Some news, concerning the future of the Class Master tournament

If you want to rush to the main question of my thread go to the bottom where it says "The question is". 

Going through the data gathered from the two rounds of the Class Master tournament hosted at the Norwegian site 121gameon, I came to some constructive conclusions that are now helping me plan my next tournament opening. The devs and CEOs at 121gameon are currently trying to reach some collaborations between them and other companies focusing mainly on the CS:GO (Counter strike) title. Hearthstone does not seem to be their main focus at the moment and my demands for upgrading both my tournament and player experience within it have not been answered. 

Another problem that needs to be taken care of are the so called "leeches". Players who participate into the tournament but never play/attend their games, while "leeching" the small amount of cash that land with their finishing position. These people degrade both the tournament and player experience in it and are one of the main problems I'm currently dealing with at 121gameon. For some reason (I suspect why) such players are allowed to exist within the site while there could easily be taken actions against such culprits, preventing them from joining the site's specific tournaments. 

I love my tournament! I mean the official site is a living proof of that! So, it is only natural to want to take it to the next level! And I would love to see participation from all sort of skill levels as I want to bring them together with other players of equal skill. I still do not have a clear view of how I will achieve that but I wanted to start by creating a healthy player base full of hearthstone enthusiasts who would love to take part in a well organised tournament where they could also pick their preferable day and time to play their games. 

If we managed to create a small community of people that would be interested in constructing the body of that tournament, maybe then small sponsors could be attracted also. And if our player base grew more, sponsors of higher prestige could also be interested in participating in the tournament. But we need to start from somewhere.

So, the question is, how many of you would be interested in participating in a Hearthstone tournament or championship that:

1. Could allow you to pick your preferable time and day to play your games?
2. Could start maybe nationally, playing against players from your own country?
3. Could listen to your suggestions?

If any of you are interested, please post in this thread (no obligations attached whatsoever):

• Your Hearthstone tag name (I will add you in my Hearthstone friend list)
• Your preferable Hearthstone Class
• Your country and city of residence 
• Any thoughts or suggestions on the matter (optional but you are most welcome!)

This is an open invitation to all players that would love to be part of the Class Master tournament or a well organised Hearthstone tournament that is not only for the Masters but can embrace all the enthusiasts of the game! Please let your friends know about this! Share the love and let us try to create something beautiful together!

Depending on how this thread goes, I will make my next decisions for my championship.

Thank you for your time.

   Hello friends,

   I was not sure if I should post this here or not but I just wanted to share my thoughts with you on the matter. As you all probably already know there is war between Ukraine and Russia. Now, the issue is that in my Class Master tournament the vast numbers of players are from Ukraine and Russia! On one side I see them playing Hearthstone under my tournament and on the other side... war. But lets drop that too. We're in Hearthstone forums so I will not go deeper into stating my thoughts and conclusions on that. What is war, who actually benefits and who pays for it dearly... I want to express myself on the seriousness of the matter but I won't! Instead I'll focus on an issue I'm dealing with the tournament now that the war has started.

   The issue I got is practical and insignificant compared to what is happening in the world right now but nevertheless I need to address it because I want to be fair to the players that dedicated hours of their lives playing in my tournament. I got Zoltan, my top player from Ukraine being the Class Master of 7 classes which means that the winners from each Sunday tournament will challenge his thrones on each of the classes he's currently a Class Master of. What do I do as an organizer now that his country is at war and he's unable to play, unable to attend his matches and defend his titles?

   I'm thinking of postponing the whole tournament. I do not feel good knowing that the majority of players are at war and I'm here organizing and playing the tournament like nothing is happening. It feels off and I feel really awful. Another option I'm considering is to keep the tournament going with every class each Sunday, pronounce the challengers and postpone only the throne matches. I don't know... I really don't know.

Anyway I just wanted to share my thoughts just to give you a heads up on what's happening with the future of the Class Master tournament. I did not want to end it abruptly without saying anything about it. 

stay safe

Hey there guys, had a brief chat with a guy you might be familiar with, Sevasmios, here on Hearthpawn and I had some extra thought on what he suggested to me. He thought it would be a good idea to open the tournament for North America too and that there could be an interest from Hearthstone enthusiasts there to participate in it. I also had a talk with the guys at 121gameon, the site that hosts my tournament test runs and they are open for North America. They are not willing to brake the US or Canada into states for now though. This means that players from NA who create an account on 121gameon will be marked as either USA players or CANADA players. My tournament promotes regional ladders such as countries for Europe and states for NA. They promised me that if there is significant participation they will do it. If I start it there I will also try to start it free for you guys, no entry fee at all! <3 

My only concern is that although I have such great love to provide you with a meaningful and lasting tournament/championship, it might not be enough to deliver you the best experience due to a heavier workload. Having to deal with Europe alone is time consuming as it is, if NA comes into play too... I don't know. I want to do it so much but I'm a bit reluctant at the moment. 

Anyone want to share any thoughts with me on the matter, please feel free to do so. Just wanted to let you know of what was in my head concerning my Class Master tournament the last couple of days.

P.S anyone who hasn't voted yet, please vote, it helps me "calculate" better my future championship!

Quote from ArcyroX >>

However, I dont like the goofy stuff about the class, at all. Paladins should be all about righteousness, epicness, and fighting for the holy cause. I really like that aspect.

 Exactly my thinking too! I've also selected Paladin and you couldn't have said it better. Even though I don't have any great paladin decks I would choose Paladin 10 out of 10 times! More so if I had to choose one class only. It's a shame that they treated paladin this way. On the other hand some may say this is classic Blizzard humor.
