You did it right, for EU you have to watch it from 4 am to 12 am CET, i got almost 8 hours with yesterday and today brackets, livestream time (since 7 to end yesterday and from 11 to end today), i will watch the finals too and wait until 2 days later before sending a ticket tho, keep you updated
managed to watch till 7:00am GMT last night. watched for 4 hours and a bit then had to sleep. I hope I didn't miss Rogers first game.
Bunnyhoppr was killing it though.
EDIT: ah cool, watching the re-run and it's at the point where I went to sleep. awesome timing.
bout to have it on in the background all week this is hype
I watched from beginning till the end of stream and got one pack? I think it should be 3 packs right?
No, you got it wrong. You get one pack for viewing 4+ hours of the stream, which is a one and done. Then, ''On top of that, 1,500 lucky eligible viewers will be randomly rewarded with an additional Classic card pack every hour. ''
Thnx mate
bad times for europe
This thing 4 hours watching its just disposable or is it every 4 hours one pack?
sadly just one pack. But if you are lucky enough can get an aditional pack from the random reward
For those that play on different regions be advised I only got my pack on the first region I logged on to.
Maybe I was always going to get it on that one, but I don't think so. So just make sure you log in to the one you want the pack to be awarded to.
chat is spamming #pack or #packs constantly. Is there any reason for that???
just twitch chat being stupid again.
Is there any way to track your progress of hours viewed?
Not sure about this other than looking at the time. But I suggest you can leave the stream on while doing other stuff. It goes by really fast. Only one ROS packs is given so accumulating 4 hrs is not hard as there are four days for you to do it.
are the packs gonna be rewarded at the final day of the tournament?
I've got 2 already so You don't have to wait for them ^^
unlike that guy, i got zero
I picked Bunnyhoppor so I guess I have 1 pack since he won his first match. But i got nothing yet. Are you sure these 2 packs you say u have are from HCT?
I got the one for watching 4 hours. Got a message via twitch that I got the drop.
I asked when are we gonna get the packs from our champion's wins mate, not the one for viewing HCT for 4 hours. But thanks anyway
