I don't know Hamster but I respect him already.
Hamster's lineup is not that risky compared to FrOzen's. Both his Priest's and Paladin's decks are more reliable than FrOzen's Anti-Warrior Priest and Control Paladin.
He also has Midrange Shaman as a strong back-up. C'Thun Warrior is ok.
I'm more worried about his Ramp Druid, which is the riskiest out of these.
Blizzard owe him at least 50 packs for saving the BlizzCon lineup from being the joke we expected it to be.
Fr0zen made a lot of mistakes in that match that's why he lost
Hamster's Ramp Druid looks like it has some token aspects to it with the Violet Teachers and Power of the Wilds so I'm sure it will do fine.
Group A seems to be the toughest one, at least for me.
Handsome Guy vs. Thijs
This will be one to watch.
