Due to the general consensus of the ManaGrind community ( http://us.battle.net/hearthstone/en/forum/topic/9377569549?page=1 ), Druids will be banned from the upcoming tournament. Just to clarify, we are not banning Druids because of a set idea on them being OP but simply to please the majority of voters on this subject as the tournaments are aimed to be friendly and have fun, for now. Again ,this is not a post that confirms that Druids are op but simply that respects the community's feedback.
Thank you all for the responses and see you this Saturday at 4pm EST!
We just wanted to let you know that after some discussion and brainstorming, it was decided that BubbleHearth was to undergo a name change! And so, ladies and gentlemen, we shall henceforth be referred to as MANAGRIND! Just to clarify in case you may be wondering, this name change will not affect ANYTHING when it comes to the events we are organizing community-wise. The tournaments will remain unaffected, and your registrations as well, the Teamspeak is still open for everyone to join ! This is merely the execution of an idea we've been toying around with recently, and finally decided to go through with it! Thank you all for being awesome, and GAME ON!
It has been promised that the Forge simulator will be fixed this week. taken that it will actually work, can we expect some kind of forge tournament as well?
The Big tournament on Saturday will be constructed, as usual, but if the forge db seems to work fine then we will probably be having mini Forge improv tournaments to test it out during the week following tomorrows "main" event. We encourage people to get on ts to be able and participate in the "smaller scale" tournaments as we often have them randomly scattered during weekdays.

I think that the shoutcasting will make far more interesting for viewers on twitch and especially when watching the recording afterwards.
The Druid situation will be decided tomorrow according the the thread on the original forums, I therefore encourage anyone to go post their thoughts on the following link : http://us.battle.net/hearthstone/en/forum/topic/9377569549?page=3
