I've spoken to Blizz via web-chat earlier about this achievement. What's been said about it so far has been correct, namely that:
You can only get the hero through a Fireside Tavern, not just a normal Fireside Gathering
To apply for a Tavern status, you need to have had a public, approved gathering with at least 3 check-ins
Fireside events must be hosted in public locations
Fireside Tavern must be hosted at the same location as your previously approved Gathering
They said that a wi fi connection is likely to be required (the rules require a 'dependable' internet connection, but I'll be testing to see whether mobile internet would suffice to 'check in')
Fiseside "TAVERN" not gathering, a Fireside tavern is when you do a fireside gathering for the second time, check the image on the left if it is:
a lantern = No New hero
A shield = Yes new hero after the brawl
Are we sure about that? When I was registering my event, there was a tick box to confirm whether my gathering was part of the Hallow's End, and the pic had the new Warlock hero on it. Why would this option be present if you could only get the hero on your second hosted gathering?
I have submitted a request for an event in a public park near my house. I plan to go there with 3 devices (my phone, my tablet and my relative's tablet that I'm borrowing) and just sit in my car. I have an extra HS account from getting the Shaman hero... ;D The only issue is that there's no Wi Fi at the park, so I'll have to share my mobile internet. You have to check in at the location somehow, right? I am certain that no one would actually turn up, because of where I live!
I just thought of another way though (if my park idea does not work). Places like Mc Donald's or Burger King (or other public places) often have free Wi Fi with a decent range. My next plan is to register an event at my local Burger King (where I know there's free Wi Fi), then park nearby with my 3 devices (like a loser) and do the thing. :D
My questions are:
1. If I've already earnt the Fireside card back, would I be automatically classed as suitable for hosting a gathering with this reward? Or do I have to essentially 'host' 1 approved event and then the subsequent one would be eligible for granting the Warlock hero?
2. Would 3 'players' be enough to play the Fireside Brawl?
3. Is Wi Fi mandarory or would a shared 3g connection be sufficient?

Great... I just lost dust to craft this deck, without realising that it no longer works FFS! Great. :|
Why is it listed under the new patch? Come on!

OK, thanks! I've created one yesterday, for Saturday. Here's hoping it'll also get approved :)

Was your proposed location a public place? How long did they take to respond, by the way?

I'll keep you guys posted...

Thanks!
Took a couple of tries, but then I killed the boss with a 68-damage minion... ;D
