Bunnyhoppor freepacksmachine!
How many packs do we get now that he lost in quarterfinals?
He lost in the semi finals, and 3.
drops aren't live tonight? did they say there would be no drops during the final?
Ditto
Thanks. I just noticed that. Happy to watch it again right now.
Did anyone see the same game I saw this morning? 5am EST, I was late to work because of Languagehacker vs Killinallday. It was the warrior vs shaman game and it was a doozy. Talk about draw a line in the sand and no one gives an inch. That was one hell of a game. If you ever wanted a lesson in how to get unlimited value out of hagatha or just how to play shaman just watch this game. I mean Killinallday put on a show as well and was definitely no slouch with Dr. boom. But in the end Languagehacker prevailed (partially due to running Elysiana) and avoiding bombs. Overall it was an amazing game, I would be willing to watch it again if I see its available via youtube.
Edit: Just watched all games in the match. That was the nuts, nuff said.
They're on a rebroadcast right now on the twitch channel!
So far (quarterfinal) I'm loving this tournament:
Qualified: Hunterace, JustSaiyan, Viper and BunnyHoppor (which I voted for)
Eliminated: Killingallday, Roger
Getting 4 packs for watching is just icing.
Seems like it doesnt work on Mobile? I have watched like 8 hours on my phone and have not received my RoS pack.
areyou sure that, on your phone, you logged twitch with an account linked to Hearthstone?
it does.
drops work only on pc or on mobile too?
it works on the phone. I watched ~3,5h through my phone (own data) and received the pack immediately after finishing on pc.
thanks
very happy that Roger (the cheater) is out
many players too
One pack players
TGXiaot, BlootTrail, killinallday, muzzy, A83650, Ike, Roger and Tyler
I voted roger, wish I knew that vipers decks countered his. I heard rogers decks countered everyones and thats why I voted him.
should have just went with bunnyhoppr like my gut told me.
Bunnyhoppor ftw!!! Packs incoming!!!
