This seems like a super scummy way to inflate their view count. Well done
Does anyone have the brackets and decklists for the players yet? I'd like to look over them before voting
if you spy them, send them my way please. I want to check them before I choose. also we should brainstorm on who is most likwly to give us all the packs.

Scroll down and you should be able to see the brackets
You can check the decklists here:

thanks. apparently it's a tough one to call this time because theres so many unknown decks, tech cards and tech cards to counter the first tech cards, ha ha.
I think really you need to study the first brackets and go from there as most people have control warrior and control warrior is going to smash all the aggro decks.
See last time I did this it was a combo meta, so picking the players with aggro decks was key. I think the guys with 2 control decks and 2 aggro decks might do best, I dunno though man. it's a really tough one.
I picked Bloodtrail. He looks as if he’s ready to kill the others to win
blood trail is a good player. I remember his first tournament. he was totally unknown, yet he got to the last stages I think.
lol as someone who also plays Eternal these are the most anemic drops ever, SUPER stingy. but hey at least they aren't trying to sell bits this time.
Yeah, I know right! Giving away 48000 Classic packs is soooo stingy...
Hunterace My hero Handzdown
I wonder how many people afking will inflate the stream numbers.
This'll be easy:
1 Start stream on twitch
2 Go to bed
...
4 Profit.
In a country where electricity is free.
Most people here don't pay there own bills, so your argument becomes invalid
4 hours of boredom for 1 pack?! OMEGALUL
Isn't that just grinding wins for gold?
Well I don’t grind wins just to get 100 gold a day. It’s pointless. Quests and Arena are where you get gold.
Nice dead game with 100k players lol
Wow, nice to see them doing some creative promoting in light of the HCT.
Looks like they are finally getting it: People will always bitch about everything. Give us free stuff, we'll bitch a bit less
couldn't find connection tab in twitch settings.
isn't it now?
found it okey
