I'd love too see official stats on the number of players playing this week vs the average tavern brawl, too bad that's never gonna happen. 

 Well obviously there'll be significantly fewer people. Not many people have gold to spare. That doesn't mean the brawl os a failure. In fact, quite the opposite. This Brawl is clearly meant to cater to more experienced players who want a higher stakes experience and good ridance! As Reynad said, almost everything gameplay related that's been added since release has catered to casual players which make up the majority of the player base. I think its great that they're finally throwing higher level players a bone for once and people who are complaining about this brawl being unfair or too expensive are just being childish.

 The problem is that they take a hugely popular mode to run it. If they added a tournament mode alongside the regular tavern brawl this week most of the negativity would disappear. 

 WAah, you don't get to play Brawl for one week. Compare that to the higher level players who have been waiting for something like this for literally years. It's not a big deal.

Yeah I'm sure those 10-15 pro streamers who've been waiting for this totally made up for the thousands of thousands who enjoy Tavern Brawl and the free pack and got shat on this week.

It blows my mind to no end that you can't hear how childish you sound right now. 

Everyone who plays the game is inportant. You can't JUST cater to your biggest demographic.

 Now THIS is childish. It's like you have no idea how the real world and businesses alike work.

 So you're complaining that Blizzard isn't just made up of cheap money-grubbing assholes. Get your priorities straight. People get to feel so priveliged when they're in the majority.

I made a Monte Carlo simulation. I simulated 100.000 games with players of equal strength (50% winning chance each game).

Result: Each player has to pay 1.000 gold to win on average 4.38 packs (= 438 gold), 107 dust, 107 gold and 0.04 legendary (= 119 dust).

Wait what?! Pay 1.000 gold to win 545 gold and 226 dust on average?!

Another nice-to-know: Only people that make 7 or more wins will win more than they paid. But that's only 9.2% of all players...

So... Nice try Blizzard, but I will save my gold for something else :-)

Going Strawman on me isn't gonna make you look any smarter.
And also Blizzard IS mostly made up of cheap money-grubbing assholes, otherwise they would have lowered the entry fee of this and implemented it alongside the normal brawl, together with not staking the odds against the players like they did (absurdly high win % required to break even).

So, any world first 12-0 or 12- whatever?

Why should they be catering to any demographic here? My argument is that it should be run as a separate thing not replacing Brawl for no real reason. 

One more way for blizzard to have a jab at your wallet. Thought it was gonna be like a free arena, guess I did not understand.

This week's Tavern Brawl is: Blizzard Being Greedy Bastards!

Blizzard is a "for-profit" company. Blizzard is not greedy...they are doing what companies are designed to do...make a profit.

Aaah, the usual ignorant bullshit that always shows up every now and then.
Yes companies exist for profit. No that doesn't excuse them being greedy assholes trying to milk their customers. You can exist for profit AND not treat your customers like cows to squeeze and scam.
Are they being "greedy assholes" here? Definitely. The odds for this Tavern Brawl are overwhelmingly staked in favour of the house, no free pack this week, absurdly overcosted fee to enter, and the packs awarded are from the least relevant expansion by today's hearthstone.
Could this have been done better while still being "for profit"? Yes.
They are greedy assyholes.

As with gambling, not worth it.

 And I'm saying that crying because they didn't is silly.

This would be best brawl if everyone got a free play

Why the fuck did this take the place of the brawl? I just want my free pack! Why not make this an entire new gamemode? I'm completely fine with giving the more veteran players their own gamemode. But why take the beginner's gamemode away because of it?

12 wins (4 golden legs + 3 regular in total) ~3300 dust

This was definitely a blast, hope Blizz decides to implement something like this as a regular tournament-style mode.

 Do you get your classic pack for your first completion like regular TB?

Guys, I figured it out! This is the 75th Tavern Brawl, AKA: The Quarter Quell. Makes sense why they made it the heroic tavern brawl!!

Half Life 3 Confirmed :D

The last few Tavern Brawls have been pretty lackluster. This week, it's an outright failure. I'd bet money that no more than 15% of the population played it.

I watched some streamers doing the brawl, it's shamans, warriors and a few lost druids. It's basically ladder with an insane luck needed to get your money back. I guess Pavel should participate, but us regular guys shouldn't, really. Even a good player can't guarantee anything, Amaz, Savjz and Forsen got abysmal results, Firebat capped at 9 wins. Keep your money/gold for the expansion guys.

Blizzard is a "for-profit" company. Blizzard is not greedy...they are doing what companies are designed to do...make a profit.

Stop believing the lie that our culture pushes on mushie minds that profit is evil. Without profit...companies will end up like Circuit City, Comp USA, or Blockbuster...on a list of has-beens. If Blockbuster was still in business...that would be 60,000 people who had a job with them still getting a paycheck. You like pay checks?
