HCT Summer Championship Stream
Picked the funniest name, because it's all random anyway. 1 pack. Oh well.
One pack as always and expected. It's ok dog, you are a good boy.
Duck Fog
So glad to see Dog being destroyed so all the plebs will probably get just 1 pack. I wouldn't care if Bunnyhoppor whom I voted for lost, as long as Dog failed miserably. :D
What do you have against Dog? He's a great player and one of the least toxic popular HS streamers out there.
Congratulations to being a part of the toxic side of this community.
Didn't pick dog cause of the celeb curse. Went with rugal from same group. Fml that one pack bettet net me a golden legendary
How does the ranking in the groups exactly work? Comes first who has more matches wins, in case of tie who has more games wins, in case of tie who has less games losses (that's what I suppose)? And how many matches does every player have to play?
Got it, thank you
I'm really proud on BunnyHoppor. He played really well.
The 1 pack streak continues ;_;
Same here.
I almost didn't vote because I seem to have the power to make someone auto lose by choosing them as my champion. So I'm making someone lose in a big tournament just so I get a free pack. I feel bad about that but I'm f2p and *need* free packs! :P
So... we will get those packs when the tournament ends?
From the official site:
"Simply log into the game after the tournament has concluded(1) and crack open your new packs!
Each set has their own pity timer so for example Classic packs from Tavern Brawl won't affect your Witchwood pack chances if that's what you fear.
i picked BunnyHoppor
Wish I could remember who I picked or that I could see on the blizz site..
Really impressed with Bunnyhoppor's plays. I think the pressure got to Dog; he played terrible in his 3 games. Even the casters had a couple of NotLikeThis moments in his games.
Dog is more than likely done. Even if he wins his next match, his win-loss ratio will bump him out of a tie more than likely. Next time I'm using my own strategy and just picking the person with the coolest name.
Nalguidan got this boys! proud of Argentina!
