So innovative. Seriously these are the exact same decks I see and/or play on HS everyday, nothing new. Face Hunter, Handlock, Dragon Priest, and Ramp Druid.
Also what happened with the tournament that made everyone mad? I never got to see it so I'm just sitting here confused.
It was super competitive and Savjz and Forsen were neck and neck. Forsen was behind by a little and queued at the last minute. Savjz did too, since a win should cement the victory. Savjz got a Priest (bad matchup) and had board control early and the priest conceded (albeit a bit earlier than he had too), Savjz was hollering and went over to watch Forsen. Savjz's screen said "Legend 115."
Forsen was playing a druid who had him beat with a Dr. Boom. Except that the druid stopped attacking and let Forsen win over several turns, emoting and making it clear he was letting Forsen win. Savjz was pretty pissed and when Forsen finally won, he landed, amazingly, on Legend 115. On Forsen's screen, Savjz had dropped into the 130s, but on another screen he was 115 and Forsen was 116. Obviously, the fact that legend ranks can change as you sit, made it hard to be accurate.
So they played a best of 3 and Forsen won 2-1, as Face hunter is favored over demon zoolock.
More decks to play with!
So, if what I'm reading is correct, he won? Cool.
He only won cuz of judge. AND BECAUSE A random DRUID GAVE a FREE win to mister forsen.
Savjz got free wins too. Look at the Massan post on reddit for one example. Forsen, Reynad, and Savjz all got free wins throughout the event. The only person who has a right to complain about win-trading is Firebat, since he climbed on his own.
Fluxflashor comment with 7 dislikes? 7 bans incoming.
Just kidding, but if he won, he won. There's no discussion on that. It doesn't matter if he got wins or not, if it was fair or not, I honestly blame the hosts of the tournament: They should have hidden their names, and also, given random names. Forsen has a empire that calls him "dad", there's no suprise that this happened AT ALL. Besides, there was one guy (probabbly a Savjz fan) sniped Forsen 3 times, and roped every turn.
This tournament was 0% fair, but he won. End of the story.
'there were two banning phases'
Forsen, Savjz, Firebat, and Reynad were all banned by Blizzard
