Announcing the Outland Inn-vitational! - Watch With Twitch Drops!
Blizzard just announced a streamer/hearthstone personality only tournament for April 21st, with 100k in total prize money and more importantly to us, the return of Twitch drops! The tournament will be 2 teams of 10 players, competing in alternating rounds as a certain class, with one whole team competing as Demon Hunter on the 2nd and 4th rounds. Read further details about the tournament below!
Quote from BlizzardIt’s time for the Outland Inn-vitational! Taking place on April 21, from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. PT, the Outland Invitational will split 20 well-known Hearthstone personalities evenly into two groups—the Feisty Fiends and the Salty Satyrs!
The Outland Inn-vitational will use a new format we’re calling Demon Hunter Duel-fest, where both teams play against each other through 4 rounds of best-of-three matches. Each player will represent one of the ten classes and play as that same class in every match. However, on rounds 2 and 4, one full team will play as the Demon Hunter!
Here is how Demon Hunter Duel-fest scoring works:
- The winner of each best-of-three match will earn points for their team.
- Winning a match earns a team 2 points.
- At the end of four rounds, the team with the highest point total wins.
With $100,000 in prizing on the line, each member of the winning team will take home a cool US $6,500 while everyone else will still walk away with US $3,500. Additionally, the three players with the highest game score will get a US $1,000 kicker!
All participants will stream their own perspective of the competition on their own channels from the comfort of their home, with the official Hearthstone Twitch and YouTube channels providing match commentary and big-picture updates.

Okay, so why are all the least salty players on the Salty Satyr team?
which link will work to get the free packs? Tks
Battlegrounds is Hearthstone...
Not really. Its like saying Counterstrike is Half Life. A new game within the game that uses some of the assets.
Kripp/Purple/RDU dont even play HS much, just Battlegrounds. I dont hoink they should get a slot. Wjhy not people like Hobbs, Dekkster,Funki Munki instead?
It seems like Blizzard ALWAYS uses the same faces time after time.....doesnt seem fair, and looks like only the cool kids get to participate.
I am tired of watching the same Firebat,s and friends in these.
Give the smaller guys a shot for once!!
Purple is not on purple team?
Kripp is not a Salty Satyr?
Madness!!
I never got something from twitch drops
Gimme those sweet packs!
Kinda weird that people who are not even playing Standart HS are in there, while tireless grinder like Asmo is not.. guess he really fu*ked up on that Battleground event :D
What did he do?
We going to see some high level demon hunter game play yay
change back to Twitch too much success on you tube ?
Youtube was such a huge success that the servers weren't able to handle this. They had to go back on Twitch where they have less viewers and no fantastic features like chat that makes it hard to watch.
No uncle asmo :(
It's too bad regular players can't get a chance to be invited to these, influencers only.
4 hours of not watching gets me 10 cards...amazing. Thanks for making me click and minimize only once. and i will be sure to kill the stream after that second pack and never look back. now back to the pepper garden....
Kripp should be in the Salty Satyrs, and not in the Ficky Friends. kek
Lol at whoever has to play paladin
Factz
Kripp is not a salty satyr!? *confused*
