Nopackolento *sigh*
RIP Kolento :(
Sorry for anyone who voted for him. :(
That smirk Zhou has is infuriating!!!!
Woooowww... unbelievable. Kolento had him on the ropes and then he just couldn't buy a break. What a comeback.
Always hurts when top decks are able to swing the game so hard. That Dragonfire Potion when Kolento invested into that board was paiiiinful.
So this is the first tournament I've ever really kinda followed. Why is Kolento playing right now, but he wasn't one of the champions available to choose? What am I missing? I'm sure it's an easy answer haha. Maybe that was for a different tournament or something.
Edit: Yeahh nevermind. I think I accidentally checked out a different link haha.
Again one pack FeelsBadMan. Thank you Hoej
Yeah my first miss on picking a champion. Had a good record up to this point with Frozen and Orange as previous picks. Oh well still free stuff so I’m happy.
i voted exactly the same as you!!!
is it just group A and B playing today?
Yes. C and d tomorrow.
Where can I see the results? This page is not yet updated
EDIT: https://us.battle.net/hearthstone/en/esports/tournament/hct-world-championship-amsterdam
It has not started yet!
i look back at the days people hated freeze mage for doing 30 something damage in two turns....
I look back at the days people hated pirate warrior for doing 30 something damage in four-five turns....
I don't think that Blizz will nerf Raza-priest(ONLY?! 2,5 months and Raza will rotate).For now only hope in:
Where can I get the replay to that? I had to duck into the subway right on that turn, and only saw the chat reactions.
They don't care about wild, its dump for Blizz.
Lets go to Packsville
