...are they actually going to let tom60229 play?!
Ostkaka still in Navi?
Navi's Hearthstone team disbanded long ago, our player database images just aren't that up-to-date.
Ostkaka is back POGGERS
Somehow I find almost every hunterace match very entertaining. Anyone else has that?
That is not Blizzard/HCT tour stop event
I feel sad looking at this prize pool. $3.5k for the winner not that good when you factor in flight costs, accomodations etc. The HCT points are probably worth more than that.
They chose this job though, knowing it doesn't pay well. Good on them for doing what they love and all that, but considering a lot of these guys seem to actually be pretty smart I'm sure they could get better jobs elsewhere if they wanted to.
Thijs just won a Bucatti playing Heartshone though...
He choose to leave the car and take the 186K instead.

Yeah, thats true. I totally agreed on your point. Can't even breakeven your expenses and efforts travelling to other country to join this HCT tour stops. Blizzards prizepool is really bad compared to other esports company. Blizzards treatment on players is so bad
That is not a Blizzard/HCT tour stop event
The second prize in CN vs EU was 10,000 euros though, which is still better than HCT tour stops, but nowhere near the huge first prize. In general, I think HS pros have to live off sponsorships and streaming, not prize money.
All of these guys are on sponsored teams. Someone else is is picking up the bill while they whine and dine and party all night.
I'm not saying it's the highest paying job in the world. It's not. But it is what they choose to do. It is not like someone is holding a gun to their head.
So stop with the silly Blizzard hate.
cool
