Posted Jun 17, 2018 (Spiteful Nerf)I find it interesting (and a little annoying) that the Twitch channel nor this website even bother mentioning where the thing is actually held.
You'd think that's a nice bit of information to know.

Posted Jun 17, 2018 (Spiteful Nerf)Yes, the decks are already available. tacky187 posted a Google Drive link below (
I do not know the source of thatnow I do, it's most likely YAYtears) which contains all the deck codes. You can also find a certain player's decks by clicking a matchup in smash.gg brackets. As usual, we will be posting the decks of top 16 on the site, too.-

Posted Jun 16, 2018 (Spiteful Nerf)Some of these players need to chill with the nervous hover over cards. Like Pokrovac for example. Skims stressfully over his cards non-stop. I understand they’re under pressure, but it makes for a bad viewing experience.

Posted Jun 16, 2018 (Spiteful Nerf)They are not playing for the viewer's experience. This is not a TV show.
They are playing only for themselves and for the money.
Those players only care about the audience on their personal Twitch Streaming sessions.

Posted Jun 16, 2018 (Spiteful Nerf)I beg to differ. Blizzard has been putting a lot of effort into promoting players, giving us bios and highlights and such, basically making them look good for the esport itself. They want to make stars out of them, and with good reason. So for that fact yeah, the viewing experience matters. Image matters, for the game as a whole.
If you think it’s cool to watch a guy that plays like he drank 22 red bulls before the game, that’s great for you.

Posted Jun 16, 2018 (Spiteful Nerf)Found them: https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/1uTG87hIaqnYEUiy8CVimn74c_c6pscmW
Note that they include the team name first, under the directories, so StanCifka is under O, not S.

Posted Jun 16, 2018 (Spiteful Nerf)Really rooting for Feno. Lately he has been doing very well and I'd really like it if he nabbed a tournament win, instead of a high placement

Posted Jun 16, 2018 (Spiteful Nerf)The pricepool money for the Pro Scene is just plain pathetic. Almost any other game pays much more, I don't understand why Blizzard don't want to invest in their own game and professionals.

Posted Jun 16, 2018 (Spiteful Nerf)These tour stops happen nearly every weekend though, I don't expect Blizzard throwing $100k every week. Real purpose of these tour stops are giving HCT points for the Seasonal championship which has much bigger prize pool.

Posted Jun 16, 2018 (Spiteful Nerf)Dreamhack is its own company that funds their own eSports tournaments. They don't just do Hearthstone either. It makes sense that they aren't putting all their eggs in one basket.
