Posted Jun 30, 2018 (Spiteful Nerf)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

Posted Jun 30, 2018 (Spiteful Nerf)What do you have against Dog? He's a great player and one of the least toxic popular HS streamers out there.

Posted Jun 30, 2018 (Spiteful Nerf)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?

Posted Jun 30, 2018 (Spiteful Nerf)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

"Simply log into the game after the tournament has concluded(1) and crack open your new packs!

Posted Jun 30, 2018 (Spiteful Nerf)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.

Posted Jun 29, 2018 (Spiteful Nerf)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.

Posted Jun 29, 2018 (Spiteful Nerf)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.
