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.
If the advertisers are stupid enough to pay blizzard for what amounts to an ip logging into a stream then they are the suckers. Anyone who watches esports in general must not value their time at all because esports are not fucking sports at all and never will be. Chicken-arm weaklings Being exploited by corporations isn’t something high on my list of taking part in. If kids who sit in front of a pc screen all day clicking a mouse want to think they are athletes then so be it. They can keep thinking that while the rest of us laugh at them.
watch 3 hours for one pack. But the whole thing was less than 3 hours today. Fail
It continues in few hours
Well said.

What time in EU time it will be?
When Dog is on the total views are around 23K when Dog isn't on they hit lows around 12k. Viewership is down a bunch. Why? Because no one wants to watch 6 hours of Warrior mirror or the same 3 classes play with about the same decklist.
What are you talking about?
This week we had very little Warrior representations overall. And it’s normal to have low viewercounts during the summer holidays.
No dude, it's just boring :)
6 hours of watching for 2 packs ??
Not even worth the current it takes to keep the pc on lol.
Considering a pack is worth 100 gold, lets talk about the 10g for each 3 wins system.
Tinfoil hat on: Any reason why Blizzard wants us to link b.net account to twitch or the other way around?
I know its needed to award the packs.. but could there be another reason?
You have to be insane to watch matchups nowadays. 2-3 classes, same decks. Oh wait, nobody is watching. People are there just for a chat. LUL!
Dude you should be insane when you understand that you are not right and people watching it, because they want. But you most likely just writing random **** in hearthstone forum. Go play your favorite artifact.
Hi guys! I've a question regarding those classic packs:
They are giving away 1500 classic packs each hour, however, there are 6 different "eligible channels"... so, are those 1500 classic packs shared out between the 6 channels each hour? Or on the contrary, has each channel its own 1500 classic packs to give away each hour?
Just because if it's the second option, then if we enter the channel with less people we'll have more probabilities of getting a free classic pack, won't we?
If its the second option,then everyone would log into all 6 , increasing there chance for more packs ,i mean people are greedy like that
Are the Playoff matches/groups published? I looked at the site but coudn't really find any info.
This is a great notice, Blizzard help a little bit to people how don't spent money in the game
This is f..... Joke. Rope, Rope, Rope
I would only pay customers to watch my product if I knew that my product sucked.
