I hope Jarla wins
Jarla vs Glory in the Finals!
He's got his shot, 3 more wins!
He's definitely looked like the best player at the tournament. The way he picked apart SilverName's board in their last game was incredibly impressive.
He's got my vote to win too. :)
Alas, poor Jarla.
Yeah, pity about the final. Agree that Jarla was the best player over the weekend no doubt, it's a shame he couldn't get over that final hurdle.
I remember someone saying that we've never had a world champ who didn't have Rogue in their lineup. Can't remember the lineups from last year but is that still true today after glory's win?
A A O
Awesome first day. Some really great matches to close things out. I have a feeling tomorrow will deliver in a big way. :D
Jarla is exactly the kind of player I would hate to run into! I guess that says something about my play...
still rooting for XiaoT!!
That game between Glory on DH and Bloodyface on Hunter was utterly disgusting at the end. Glory just had ridiculous luck on his side on top of DH just being kinda bonkers.
Definitely a point against Iskar's mentions of Hunter being the better winrate class.
And now Glory casually drops a 10/10 Edwin on turn 2. Glory has a horse shoe up his ass. (he's also showcasing exactly which cards are problematic in extreme when a player has everything come together)
We get it, you picked BloodyFace in Choose Your Champion, stop being salty.
That Jarla vs XiaoT match was great.
Quite a few blowouts so far, kinda surprised that even with so many the same decks that the games have been anything but even, except this Jarla vs XiaoT match just now.
Hoping we see some more close matches soon!
Although I dislike the decks Jarla took, can't argue that his plays were flawless all games. I'm glad I chose him lol.
As always i pick someone and that person loses the very first match xD
I don't get it, I seriously don't get it...
For months, maybe even for years that whole HS e-sport team couldn't fix & make sound/microphones properly...
Now we have event called World Championship, in 2020, so probably the biggest event in whole year and... And I honestly can't watch or at least enjoy this stream, because their microphones are STILL fk'd up...
Like I can mute sound, but it's hand to enjoy without commentary... But when I turn the volume ON, even at 30%... It's painful to hear those noises...
It feels like they don't care... Or maybe nobody re-watch this & noone in Blizzard even know that they should fix their "sound side"...
each1 said to vote for bloodyface first to get knocked out lol he had the best line up alot was saying :P
i voted for silvername for the meme
go yt and boycott this tournament
Boycott for what? Or why?
Because it's apparently a cool thing to do.
I don't think we need to do it anymore... there were 10k viewers for biggest yearly tournament for HS :D
it's like a copy and paste from the last GMs, latest expansion hasnt made any difference, apart from a couple of secrets and the hunter weapon... this says it all
