Well I am not sure that it's totally correct. I think that he wasn't banned from this one since he has already qualified, but has been banned from any major event for the rest of the year. But this is the biggest event so....
i got my dad and asked him which one of these guys is the most nerdest. needles to say i chose that one
The streams start at 3AM my time?! Not complaining - I wouldn't have gotten any of the free packs anyways.
Wasn't ROGER banned for cheating? Whay he is still there?
He only got banned for tournaments next year.
he's also top pick according to skynet. so I picked him. also he was banned for throwing a game. he was being nice and letting someone else win. he didn't really do anything scummy. I think he knew he was beat so he just threw it. really not that bad IMO (if that's what he did anyway.. I heard that's it)
Well this is kinda cool. Anyone interested can just mute twitch and leave it open to continue to do his stuff. Not that is worth it but free stuff is free stuff :P
no thanks, sitting through hours of watching depressed and bored af players for a lousy pack
So we get a RoF pack only for the first 4 hours of watching right ? Not a RoF pack for every 4 hours of watching?
Yup i'll probably do that too ... no way im watching 4 hours hct
Thats what i wanted to do but my internet connection is not that good to leave a stream running and play other online games at the same time.
yes need alexstraza :) i cant wait to play freeze mage in 2020.
I just lost 80 brain cells reading that and realising that someone spent their time to create an account and type this out. Go watch Digimon, loser.
And he's not even correct. It's a RoS pack for everyone watching 4 hours plus 48000 classic packs distributed on top. But I guess he couldn't care less :D
Screw the electricity bill, we need packs!
/me perks up
Free stuff?!?!
Sounds good!!
Classic packs omg do people still need classic packs
PLaying since beta (not even free 2 play gamer) and still missing legendarys from classic...
that is ... odd. I'm f2p and playing since Naxx and got my final legendary about a year ago. You dusted some legendaries along the way? If not you really must've had some bad luck with your classic packs.
I'm f2p too and also have been playing since Naxx, rarely skipping a day, doing all the quests, evens and what not, and still miss a decent portion of epics and legendaries from the classic set.
