Lots of 0 packs. me included.
Voted my compatriot Jasonzhou. FeelsBadMan for seeing two Chinese players facing each other this early.
What about amneciacs?? he got my vote!!!
Go Team Canada I got lucky and picked the only Canadian in the field that he made the top 8. Yay Cydonia!
Thijs is dead to me.
sod off, mate
blizzard hates china confirmed
Blizzard hates China so much by giving them 4 spots at blizzcon (y)
Amnesiac !!! Get me dem hawt 6 paxs.
Supporting Amnesciac too, get me that free dust for the next expansion boi!
So since the players are allowed to change their decks, when do they have to submit their new lists?
Not certain but they definitely have to be in before Friday :D
I would guess they're submitting on Tuesday or Wednesday. Blizzard should be giving them a short period to take a look back at the group stage.
Amnesia is in the easier part of the brackets, guess he will make it to the finals.
sad, dr hippi vs hotmeowth, should have been a semi final at the least, their skill ratings are certainly higher than topdeckjason and rngonsu
not to mention amnesiac topdecked his way to victory :/
hamster and pavel both played very well I feel, personally rooting for hamster, He won as priest against tempo mage, TEMPO MAGE XX(((
In their defense they did play decks where almost any card they drew was going to have huge value.
Some stats about Group Stage matches, check them out if you're interested: http://www.hearthpwn.com/forums/hearthstone-general/tournaments/175190-blizzcon-2016-group-stage-statistics.
yes sure
All esports matches are available to view for free on Twitch. You can also watch the opening ceremony for free.
The only things behind the paywall are the panels, "talent show", and closing ceremony.
We will have full coverage of all the streamed panels for those without a ticket. We'll also be doing an interview at the con with someone awesome so look forward to that!
It's a bit part of the show you know :)
