Schedule

The Asia-Pacific Spring Championship runs on June 17 & 18 and it will be streamed on Twitch.tv/PlayHearthstone.
Looking for brackets? Blizzard is hosting them over on Battlefy.

June 17 - Games start at 9 PM PDT (04:00 UTC, 06:00 CEST)
June 18 - Games start at 9 PM PDT (04:00 UTC, 06:00 CEST)

Class Breakdown

Below are some interesting facts about the classes we see in this weekend's event including a pretty pie chart of class distribution.

Hello there old friend! Priest makes a surprising appearance.
Compared to the EU Spring Champs, Paladin and Druid have swapped places.
Shaman, unsurprisingly, remains at the top for most popular class to bring, tied with Warrior.
Heisnotaxel is the only player who didn't bring a Shaman deck, yet brought Paladin and Priest.

Archetype Breakdown

Hunter: All the Hunter decks are Midrange. This is the most popular single deck archetype, just like it was during the EU Spring HCT.
Yogg-Saron: Three Yogg-specific decks are here, 2 of the Mage flavor and another of Druid. Mmmm. Old God Flesh.
Warrior: The widest range of decks from all the classes. Fun!

Can't believe someone had the guts to bring Paladin and Priest. Props to him, even though he didn't win.

warrior variety is a huge design achievement.

However, I'm disappointed by the HUGE cost of EVERY warrior deck, and this is a big design flaw (not a failure): bare variety of good synergies does not create variety of decks in casual/ladder, because cost is a variable you cannot avoid there.

I feel obligated to root for Edward Elric, the dude lost his mother and is fighting to get his brother's body back!

The Shaman himself has made some interesting card choices, only one Flamewreathed Faceless but two Earth Elementals. He also runs Hammer of Twilight but no Doomhammer. Will be interesting to see how well that deck works.

PPH's Mid-range Shaman list is... Rather interesting. It's definitely a MR list, but it's not the typical totem list that's run currently. Would be cool to highlight it!

Earth Elementals, Al'Akir... What fun for the Shaman!
