Golden Celebration Card Back Rewarded to HCT Participants

Oh the infamous Golden Celebration card back..

Originally stated to be a China only reward, a few Hearthstone pros have commented on Twitter this afternoon stating they had received it upon logging into the game. Players who have participated in the Hearthstone Championship Tour championships appear to be the recipients.

Damn, this is a nice card back, the best one by far. Wish I could get enough HCT points so I can qualify and upgrade my legend card back, but I doubt I will ever get to that point.

Welp, atleast they found a use for it outside of that very specific region-based scenario.

You're acting like an entitled brat, that is why you were downvoted. I do not think that needed to be specified but since you asked...

OF COURSE I'M SALTY (PISSED ABOUT THIS) !!! I'll never be " pro " at this game but I like it....so my thing is getting all of the 'collection' I can!! What if ya bought a game and the maker of 'said game' decided, "We don't think your good enough to play the last 3 levels, so you don't get them in your game" ... It's the same thing Blizzard is doing ........................

Plus the people who seem to receiving this back DIDN'T DO ANYTHING SPECIAL !!!! Oh they entered a tournament that they got paid to enter buy a team that pay's them to do this !!! /shacking Head

Playing is something you're entitled to - Actually, not all that much considering that game is free.

Rewards are something you earn.

Case closed.

Also, saying pro players didn't do anything special to get into that tournament is like saying athletes didn't do anything special to get into the Olympics ( All scales aside ).

Saying that is just a lil Ill-informed...... If I had the time ... OR ANY ONE FOR THAT MATTER......and had a 50.0000001% win rate, we/they'd be pro. Being "pro" is nothing special....just means ya don't have a real L^$f........ !!!!!!

Why are ALMOST ALL.....IF NOT EVERY......pro gamer the age they are (23 or younger)???   THEY HAVE NO OTHER RESPONSIBILITIES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh my god there's so much salt here. Are you seriously complaining that some of the top players in the world received an in-game cosmetic reward for competing in one of the top tournaments? You do understand that is something literally anyone can do if they're good enough. There's no gender, age, race, educational or any other restriction other than can you play and win the tournaments required to qualify. Get over yourself buddy.

No, it's not the same. Card back is only cosmetic award, and this one should highlight the fact you're really good in this game. I like free rewards like this for the best players. And what about me and you, there are bunch of other nice card backs, right? :)

You can still be happy if you face someone with this card back and defeat him.

Lifecoach is a pro player. Has 23+ years, has a kid, wife, and plays a lot of hearthstone (see seatstory cup V, he went with his family). If that's having no real life, then something is pretty wrong with you, kid.

Also, what Komorebi3 said.

totally agree.most of player does not have the expenses to travelling to end of world. we need study or working in our life, most pro player are either lucky to have sponsor or born in rich family. they get the expenses from them to join the tourney.

how many top 100 player afford to join all the tourney? some player remains in high legends but never join tourney . ie: eu top 50, tourney 2016 in UK. no money and time to transport to uk. visa problem, family issue. all end up forfeit the match.

blizzard should give at least set this card back as the top 100 rewards.

OK Blizzard so the one card back I knew I'd never get....and a lot others...ya just burnt me on!! I'm not Asian and I don't fly...so I knew getting this back was impossible !! ( I have every other back) .... However now Blizzard has the nerve to pick out who is special or not to get special rewards!!!!!

F^#K you Blizzard......seriously debating playing your money grubbing games any longer !!!!!!!

edit:
Hey COWARDS!!!!! Don't down vote with out having the NERVE (b%lls) to state why. MAN UP DAMMIT !!! I did !!!!!
