Americas Summer Playoffs Stream
I think it's rather embarrassing that there is still no resume from replay. Luker was ahead in one of his games vs Nalguidan, but Luker got disconnected and lost the re-match. Technical issues shouldn't have this big of an impact on the outcome of games. Blizzard implemented this feature years ago for StarCraft 2. I understand that they want to keep Hearthstone simple, but this feature could be offered in a dedicated tournament client that the average player will never use.
Also viewing-wise Hearthstone is poorly equipped for e-sports, with the card views of both players being created by composing two spectator views rather than having a dedicated tournament spectator view like for example Faeria has (a game actually made by a small indie company).
Happy for Purple !
Young savage goes home. No savage on blizzcon.
No Kolento = no tournament xD
Monsanto got 1 win
Victory for the meme players
nice game, players are 25 rank/
Easy quest druid lul!
No packs = No watch
They'll have one for the Summer Championship without a doubt.
Doing choose a champion during playoffs with over 80 players is kinda lame.
Bahh, who cares?
Ehm
Class-wise, the usual suspects still dominate but at least
Yeah Jade druid isn't as invincible as some think at this point. Last weekends top 8 had some players targeting Druid and taking it down with relative ease.
