Congrats to Orange
This tournament has the ugliest trophy in the history of mankind. It's a plastic monstrosity I think only Asians could find pleasant to the eye (I know people from Russia, Turkey and China actually like things like this).

I think this new meta lays the ground for Control Warrior to finally be viable again. Tons of data still needs to be done but very encouraging.
Baize ❤️
Pavel is back!
you don't
Looks like I found an error at the top under "Decks Class Breakdown".
It appears that all 9 classes are represented. KAPPA.
Let's see how Cubelock's doing in a tournament after the nerf.
Pavel is alive!
But no Packvel... :(
The quality is so bad that I cant watch it. A shame, because the lineup seems fun.
It's a good Defile activator at the very least, not to mention the strength of a 5 mana 6 attack Charge minion that can be copied or stored with various cards.
2 cards 7 mana for a 1 and 2 in defile? yea you must be smoking weed because godfrey
1. Leeroy can either deal the 6 damage required to bring a board within Defile range or be used to deal face or minion damage. A perfect clear with Defile sometimes makes all the difference.
2. You won't always have Godfrey in hand, whereas you can run 2 copies of Defile, something you can't do with Godfrey.
3. Weed joke.
Just because you don't merit the strength in flexibility concerned with Leeroy and Defile doesn't mean we should play stupid with you. I made mention that "at the very least" it's a good activator. It gives some reason for such popularity with Leeroy, instead of just writing some dumb shit like you did that doesn't explain a thing other than your knowledge of Godfrey's existence.
I don't think he is played in warlocks running Defile.
However, he is a staple in odd/miracle rogue and is often used in spiteful druid.
My guess is maukiepaukiehs was joking.
But if it was a serious statement, then... also consider we just saw Leeroy getting buffed by Val'anyr on the tournament stream ;)
Priest meta?
I believe the time on the schedule is incorrect
Our only source of information about the starting time was Fr0zen's tweet where he says the stream will start around 1 AM EST. Maybe there's some sort of "opening ceremony" that they're not streaming in English yet.
