Hearthpwn

Well 2 set packs + 2 classic packs from twich, not bad.

Felt sorry for the two guys that brought warrior and hunter.

Whole tournament was a shitshow. Just mages and rogues (since they countered mages). My favorite match was the mage who on turn 6 had 36 mana worth of minions of the board (If you value Mountain Giants and Grave horrors as 8 mana).

Conjuring's Calling is currently a cancer in the game. Fighting against mana cheat isn't fun. Hell, I've had a game where the enemy mage was able to cast it 8 times due to finding it with magic trick and cyclone. It's cheap, twinspell, and creates too much value.

I would not be surprised if Blizzard seriously considered nerfing or Halling CC come next rotation.

That's probably one good thing about Specialist format: It exposes super-meta-defining class cards more prominently than Conquest, which tends to expose neutral ones (though it can expose class ones, like The Caverns Below).

Funny how every comment is always something like: "He had good RNG", "Perfect curve" or "His RNG was sh*t". It's sad that pro players are always remembered by the incredible luck they had during matches, mainly because HS is a clown fiesta when it comes to RNG. 

Now if you look at Magic The Gathering, pro players are actually insane because they make amazing plays and that's what they are remembered for (Hello Pavling Book!).

I'd like to see "a little" less RNG in Hearthstone. It would make games more fun to watch because it usually comes down to better RNG. 

Kolento , never lucky...  deserved a spot in semi final

Then go to a chess forum and complain about Rausis, because all you want to do is complain anyway.

Nothing exemplifies luck = preparation + opportunity more than Hearthstone.

Just wanted to point out how disgustingly lucky hunterace is, that's it.

Haven't read the post or comments yet, just now got to watching Feno's final and now watching Frozen and Purple's.

Was really disappointed by Hunterace getting eliminated, but I really can't think of anybody but Feno that deserves the title more. He's been stomping EU (that was arguably the hardest region) all through the season and while I saw very little of his matches I kept seeing him at the top week in and week out. He's a really fenomenal (no pun intended) player and I'll be looking for him to succeed in the global at Blizzcon.

Will be rooting for Hunterace and to a lesser extent, Bunny in season #2... They deserve a spot.

Unfortunately the last game he never had a single chance of winning because Seiko's draw. It was pretty much the perfect aggro dream curve. Only reason he won that other game was because he RNG'd into the best two 4 drops possible and ran away with it from that point. Those games were a serious RNG clown fiesta. I was very disappointed watching them as there was very little decision making going on.

Yeah, well, we saw how that game is supposed to go with Feno that had almost the exact same deck and went 3-0 easily. To be fair, he also had great draws, but when the draws are awesome for both sides, Mage usually wins. 

I think saying there was very little decision making is selling both players short, though. Mage vs Rogue has a lot of checks and balances made from the mulligan onward. Cyclone mage in general is a tough deck to play.

Rogue is the more consistent deck, though, that's where the wins are found, and Seiko did.

Did you open an account just to post one useless comment?

He played Mage about half the weeks and Rogue in the others, and even if he did play only mage that means taking great advantage of the new format, even if he wasn't an awesome player that hardly made any mistakes ever.

So what was wrong with Fr0zens deck?

He submitted a list with 1 Preparation and played with 2 of them... Probably an honest mistake, yet a collosally big one. 

The thing is, he threw that preparation during the game, which means he didn't even need it when he won. That's a real shame, even if that disqualification was justified.
