Oktoberbrawl has Begun! Two Exclusive New Card Backs Available via Twitch Prime
Hearthstone's Oktoberbrawl event featuring six community-favourite streamers has begun! Part of the event includes two new card backs available through Twitch Prime which help you show your support for one of the two teams competing in the event. Want to show your support? Simply equip the card back for the team you love!
If you're a Twitch Prime member, you can head on over to the redemption page to add the card backs to your account.
- It should also be noted that in November, Twitch Prime is going to be giving away a "Special Card Pack".
- In January, Twitch Prime members will receive 2 card packs.
What is Oktoberbrawl?
- Oktoberbrawl is a special event featuring 6 pro players split up into 2 teams.
- Each pro creates a fresh Hearthstone account to use during the event period.
- Twitch Prime members can redeem two new card backs for their account which each belong to one of the teams.
- Support a team by equipping one of the two card backs.
- Each time you win a ranked game with that card back equipped, you help your team get a chance to open more card packs for the week.
- These card packs are for the pros playing, not you. The only freebies for us normies during this event are the card backs.
- The pros are not allowed to purchase anything in-game for real money.

Call of the Light
I just think the call of the void card back is far better than the light, even though I hate thijs and like Kripp. I'll use the void one.
Black cardback isn't bad but the white one looks better for me, more elegant and clean. Fits sweetly with priest. Never used cardbacks in 2~ years and the white one will be the first one I will use in some decks.
Don't need no new card backs after legend bruh.
Be very careful when redeeming if you have multiple HS accounts. I wound up getting the backs on the last account I had logged into the browser with, and not the one I was logged into with the blizzard app. No big deal, but there are no do-overs with this.
Update: This is very likely if you have multiple accounts because to get the recent 'pick your pony' promotion you probably logged into the battle.net page with each one starting with your main and ending with an alt. The twitch.com uses a cookie mechanism to determine which account is 'yours'. No username is displayed until you select the option to confirm.
Besides the lame loot this month, did anybody watch Allie or J4ckie playing? Both with shitty F2P decks in wild where they basically only play against good players with rather good decks … and that on rank 18. I play in wild pretty often and I know that you only face legendary card backs and tier 1/2 decks from rank 10 upwards.
So what is Blizzard trying to prove? That the F2P experience is terrible? That pro players get REKT in wild and will not get above rank 15? I really like J4ckie and Allie but it was too depressing to watch them.
They are pros, they will find a way. I was actually surprised by the caliber of deck faced above 20. At this point, I was facing absolute garbage in wild when I started my climb today. Perhaps the time of day is a variable.
How did the saltiest player on earth end up on Team Light? /boggled
WHICH salty player! LOL
is this just a code to reedem or you need to link your blizzard account to twitch prime?
Yeah, you will have to link accounts for this one.
Wow. How very generous Blizzard...
September: Two card backs
November: A "special" card pack. Most likely just a free legendary
January: Two card packs
While Overwatch and Heroes of the Storm get: 1 Legendary Loot Box, and 5 loot boxes one month, then another 5 another month
Giving away free packs? Are you senile? I'll take two mediocre card backs over actual useful card packs any day.
Yeah, but Overwatch comes from a multi billion dollar company while Hearthstone is a mobile indie game.
Well, in those games you get only cosmetics from the boxes. Here you get actual cards, that you need to play the game.
Give them a break. Small indie company, they could go bankrupt if they gave us too many.
did the same man. Contacted the Blizzard support, lets see what they can do...
I contacted both Battle.net and Twitch Support, but I read scary Things about how fast, if at all, they answer their tickets.
So I created a new Amazon Prime account, linked it with Twitch and Twitch with my main Battle.net account. This at least gave me the card backs 10 minutes ago. Then I changed everything back ...
when i now try to get Heroes of the Storm loot, which I dont Need cause I dont Play it, it would deliver it to my main account, thats good. But I seriously doubt that further Hearthstone Content Comes to my main account ... time will tell. Now, go Team Void lul.
That "special pack" that comes in november allready sounds way more interesting than this nonsence.
It's most likely gonna be a guaranteed Legendary pack, since Overwatch and HotS had guaranteed legendary loot boxes.
