So..... Pavel defends his title? Idk, man xD this feels like.
*sigh*
Lol, I gotta say. It's refreshing to see someone other than me is stupid enough to vote for him! Again. :(
Of course, since I voted for him, he's guaranteed to lose in his first bracket.
This is not world championship... he's not defending his title...World Championship is in January if I remember correctly since they moved it away from Blizzcon
I missed yesterday's game. Did they say Pavel is moving forward?
Well, if he isn't then a lot of folks will be getting a few free packs, myself included. Just cause I expect the worst doesn't mean I don't hope for the best. XD
After watching his match against that female player, I was really upset about this "everlucky" Pavel...
But after sleeping about it and doing some research, I gotta say that he is just a very strong player. Luck should always even out over time
[with the notable exception of Schalke 04, but that's another matter :( ].
Then again, I hope Purple crushes the field. Need damn packs.
I watched his video where he acts all holier than thou saying hes the best. "pick me if you want to win free packs" I picked someone else to spite him and then I would be able to get on here to gloat that at least I didn't pick a loser.
Now I feel like the loser. I was wrong. I should never doubt the power of Pavel.
Don't be like me people. Don't be a loser.
Forget everything I said when I first posted this. I picked orange! I picked Orange! I am not a loser. I'm very glad I picked the right guy!
Pavel is not only winning us packs he also mines huge amount of salt for mother Russia.
Mined so much that we have problems moving it around, as stated in the news report yesterday. Glory to komrad Pavel!
I chose cocosasa because he is a fat guy with glasses aka probably spends all his time gaming (that ought to make him good right?). HE is doing so bad...
SURRENDER <3 Packs are coming...
Blizzcon Special Mystery Golden Legendary Card confirmed!
SALTY? xaxaxaxaxaxa
Trunks, it is the time to turn itself into the legendary SHP (Super HearthStone Player) and give who believe in you some packs.
I'm pretty sure nobody here has voted for Pavel. (sarcasm)
