now coming in a way that no one wants.
Right before their biggest tournament, because they couldn't stand it any longer... A pleasant reminder that Blizzard does really care about their competitive scene.
Anybody have Forsen casino mage deck?
Sounds like fun
Every week there are new Popular Constructed Decks of the Week, but I only see aggro and secret paladin and sometimes a dragon priest or a hunter.
OTK Dragon Priest is such a nice deck!!! :)
Forsen only got as high as savjz because of concedes, although he also faced ropers. What a great popularity contest.
Well Forsen did play casino mage for the first 12 hours, then they were able to switch decks and Forsen switched to facehunter. The only reason why everybody didn't switch to it was because they couldn't play same class.
Organization of this tournament was a bit meh though. Had some trouble from the start, then audio issues, then all player accounts got suspended by blizzard (wtf), and finally despite having a weird ass rule about being able to disenchant another opponents card if they won in a random ladder appearance match, they didn't have decent enough rule to deal with end on the same rank situation.
on a side note 3 players reaching legend in 24 hours is damn impressive.. Also why is Forsen so popular? And why is he Dad? And why the hell his t-shirts sell like they are cure for the incurable disease? Seriously the guy sold like 900 T-shirts during that marathon. And why the hell did I stay up watching that stream until 4 am and now seriously regretting it because I had to get up at 7:30 to go to work...
Thanks for the run down though.
Reynad and Savjz picked classes before Forsen. Both passed on hunter.
Next year, they need a delay or something to mitigate the opponents wreaking havoc. Several "cool" opponents would just give games away, and several "a-hole" opponents would purposefully rope to slow the players down. And after last years "stars do/don't count", I thought this year would have been smoother. But alas, we had drama, they had to make a ruling, and in head to head forsen's hunter was rightly favored against demon zoo.
Regardless, Savjz, Forsen and Firebat all getting legend in 24 hours from scratch on accounts with only basic cards was insanely impressive. I was especially impressed with Firebat who got screwed with priest in the final 12 hours.
Yeah, they really need to cover the account names of the participants and the opponents. Just to prevent any opportunity for win-trading.
Wow, I can't believe they're finally nerfing Grim Patron Warrior. :\
So are new deckbuilder and comments going to now have 'Warsong nerf' on them instead of 'TGT launch'?
Yep! Once the patch goes live, we'll get it setup.
It would have been nice if they had to use the cards they drafted but they literally used the same decks we see everyday on the meta. They weren't innovative at all.
