The world champion will be decided by who draw keleseth first
Kolento drew Keleseth first in the decider and he still got beat so your comment is invalid, I'm afraid sir.
Why is it the 2017 Hearthstone World Championship? My calendar tells me it's 2018 already.
i think its because they played in 2017 to qualify for the tournament. So this is the 2017 year(Year of the mammoth) world tournament. So games after this one is for the next standard year's wold tournaments 2018.
Your Calendar? So I guess you weren't around when we got to 2018 right? lmao I guess you look at the calendar everyday to make sure we're still in 2018 right?
Cause year of the mammoth started in 2017 april and will end in 2018 april so its still same year ,they could as well have stated year of mammoth championship but then you'd need to remember the order of the year looking back
