But First, Link Your Accounts!
Before you can receive rewards, you’ll need to link your Twitch.tv and Blizzard Battle.net accounts. Here’s how:
- Log in or create an account on Twitch.tv.
- Navigate to the Settings menu by clicking your account name in the top-right corner of the home screen.
- Navigate to the Connections tab of the Settings menu.
- Find the Battle.net section, then follow the instructions after selecting a region and clicking Connect.
- When connecting accounts, be sure that you’re currently logged into the Blizzard account on which you’d like to receive your rewards.
That's probably why Blizzard is a multi million dollar company and you're not running one.
Additonal packs cost Blizzard exactly 0$. Advertisers on 40K viewership channels are worth just a bit more than 0$.
They award you for following HS exports thats great I mean if you like to watch streaming/live content anyway then the two packs will just be the icing on the cake. in the opposite case just connect and they’re still awarding even if you’re afk plus the drop ecc ecc Like what else
so I don’t understand why most are being mudspits in this post
This had to be said.
This became from amazing game to trash.
I dont think it will be long before it is gone.
Playing minions master for now wayyyyy more fun.
So go and play it. Why do you spam here?
Bye, Felicia!
Tournaments should be changed to a max of 30s/turn to act PLUS a 5s rope + time bank of 1 min.
This would make watching games sooooo much less boring and would reward players who can think fast.
Just like chess, gotta learn to use your time wisely.
Your idee also kills decks like cyclon mage,most combo oriented decks in current format,in wild alot of OTK decks.You can't play cards because of the slow animations,even if you know ahead of time, this turn i'l cyclon till the animations from spell's ex:magic trick pop up or till antonidas gives you that generated fireball you got to wait,so changing the time would also mean reworking animations and maybe a bunch of other mechanics.
Your frustration and boredness comes from seeing a game where they play face hunter/control warrior and they "still think" 1 minute till rope ,ending with a climaxing heropower.
I really hope that you compared it with real chess, not with this trash Dota Underlord. But on topic. Actually 75 second is not really that much for a turn. 1) You want to test how good is people in taking decision, not how fast he do it. Of course in terms of hearthstone championship we shouldn't make turns longer than 2 minutes, because this will make games much longer, but very often there is a lot of things to think of. I understand that 70% of community thinks that they can be on blizzcon only by playing green cards, but this is far from true. Actually this is what distinguish pro player from random guy in hearthpwn forum. Of course this is not the most complicated game, but it is far from easy especially on tournament level. Of course sometimes they just waste time, but in a hurry you often make mistake, so it is better to take slowly than to lose $$ (and they are playing for real money, not 1 star in rating).
Judging by peoples opinions alone, the Hearthstone game AND pro-scene has really caved in recent times.
Is it because all the brilliance behind the original game have all left/are leaving Activition-Blizzard?
History repeating itself.. *cough* WoW *cough* ;)
6 hours. Two packs. Watching paint dry is more exciting than watching two warriors fatigue each other and watching two mages freeze each other board every turn
I just leave it on on my PC and get my packs while participating in life. I also have a secondary f2p account that gets the packs from the app on my old phone. My point is that you don't have to waste your time watching to get those packs.
This'll be just like last tournament. Rope into mountain giant, other mage ropes into mountain giant, CC giant after a rope, other mage freezes (after a good, long rope of course), rope into CC and freeze, 4 more turns of roping and freezing.
Meh it works on iPad too so it’s pretty easy to just let it run on there with max dimness for a while.
Is it possible to link the account through the mobile app?
yes i think soo
finally a smart guy (or girl)
Let me know how much money those 6 hours not watching get you, becuase playing in this tournament alone in getting the players half a million dollars doing something they love.
But of course, they're the losers and you're the winner.
I still have three packs from last time in my twitch inventory but I don't get them when I start the game
I'm not sure if this matters or not, but is your Twitch linked to a different account or region than the one you're logging into?
