True, that's so obvious that he should be excluded from this discussion. Maybe he fits better on a "most overrated meme streamer for emote spam" thread.
So much hate for Amaz, I love Scamaz. I think he's just like watching one of those talk shows on the afternoon, a bunch of nonsense at times but you won't get easily bored from it or tired from all the salt and constant complaints about everything. Plus he plays mostly Arena, that's already a win for any HS streamer imo.
Regularly Kripp is fine, but salty Kripp is annoying and sellout Kripp leads me to the exit door every single time.
For constructed and as educational streamer I think StrifeCro is the best, Savjz is fine too.
FYI Kripp hasn't won any tournaments because he doesn't play any avidly. His first tournament was almost 2.5 years ago, and it was hosted by curse. He does arena, period, and he is very proficient at it clocking in at 7-9 wins average each run. Constructed wise i see where you come from but no one watches kripp because he hits legend every season(which he doesn't because again he sinks hundreds of hours into arena).
you forgot Kripp. that guy makes way to much missplays, but he is still trying to be educative for the HS community. I srsly can't watch his plays anymore because of those retarded plays, the rage is real :P Love trump btw got legend learning his play style :)
Considering his record in Arena, I think it's more likely that you don't actually understand good plays.

They do "good plays" in arena?
It's getting more rare thanks to the decks getting better over time, but yeah sometimes you get plays that you would never see in constructed and most constructed players wouldn't see either.
But alas, as he has explained before, ladder is boring to him because he has already achieved legend before. Arena, to him, is where the real skill center is because you have to be able to build and pilot a good deck. Does he whine some times? yeah. Dont we all? he isnt fake on his stream. If something pisses him off, he says something about it.
Kripp has never reached legend
That's untrue, he bothered to reach legend once or twice, It's on youtube.
So there are a lot of streamers out there who aren't half as good as they believe to be. Both on ladder and tournaments.
Specifically referring to Forsen, MaSsan and Amaz.
Before you enter your fanboy rage mode, let me point out that we're talking about skill. Not their ability to deliver entertainment.
Yeah I'd watch Forsen and Amaz over Kolento, Strifecro or Trump(players that bring a lot of accurate constructive commentary and their own viable decks) because most of the time I'm seeking a good laugh rather than in depth development of my knowledge of the game.
That being said, Forsen is dreadful at the game, he doesn't make his own decks, at least not successful ones, since he's not a ''tryhard''. Most of the times he's drunk or high on something, hence he has no idea what he's doing. Simply a pro hearthstone player you shouldn't look up to if you wanna become better at the game.
Amaz literally can't do math, leading to a lot of miscalculated plays. Lately he's been going on a little streak of playing a different deck every day quite inconsistently.
MaSsan just missplays a lot in general and acts awkwardly, uncomfortable to watch.
kripp just average arena player. What he have is money, he spend $$$ to have many run.
even 5 year old kid can get everage 7 win when play more than 1000 run. So, no the big deal.
he also bm king. Opponent perfect curve, he said bad player carry by RNG. When self have perfect curve , he said is skill. He need to learn how to respect the opponent.
Your comment only makes you look like a incompetent jerk. Kripp is undoubtedly one of the best arena players if not the best, stats don't lie. Kripp is always sitting at around 7.4-7.8 wins average which is huge considering snipers. Hafu is good, Merps is better, Kripp is the best.
My least favourite is Amaz. While not too bad at games, he often miscalculates and misses lethal, which sometimes lead to defeat. He also overreacts a lot and that bothers me. I see him screaming in his chair with his hands in front of his eyes, because he can't take a flamestrike on a full board against him or something like that. Some people find that funny, but that's the exact reasonI don't watch him a lot.
My favourite streamer is P4wnyhof. He calculates his damage, and the damage he outputs next turn, and generally has great humour.
I don't watch a lot of different streamers though, I rather use the time to rank up.
everyone who is mentioning P4wnyhof does not seem to know about his background right ?

Moronic fanboy detected. His stats are actually pretty shit considering that he plays arena 5 x times more than rest of the people in blizzard stats.
Arena doesn't work like this idiot. Although it requires more skill than ranked play, RnG is still the biggest factor for winning or losing the game.
You think 7.4-7.8 average in Arena is pretty shit? Everyone says that they have over 7+ average in Arena but only handful of people actually achieve this. Wait until Blizz releases Arena stats and you will see none of the other Arena streamers will make Top 10 but Kripp.
You may not like Kripp. You might think that he is salty all the time, but if you say he is not good then you are just a low life who don't have a clue what the hell you talking about.
@formulas666; I'd argue Arena isn't inherently more or less skillful than Ranked (they're both difficult at the top levels in different ways), but other than that I'd agree with you. If anything Kripp's win percentage over that large of a sample size is insanely great, and I'll be curious to see what top 100 looks like; Merps/Hafu have been recurring names on top NA arena players for a long time so I'd expect them there. Not sure how they could build out a competitive circuit for Arena but I imagine that's got to be the next step after they reduce the curve-reliance in Arena.

I am not mentally able to listen to Amazzazzaz nor Pownyhoof just because of their voices; nothing else. Do tell, DontBmad! Did they get a voice job!!?
What is the point of this thread? No, seriously what is the point if one cannot look past one's choice?
Basically, some people here want others to like their choice and vice-versa. If you don't, they end up arguing and getting personal.
I like Kripp. He is a very good arena player. When he plays ranked, he tries random fun decks. He is actually pretty good in ranked too and can hit legend just like every other player. Thing is, he just doesn't like doing the same thing over and over again. He is already so done with the game, but it's his work, so he streams.
Now, Kripp haters or people who disagree can just skip past the post and share your thoughts instead of getting personal. Jeez.
Apart from that, I do watch Thijs, Savjz, Amaz, Kibbler and sometimes Day9, DisgusedToast & Lifecoach. Most of them on Youtube.
Thijs usually plays good decks and he is a more of a competitive streamer. Savjz stream is kind of fun. His videos are very well edited and make me watch every day. Amaz is AMAZ. Just for those insane lucky matches. Some cringe when he does over the top with his voice. Kibbler is just cool. I don't really always find his video that good, but he is always so relaxed when playing. The music is soothing. Day9, DisgusedToast & Lifecoach when they pull something crazy.
Cannot stand:
Forsen - mainly because of his music choice and his stream is always filled with retarded memes and shite. P4wnyhof - positive character but the stream is just boring. Reynad - always salty.
Neutral: Strifecro and Trump. Nothing to hate. Very good players don't show off, always focussed and do what they do best. These are guys to watch if you want to learn more about decks and game. Not fun, but you learn.
Betrayer... In truth, it was I who was betrayed. Still, I am hunted. Still, I am hated. Now, my blind eyes see what others cannot: that sometimes the hand of fate must be forced! Now go forth... unleash the tides of Doom... Upon all those...who would oppose us.
forsen1 forsen2 forsen3 forsen4
To be honest Forsen actually is not a terrible player like people say in fact i rarely see him making obvious misplays as often as others do.
(Not counting those old streams where he was drunk or whatever but whoever watched him lately may notice that he plays real good)
So much hate for Amaz, I love Scamaz. I think he's just like watching one of those talk shows on the afternoon, a bunch of nonsense at times but you won't get easily bored from it or tired from all the salt and constant complaints about everything.

I *** hate "Tapsen" and his chat

Best Priest player and the twitch channel with the best music is easy: Zetalot. Come for the music, stay for the salt!

Whenever I hear "pro Hearthstone player" I can't help but cringe
You can't stop the signal.

They all played on tournaments and reached legend many times so... WTF is this thread? Calm down!
"... but not less than (1)" is needed now more than ever!
Totally agree with Massan, and Forsen, too, but he is entertaining and worth watching.
Amaz though, I don't know, he is trying to be extremely entertaining. I think he makes a lot of mistakes on purpose.
