Heroic Tavern Brawl is Not Happening this Week
Blizzard has confirmed that we will not be seeing Heroic Tavern Brawl this week...
Quote from @PlayHearthstoneJust to clarify: The Heroic Tavern Brawl is not happening this week. #soon
But We'll See it Before BlizzCon!
Thanks to Ben Brode, we do know that it is slated for before BlizzCon. That means either next week or the week after. Mark your calendars for October 26th and November 2.
Quote from Ben BrodeReally curious as to why the HS team didn't save Heroic tavern brawl announcement for BlizzCon.
Because it's coming out before BlizzCon
It's the first time in over 20 years when Blizzard says "soon" and I really, really, REALLY... don't care.
This is how Heroic Brawl will pan out.
1st time - many people play it. Most lose money. The smart players knowingly stay out.
2nd time - the average and below average players don't enter because they lost money last time. The decent and above average people slide down and lose money.
3rd time - the above average players don't enter because they lost money last time. The high skill/legend players are the only ones left. Suddenly they're not coasting anymore and they're going 3-3. They figure out that only the high rank people are left.
4th time - barely anyone enters. The format dies.
This is what happens when you make a play mode in which the average player loses money. This is also called terrible design.
i think streamers would take advantages by playing this brawl, i'm sure i will not waste money on this, but i'm very curious to see other players on this, and this is a good chance for new streamer become famous by getting 12 wins as soon as possible
That is if it actually appears one more time.
I think they have some purpose with that:
Have a matchmaking improvement to Arena / Beta testing of some Tournament mode
Make people spend a shootload of money (either real or ingame currency), so they will have to scavenge up money before they draft again
Test what decks are the mostly played; what cards to remove from the further Arena matches
THIS. is. so. true.
So... hello webspinners brawl.....
Bite your TONGUE!
I heard you liked a lot the banana brawl an randomonium... Let's repeat one of those...
yay we will get a free pack this week after all :D
I don't think it's replacing the normal Tavern Brawl system, unless I am wrong.
Sort of wrong... it replace the normal brawl system when it is active. So essentially this is a pay to play brawl that will roll out from time to time (translation: when Blz need some cash, lol).
Yay. Maybe I can get enough gold in time
Just play arena. Only 20% of heroic brawl players are going to break even. The risk is just not worth it.

Because they want take all our gold before the exp launch.
OP said "they want to take all our gold" - that's the complaint I'm questioning. A business which sells you something is not "trying to take all your money," as you still have the freedom to refuse to buy their product.
Win 5 Tavern Brawl games-guest on Heroic Brawl week is the most expensive quest ever.
