Jeoparino 2: Kripparrian, Noxious, and TidesOfTime
The second episode of Hearthstone Jeoparino from Liquid'Amaz aired this morning, and the video is now available for your consumption. Kripparrian, the previous champion, was joined by fan favourites Noxious and TidesOfTime to put their Hearthstone knowledge to the test. If you aren't familiar with Jeoparino, the show is modelled off the popular TV quiz show, Jeopardy!, but is filled with Hearthstone flavour turned up to 11.

Posted Sep 17, 2014 (Naxx Launch)I like Chakki and Tarei. Maybe someone can tell me more about their qualifications but, based on their games during the qualifier, they looked dominant.

Posted Sep 16, 2014 (Naxx Launch)Dedicating your entire gametime to playing ladder with the same 2 or 3 decks often means you never even bother to look at other options. Many hi tier HS players don't even know that certain cards exist. The "brainless farmer" knows the meta-game very well, but never bothers to think about the greater game as a whole.
While the winner does spend a lot of his time experimenting with rarely used cards to come up with out-there decks, the reason he won by a landslide was easiest explained by the fact that he spent the entire week on stream studying every card, both in the game and on Hearthhead.com. That includes collectible cards, NPC/Boss cards, and cards that used to exist but have changed in the ~3 years the game was in development. He was simply more prepared.

Posted Sep 16, 2014 (Naxx Launch)Wait, something with this tournament roster isn't right. DreamHack is promoting their Blizzcon European Qualifiers (here) and the 16 participants are not qualified yet.
Also: Why are there people outside of Europe even allowed to participate? Looking at you Amaz / Reynad / Thunderbuddy.

Posted Sep 16, 2014 (Naxx Launch)Amaz won a DreamHack event and it gave him automatic entry into the qualifiers. The other two did indeed get through with Quals though. Perhaps region-locking should be looked at next year, but I don't think its necessarily as big of a problem as it is with "Koreancraft" (SC2).

Posted Sep 16, 2014 (Naxx Launch)Perhaps not. Honestly, doesn't really matter to me- top 16 does, and more importantly, BlizzCon =D
