Uldum INN-vitational Streamer Battle
While we go through deck lists to prepare for expansion release and wait for the inevitable blue post with the official release time, we might as well have some FUN. That's easy to come by today as Blizzard has invited a who's who of streamers and personalities to compete in a special tournament today.
2 separate teams, the heroic League of Explorers and the dastardly League of E.V.I.L., will take each other on using decks containing the new Saviors of Uldum cards, which means more chances for us to see the new expansion cards in action.
Read below to see who is on which team, and where you can watch it.
Stream ended, links to the VoD's below:

Posted Aug 5, 2019 (Saviors of Uldum)Lets hear from everyone on hearthown who has made a dime playing this game. Would love to know. Instead of hosting People on YouTube who have nothing better to do Blizzard and giving them what amounts to 50 bucks why do t you invite random players from sites like this to compete in tournaments and give them money...hmmmmmm just a suggestion. I’ll be the first to opt out because I have a great job and make six figures. Lets give the Regular players something instead of people who Call themselves streamers because lets face it ....they don’t have real jobs. Just a suggestion. I won’t watch or participate in any YouTube garbage surrounding this game. Google literally exploits these people and they think it’s so cool....the pennies they get....good lord.

Posted Aug 5, 2019 (Saviors of Uldum)They are free to change their decks between matches, so I don;t think there's exact lists anywhere, especially since it's still on going.
There's also a mandatory rule where they have to include at least 10 cards from the new expansion, which may not (probably will not) make the strongest decks for the new expansion.
In case you hadn;t seen it yet, we also made a news post with a variety of decks late last night: https://www.hearthpwn.com/news/6882-decklists-for-day-1-of-saviors-of-uldum
Also sneak preview (shhhhhh, don't tell anyone else) but we will post a Release day post somewhere tonight which will have a variety of decks in it as well (though it overlaps in places with the news post from last night).

Posted Aug 5, 2019 (Saviors of Uldum)Blizzard clearly knows a good thing when they see it. These people provide hours and hours of free advertising, and Blizzard is all too happy to keep them happy.
Funny how this coincides with certain streamers jumping ship to start streaming TFT. I notice that a significant number of streamers in this tournament seemed poised to do likewise. I guess this may help keep them loyal for a little while longer.

Posted Aug 5, 2019 (Saviors of Uldum)I think the two-tiered relationships between streamers and game companies vs the paying pleb will just continue to get more extreme.
