Thank God i didnt vote for kolento but for surrender...His plays in the last championship he was in were amazing and thoughtful.I just hope he gets me some packs@!
KOLENTO I VOTE FOR YOU DONT FAIL ME BRO OR ELSE CMON
If anyone need any more proof that competitive Hearthstone is an absolute joke.
Orange and Purple on my two accounts.
me too
Sooo... I've heard most of you voted for Kolento....
I hope when the tournament over blizzard tease us by telling what this years standard will be called. Starting the prediction hype.
Blizzard set rng against kolento xD
of course... "so many free packs... we need to do something"
Conspiracy no less...
Shouldn't it be the 2018 world championship?
It is 2017... basically best players of 2017 doing finals... Finals are always in the beginning of next year...
I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of packs suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear Kolento eliminated with no wins.
P.S. Good that I have voted for Purple.
Is kolento eliminated already? I rarely follow these and im not sure how it works.
Got it, thanks! yea I know that the scoreboard is there but I wasn't sure if he was done after an 0-2 start.
at least I will get one more pack... but also I don't like going with the crowd kind of thing... I made my own choice rather than listening to common opinion...
Come on. This comment was meant as a joke anyway...
