DreamHack Austin Stream
You can watch all the action on the stream at Twitch.tv/DreamHackHS.
Exactly my question. What is the point? Titanar was already played on a post-nerf patch. Why couldn't they also do it?
They are playing post nerf. You watched the France dreamhack replay.
Ok, my bad then. Can you give me a link where I can watch all the games from day 1?
You can find the videos in bits and pieces from DreamHack's twitch for now. They will also be uploaded on Youtube at some point but that will likely take a week or two. There are, of course, other non-official Youtube channels that have uploaded the games already, like this one.
Thanks man.
why are they playing with pre nerfs cards?
I don't think they are. They have been streaming a rerun of DreamHack Tours that took place before the nerfs for the last couple of hours now, I assume you may have mistaken that as DH Austin.
They are playing with post nerf cards. you're watching the france replay.
Are the decklists anywhere?
You can find most of the decklists by visiting the smash.gg site, going to the swiss brackets tab and clicking a matchup for the player whose decks you're looking for. That will open up a small pop-up window with decklists for both players (an example for Ike's decks here). We'll make a news post with the decks of top 16 later this weekend.
EDIT: looks like my example link has some issues and the decks don't show up. You can still find them by following my instructions, just not directly from the link.
any clue why Kane's deck list are not available.
That's the exact reason I wrote "most of the decklists" in my post above, happened to click one of his matchups yesterday and there were no decks. I do not know why and find it quite weird as I believe the players are required to upload their decklists to smash.gg to even be able to participate. I'd also imagine his opponent's to have complained to the organizers about it in case they have tried to look up his lists. I hope smash.gg will fix this issue especially if Kane makes it to top 16, otherwise it will be challenging to add his lists here on Hearthpwn.
Yeah was doing practice between days with someone and kane is a possible opponent and I went to build his decks and was like? Oh. Just thought I would ask since they didn't respond in twitch either. Guess we will find out in 2 hours when they get there and ask. But yeah as someone that has competed before, we had to email our decklist a few days before the event, then day of we copy and paste them into smash.gg so it is possible that he didn't copy paste them but I would have thought that an opponent brought it up and it been fixed by now.
YAYtears gathered most players deck here
Wow, Dreamhack is coming to my hometown!
I believe the schedule is a little off, since it has started already.
According to the official schedule, it should be
*edit: only the Korean time is off
You're correct, I can tell that just by watching the time difference between CEST and KST which should be 7 hours, post has 3 hours currently. I blame Flux's time zone converter. Will be fixed soon!
