sure, on stream he sometimes makes really stupid missplays and his deck choices for tournaments are not always the best (which shows his balls), but overall imo there is no guy that has that much knowledge about the game and thus he is feared in all tournaments ^^
thijs is a very strong player in the decks he is used to, but kolento just knows like EVERY match up
People seem to be conflating how well people play this card game to how intelligent someone is. Honestly, I'm of the opinion that none of them are that smart. Kolento and Trump have that high functioning autistic vibe to them so I'm inclined to say one of them, but I've heard Life Coach was a poker player, so probably him.
Maybe It's my intellectual snobbery (I'm a proff) pushing me to go with this but anyone who devotes their time to solely playing videogames for money really isn't that smart.
Since I haven't watched too many streamers I will have to judge by the streamers I've watched which are:
Trump Noxious Kripparrian Amaz Cherrywarrior
Of those I would say Kripparrian is the best player, no question about it, Trump was the one who got me into watching streamers, but I've outgrown him in skills I guess, because I can't stand watching him due to him making sooo many misplays and then trying to be funny while saying it was planned/have some kind of excuse...it's just awkward :P
Noxious doesn't really pay too much attention to the game all of the time so he makes rushed misplays, but his amount of hilarious plays/decks as well as his personality makes him still quite enjoyable to watch, but not really "the smartest".
Amaz is trying to be cute too much and his screechy voice + sudden outbursts makes my ears hurt...he sometimes makes some incredible hard-to-see plays, but he's too certain of stuff, especially when he's wrong...he's a bit too...much I guess :P
Cherrywarrior makes a lot of misplays, probably too much tea, but he plays only arena and is quite good at drafting so still somewhat enjoyable.
Kripparrian is the master of perfect plays IMO...we see 3 different plays where we are certain about one of them being the best, he will very often see a 4th or even 5th play that is even better...it's pretty crazy sometimes!^^ He is amazing at turning the RNG% as best in his favor as possible, but he's pretty damn unlucky most of the time so he still get screwed..which is fucking hilarious!^^

What is Hearthstone to you? A fun and semi-competitive game with wacky effects and crazy RNG outcomes or just a card game you wanna grind as many wins you can get as fast as possible in?
In terms of hs knowledge, probably Kolento or StrifeCro. In terms of general intelligence, I would say Sottle. This is obviously just counting the ones I know of course.
I used to watch a lot of Lifecoach. He used to walk you through his train of thought for each play and justify each move. I think BM Keibler is really good at teaching.

My final vote is Total Biscuit.
The top hearthstone streamers make between 200.000-400.000 a year and forsen probably around 500.000 easily(if his major supporters aren't even around), tell me how much do you make again?
Clearly you have NO idea how much they make.... LOL

Apparently you are the one with no idea Gross gore had about 200,000 followers and it was well known he made over 200.000 a year( there is actually a video of it on youtube) when you combined the sponsorship's, subscriptions, donations and who knows what else. Forsen in one month made over 100.000 with only donations. Twitch is about the same as youtube if you are popular enough you make some serious cash.
[in reply to the original reply to my post] I knew someone would misconstrue my point, in fact, I invited it. I know people here might be slightly stupid, but be so kind as to give it a little more thought.
The equity of an individual has no correlation to their intelligence. Simply put, they have a brief but financially beneficial window in which do something which, although it has very little impact on the world, nets them reasonable amounts of money. Hence, when I say most of them probably are not intelligent I don't see any evidence to the contrary.
As to my own financial situation, well. Let's just say I won't be strapped for cash within the next few lifetimes. Turns out Streamers aren't the only ones Owho can make a lot of money through just talking. One things for sure, I'd take my job over the life as a streamer any day of the week.
Kripparrian, the best all around HS player in the history of the game. He was the first player to ever get to legend and is the winner of all the HS championships.

i definitely go for Kolento

thijs is a very strong player in the decks he is used to, but kolento just knows like EVERY match up
Kolento for love, Kolento for life.
Eloise. She's like Forsen, but Asian, so at least double his IQ. Don't think anyone can top 280 IQ.
Make the Card: The biggest thread on the site!
My mandibles which are capable of pressing down and tearing, my talons which are known to intercept and hold.
Lifecoach, he's also cool and goodlooking, kolento is smart but he's kind of a douche.
Hmm it is hard to decide but my vote goes for kripp with kolento as a strong second place. Trump and amaz should not be on that list.
For me, it's a French streamer : Oliech
(Very) Poor F2P girl :'(
Is there a Prince Charming to offer me Card Packs ? ♥♥♥
How can anyone skipp the Kripp?
