I watched most of the games and actually attended the Paris one, the warriors never got to see play, they were the #1 ban pick. Hence no need to have hunter in the lineup.
the guy from the UK is very young, right? I mean compared to other HS pro's anyway, sure he's like 15. imagine such an accomplishment at an early age... wonder how you deal with that... I sucked at most stuff at 15 that you would really be proud of anyway, ha ha.
PS: I also love all the agro shamans... all the bitching I've had to listen to for weeks now about being a noob and having a "no skill deck" then all the pros are playing it too... yeah, I think people play it because it's good.
People are never going to stop calling it though, it simply is too good to not get shit off everyone who won't use it. (dragon warrior is better though IMO if you tinker with it to fit your place in the ladder. It requires more thought though as the same version won't always work) I think with Shaman it just runs how it runs and doesn't need much in the way of tech, it probably is a bit OP because of this alone I would say... No deck should be able to face all other decks with no tech choices, this is my opinion anyway. like even zoo has about 7 different tech choices for facing different decks.
No hunter decks? How disappointing.
Staples: Yogg Druid, Zoo Warlock, Aggro Shaman
Surprising Preference: C'Thun Warrior over Dragon
Surprising Inclusion But Not Really, This Is A Tournament: Freeze Mage
Notably MIA: Hunter, Paladin
These are all aggro shamans, I don't know what retard labeled them as totem shamans.
You are right. They all require the same amount of dust even.

Woah, Belarus!
Eziest BlizzCon of our lifes ! #LIKEABAWSE Army
Can someone correct those totem shaman?, they all are aggro,it is just the Xixo version with TFB and tuskar.
#GREEKSTONE FTW
I guess Rexxar is unpopular in the EU server.
well, at least Uther and Rexxar accompany Anduin at home...
it was overtaken by Yogg Druid, which is just a strong deck with no bad matchups depending on how you build it. Midrange Hunter was only good then because a lot of people were playing tempo warrior
8 Warriors (5 control, 2 dragon aggro, 1 Patron).
7 Druids (all Yogg/token).
6 Warlocks (all Zoo).
6 Shamans (5 aggro and 1 concede).
3 Mages (all freeze). <3
2 Rogues (both miracle).
No love for Priest and Paladin. :(
No Hunters either :(
A hearty percentage of the players in the tournament brought the exact lineup Warrior, Zoo, Aggro Shaman, Yogg/Token Druid.
Warrior was the most popular ban strategy, so largely didn't matter which you brought, I don't think DrHippi played many games with his Yogg/Control Warrior.
Most of the other players brought 3 of the 4. This strategy seemed to be slightly more successful depending on how strong your alt deck was against the main meta.
Priest FTW!
