Update 1:24 PM EDT: Added PlayHearthstone's German tweet, which is different.
More Cryptic News - Champions
The @PlayHearthstone twitter account has tweeted out a new photo and line of text which is in line with yesterday's article.
Quote from @PlayHearthstoneChampions are individuals who courageously answer the call of those who require their aid! (@PlayHearthstone)Ein Champion ist jemand, der all seine Mitstreiter in einem Wettbewerb übertroffen hat.

What will we see July 22?
We've seen a few different pieces of information now leading up to the July 22 announcement.
- July 2 - PCGamer received a scroll in their mailbox mentioning a gathering of champions.
- July 8 - The Hearthstone team posted a blog post talking about happiness in the air, shining armor, and people getting impaled.
- July 9 - A tweet with the picture of a Blood Elf stating champions answer the call of those who need aid.
This information seems to also link up to the recent Hearthstone Commercials that Blizzard have been putting out, which are all staged in a jousting pit - A gathering of armored folk where people get impaled. This however, is pure speculation.
The reason for the downvotes is that it very clearly is not just a new skin. Physical deliveries, weeks of hype - compare that to how the skins were initially announced? Blizzard aren't dumb.
Maybe not dumb, but greedy.
I'd bet my bottom dollar that this next expansion is going to be WoW themed, just you wait and see.
:Kappa:
Would be cool if it is another adventure. Expansion feels too early, looking forward to it for end of the year.
Actually this is not true. The BRM expansion was only pretty weak though. Naxx shaked the meta for few months. BRM had too many dragon-related cards and dragons ended up sadly not being the thing. Thats why it feels so settled. The only cards which are used are a few 3-4 frequently in ranked. Thst was different with Naxx.
They would not be doing this amount of promotion for an adventure though. TV commercials, daily tweets, and even sending special mail to news outlets. Whatever it is, and I'm still betting on an expansion, it's going to be big.
I'd be happy with a new card set to help with my golden Hero grind
The 'girl' is Liandra, no? I'd imagine she'll be released as an alternate Paladin hero along with the expansion pack.
I feel like they're tweeting cards out every day. Just with the picture only, without the card description.
I wonder if the actual content is released July 22.
It is mounts that you can buy with RL money and gives charge to all your minions.
I hope the Argent Tournament is a card expansion like GvG, and not an adventure like Naxx and BRM.
New priest Hero?
"Not Quite what was planned" is the weakest emote! :(
