HCT Summer Championship Stream
Dog is a popular pick...which means we're all going to be screwed when he loses. That's just how it works lel
I don't even remember who I voted for. XD
Whoever it is, they'll drop out in their first match!
When do we get are packs?
Lets go dog! just don't play super fast like you do your streams and make sure to take that shirt off. That is all.
Lets go Viper! I have my money on you my boy, keep winning pls
I forgot who I voted for again... Does anyone know how I can find my chosen champion?
They used to show it on the voting page if you logged in later on or at least when you clicked the "tournament details" link earlier on the page but I'm not seeing mine in either now. Kinda getting concerned if my vote registered or not...
Thanks used to work for me previously as well but can't find it this time unfortunately. Just picked a random dude since I don't know any of them, guess I will just have to see how many packs I will get in the end.
It's one of the ones that lose 0-2.
Lol got 4 packs apparently, lucky me
Where's our reward witchwood pack from the previous tournament? I havent received mine
Picked A83650 because he has a similar decklist to what I plan to bring to random fun tournaments I've been playing in (just big spell mage instead of his cubelock). Also I feel affinity towards control priest players now, since it somehow single-handedly won my my last tournament haha.
And he goes off and loses with his control priest immediately =(
Bloodtrail! Hell yeah!
Wait, what? No. XiaoT is suppose to lose. That's the whole reason I picked him.
And one for Viper! <3
To be honest i have no clue about HS e-sport scene.
I saw here a lot of comments about "Dog".
So I trusted you & I voted at "Dog".
I hope you didn't jebaited me 「(゚ペ)
In his defence, he is taking a plan B of sorts with Void Ripper. But yeah, 1 pack here we come! lol
he has inner fire priest in a group that's full of skulking geists :D he's not winning like, sorry :D
I picked the Italian dude as I thought he looked funny :D also he's in dogs group... I'm totally getting 1 pack too, so it's OK.
In hindsight I wish I'd went with killinallday. he has a similar set of decks to the dude I chose, but the computer says my guy realistically will only make it half way at best, where as killin is gonna make it to first or 2nd place. Ofc this is just based on maths and could be totally wrong. RNG doesn't give care.
That one deck will be in tough, but Dog is a very good player on the whole. A little luck, say from those Geists not coming when needed, and he can do it.
Waiting for the conspiracy theorists who think RNG will be stacked against Dog because of how many people picked him. And because a bunch of people want one pack shirtless Dog.
... All seriousness, good luck to everybody. And to us all on getting some sweet packs.
