Tavern Trivia
Powered by Streamer Showdown and hosted by Ben Brode, this version of Tavern Trivia pits two mighty streamer teams against each other in a feud for the ages. This isn’t just a simple test of Hearthstone knowledge—you’ll have to really get into the minds of the viewers for this one. If you’re in the audience, you may be asked to join the teams on stage! Tavern Trivia starts Saturday, November 4 at 5:45 p.m. PDT. Check out the familiar faces participating below.
It is almost certain that it is not. A one time only golden collectible like the other card rewards previously.
What's a Marin?
Marin ? It is a french word that means sailor, or something related to aquatic way of life ^^
But in the current context, I'm guessing its a lore character - or only a made up name - from WoW
It pisses me off how the only time we hear from them is when it’s time to promote new expansion aka when they need money. Disgusting. New patch brought soo many bugs and visual errors that made game awful, no apology or any respond for Nemsy chaos but when they need money - here they are. Pathetic..
Yea, cuz those developers are working for free! They don't need money for paying the bills of the facility. They put your money right into their pocket.
'' All secrets will be revealed on Friday, November 3 at 1:45 p.m. PDT at the Mythic Stage.''
If not at least one new secret is revealed, I will be slightly displeased
11 AM PDT = 7 PM UTC+1
Oh boy, im equally excited and horrified. Cant wait! :-*
Anybody knows until when can we purchase the tickets ?
thanks
Don't purchase the ticket! Believe me it's not a good idea !
Is hearthpwn going to host a giveaway of virtual tickets? BlessRNG
