Summer Championship Decks
We've got a dedicated post from last week which includes all the competitor deck lists. Go check them, along with a roundup of the class and archetype breakdowns, and the most popular cards, on the dedicated post .
Summer Championship Stream
All the action can be found on the official stream embedded below. Refer to the schedule above to know when to come back and tune in.
Hope for finals: Pavel:Purple... the final score 0:9001 (OVER 9000) or for the crowd of < 90' - over 11 (Spinal tap reference lost on anyone older) - Pavel is LUCK.... Purple is SKILL and STRATEGY and ADAPTATION.....
Of course I voted for Orange, sure it was his time.
I'm in the same boat. why didn't I trust Pavel?
Turn 12 jade druid with 1/1 jade? Even my sister 6 years old would play better with random moves.
Really hope Purple wins this, just based on that series he just played. Separates the good players from the really good players there, not sure who else would have won there as Uya drew the absolute nuts most games. That and I wouldn't mind some packs. :P
Put your faith in Pavel.
Let's F* Pavel and his random BS luck.... let's give the credit where the credit is due... Purple....
PS. I know that 90% bet on pavel so I totally understand the -10000 rating on this post.... shame....
PS2. I'm actually from Poland so Gooooooo Amyks (he's screwed but hell...)
Sure thing, bro.
If he won like 1 tournament or so, then yes, you could say he was lucky or whatever.
But, he's been one of the most successful players for quite a while, and that's because he's damn good.
Clearly you have not studdie (like I had for the past 8 years) the math probability... Yes you CAN get THAT lucky. Or wait.... wait... he wasn't lycky... he was loosing (like in most games even in 1'st championship - BTW. yes... I'm watching ALL the games) and he SUDDENLY get ahead.... hmmmmmmmm.... No skill... pure luck...
EDIT: Let me guess... It was HONORABLE....
EDIT2 Wow... Almos beat by a GIRL... God bless that RNG draw saved him.... cuz God know he can not win a clean fight....
what does his opponent being female have to do with a card game...an your statement of probability is irrelevant. The fact that everyone plays with the same amount of cards and generally plays the same deck, any RNG would at most be a common denominator
Just because you downvlote it doesn't mean it's not true. Last game ve Beizu or whatever proved it... no RNG - loose... had RNG... won... fucking golden boy,.... that's it... no skill...
If you knew Pavel was "lucky" why didn't you vote for him ?
Just throwing it out there, Its PPS and PPPS respectively.
PS means Post Scriptum in Latin. it means "after having written," So you can say post post post scriptum and it is correct.
Can't believe Nalguidan lost after winning by two games! Here goes my extra packs...
What I'm missing from this post is who is playing who in which day? I mean today what? One pair from each group? If so which pair from what group? Cuz' right now we had 2nd pair from group A and 1st from group A. What next? Or just group A and B and tomorrow rest and then the simi/finals? Any schedule?
I haven't seen any schedule, or at least don't remember it. The original blog post just said 'Group Stage' for today and tomorrow. I expected that we'd see Groups A and B today entirely but it looks like all groups will be playing today. So my new guess is first round from all groups and Winners' matches today, Losers' matches and deciders tomorrow. Quarter/Semi/Finals will be on Sunday, that's for sure.
I watched the A group match and just saw the A group results as a whole. So one is on a stream, and one "in the background". e just ended match 3 from pair 2 group B - and they showed the mid-results form the same group match 2. Shame.... I actually bet on Purple so glad it's on the stream, but I'm from Poland and would like to know what's happening with Amyks... Guess that's not happening....
