I can't believe what I'm seeing - people implying they know better than world champions, or that the pro who dedicated his life to the game risks losing $60k over a stupid flashy play.
Exactly. There was no immediate threat from naturalize and this play had better value.
I can't believe people think they know the game better than world champions, and that pros play for shits and giggles when $60k is on the line... It's mind numbing.
Absolutely nothing against Dog, it's just the shallow sheep mentality of everyone voting for the popular options. Dog is probably an awesome guy.
When do we get/how do we claim packs?
You will get it in-game. There will be a notification as usual when you login.
They usually reward the packs 1 week (or so) after the tournament has ended.
After watching the end again I have to say that the appearance of Mike Morhaime was really poor. No emotion, no spirit....guess he didn't even know who won the championship.
At least a handshake would've made the deal but this was just bad.
Hopefully packs will be awarded in game as opposed to a gift we award to a single region.
Funny how bunnyhoppor decided on drake and sunfury for last play when the obvious decision was Geist. Sorry but just because geist was the autopilot decision doesn't make it a worse play.
He thoughts were "shit geist is what every pleb would play, a pro plays differently" sorry to burst ur little bubble here but if by differently u mean worse than yeah sure, every pleb out there would have made a better play than a pro. Welcome to HS
Oh and btw i was rooting for bunnyhopper but sometimes this kids playing HS on the big stage can tilt me with this plays
Actually I think thats good play. More stats on board and he know his opponent doesn’t have naturalise anyway.
Even if I voted for Viper I have to admit the comeback from Bunny was just awesome....congrats.
Gratz to Bunnyhoppor.
Congrats A83650!!
4 or 5 packs I think.
5 if I get it right: 1 by default, 1 for qualifying to quarterfinals, 1 for qualifying to semifinals, 1 for qualifying to finals and 1 for winning
Four, winning the final doesn't award additional packs.
Do you know where I can find the deck list?
Thx
Top of the page, third section.
I thought Dog will have good performance in this tournament so on my main acc I voted Dog, but this is not good solution to put all eggs in one place, so on my twink I voted A83650 - I will get 3 packs (if I counted right).
Exactly why I didn't join all the NA sheep who picked Dog. His play was weak in playoffs and I felt like he just beat up on a field or more sub-par opponents. A83650. Picked this guy from his performance in the EU playoffs.
ikr! I picked Bunnyhoppor also bc of his performance at the playoffs (it was either him or Turna)
