Ready to watch some seriously wild games this weekend? Hearthstone is hosting its very first Wild tournament which will see 8 of the top wild players compete for their share of a $25,000 prize pool. The players from this event qualified by being at the top of the Wild ladder in each of the four Hearthstone regions and then competing in the Wild Open Qualifiers.

Sweet!
What happend to GeneraL he qualified as first seat in the EU wild qualifier?
Where was the venue of Finals on July 1-2? Help, please.
Interesting that they all have full golden decks.
decks sponsored by Blizzard ?
You know it's a good thing Crystal Core is getting a nerf and Pirate Warrior is being left alone. I mean look at all those rogue decks in the final brackets just dominating their way to victory while pirate warrior is struggling to win at all. /facepalm
That's because the wild meta is inhospitable to quest rogue with all the high-power level aggro options. If you check out a
realstandard tournament, you'll find quest rogues dominating rather than pirate warrior. If you don't like pirate warrior, don't play wildWell, I'd love to analyze what people are bringing in other wild tournaments but they simply don't exist. Obviously what we know about the wild meta is limited to the wild ladder and this tournament because of this
And I never said anything about the standard ladder
Do you even keep up with the Hearthstone tournaments, buddy? Quest rogue is the most popular deck in HCT Spring by far. There's over twice as many people bringing it than pirate warrior. Same goes for Seatstory cup. Most people didn't even bring any kind of warrior to Seatstory, let alone the pirate variant
Aggro Druid was named by Flux, Token Druid by me. Who do you think is correct? Which one should it be?
That's our bad.
I've always gone with the Aggro archetype for "Aggro Token Druid" since it felt to be more of the base play-style.
Even? You mean ALWAYS patches will be reigning supreme in Wild.
That moment when you realize that Warlock is more prevalent then Rogue.
Even Wild tournament can't afford to have all 9 classes representing. Poor Rexxar...
You know its HEALthy when everyone play Priest
shredder, belcher and loatheb too
So many Rogue decks!
In this specific case RNG=variability. Torches serve purely for burn, but sometimes additional timely board clears or stall effects, or polymorphs just more useful.
So far all the games I've watched have been aggro decks winning by turn 5 REAL INTERESTING TOURNY gj for the win. zzz
