I watched a couple of the summer prelim matches but wasn't all that impressed because of so much Yogg. I did see HotMeowth win his spot, and so I picked him as my Champion.
I've watched both of his matches, and a few others this week, and I'm much more entertained and involved than I ever thought I could be. When he used Disciple of C'Thun to ping his own Acolyte of Pain in that game he lost... I knew I'd picked a winner.
I'm more excited to see him win than I am to get TGT packs. Good work Blizz, and good luck everyone!
Well the Thijs upset is pretty much just water under the bridge since it's TGT packs, and the expansion will be cycled out in six months anyway so it won't matter.
I picked Thijs and am really bummed to see him bow out so early. I don't really care about the packs but I think the competition is worse off without him. He is a great player and shouldn't let this get to him too much. He has tons of support and every single pro player has a huge amount of respect for him. He made a couple of misplays but so does everyone. Just wasn't his year.
The only thing i would really question was his decision to bring zoo instead of CW. He got himself into a position where he had to beat CW with zoo which is a hard enough ask without your opponent having god draws. Maybe he should have queued up with zoo for his first game. And imo, CW just lines up better against more of the decks you generally see at tournaments.
Anyway, I've been really impressed with the overall level of play. Almost every game has been incredible to watch and whoever goes on to win this will absolutely deserve to. Amnesiac and che0nsu have Impressed me the most, hope one of them goes on to win it.
Picked Amnesiac, and he's secured me two packs so far =D
Actually 3 ;)
How do you figure?
1 for just voting, 2 for winning two group matches, if I'm not mistaken. And then 1 for quarter finals, 1 for semi finals and finally 1 for being the champion, which makes it 6 in total.
Edit: Now that I'm thinking, you probably didn't consider the first pack we get from voting, since everyone gets it automatically. So yeah, he secured us 2 packs :)

I voted Amnesiac too, but where can I keep up with the progress he has made?
The thing is that i rooted for hotmeowth vs thjis grand finals, and that is no longer possible!
The packs are not important, it is a bonus for sure, but for me the important thing is that I wanted to make hotMeowth make funny faces upon yoggs and typical HS-Esports stuff hahaha.
And yes. I happened to pick Thijs, but what's up? At least I got chicken PogChamp
The tournament is being fun to watch, and the best is yet to come!

Picked Amnesiac, because his line-up seemed really solid against many of the other matches, just ban Mage or shamman when they are present and he has a good chance to win, he's little weak against cheonsu's lineup but that's just one bad match-up out of 16, and that match-up wasn't in his group stage anyways which is pretty good.

Puck yo Firates
I picked ThisjNL... You know how that turned out...
He knew it was a loss against OmegaZero's Token Druid... That play was the one I called as strongest and by Yogg, he did it!
Puck yo Firates
I picked HotMEOWTH as well with no ets
The most amazing play of the first window was a Yogg play when the opponent had 3 health left. When Yogg cast' Sinister Strike I flipped.

Greatness, at any cost.
