HCT World Championship Stream
You can watch all the action on the main stream at Twitch.tv/PlayHearthstone .
at this moment two packs - expect 4
I feel like Muzzy is an excellent ladder person. Like one of the best. But when it comes to tournaments, that's another story.

ok nvm i know why
The audio on the main stream has been out of sync since day 1 and gazillions of people mentioned it on reddit and the stream chat. Why don't they fix this ffs?
Aww, Muzzy! Thanks for trying, I guess?
And next time I won't choose my champ via gosugamers rankings (contrary to what I advised last time, lol).
LanguageHacker, my man! Keep the packs coming!
Dunno if it's posted somewhere already, but there are pack rewards for log in into game every day of championship. Today it was one Witchwood pack, tomorrow will be one Boomsday pack, and the next day will probably be one Rastakhan pack.
Make sure you start Hearthstone every day because if you miss a day, you lose that day's pack for good.
Did you get any random classic pack drops? I’ve been leaving my computer on throughout the stream but nothing. However, I did get the ROS for 4 hours and the Witchwood pack!
Nope, no Classic packs for me neither, only one ROS pack. I also left the stream running for the entire championship. It's a slim chance to get one though, but we can hope at least :)
Missed the first day, watched stream last night and woke up to a WW and RoS pack. Got Kalecgos in one!
can you stream the delayed replay? does that count for the 4 hojur free pack?
obviously not
ofc not
Nothing says you actually have to be at your computer at that time.
Those Times are horrible for EU
Living in Finland and the stream starts every morning 5am. This week I have woken up 4 & 5 am to watch some NHL hockey and have watched some Heartstone at the same time :D Great times
Thanks guys! Set twitch to stream to my chromecast while I slept and woke up with a Ros and WW. 3 rare cards and a Power of Creation for when I finally craft Khadgar.
Damn those Justsaiyan's matches, amazing thrillers both of them! Glad to get at least two packs.
Just logged into game got a free pack of Witchwood (I think it said it was for world champion something, its separate from tuning in and voting for a winner because I haven't done either). Was unexpected but I am not complaining.
