Full Event VoD:
Quote from BlizzardPrepare yourself hero, the Crossroads Inn-vitational is just around the corner! On April 21, starting at 10:00 a.m. PDT, 20 Hearthstone creators will be split into two teams, the Northwatch Hold and Camp Taurajo, before battling it out for their share of a $100,000 prize pool!
How it Works
Competitors will assemble a 30-card Standard deck list using at least 10 cards from Forged in the Barrens, before playing through two best-of-three rounds against different opponents on the opposing team. One team point will be awarded for each individual game victory within a round, regardless of who wins. Three team points will be awarded for a clean 2-0 sweep.
Then, each team will play a 3rd round, the BARRENS BLITZ round, which is a best-of-five where all players are required to have Nozdormu the Eternal in their decks. One team point will be awarded for each individual game victory within the BARRENS BLITZ round, and five team points will be awarded for a 3-0 sweep!
Finally, when a player loses a round for the first time in the event they’ll become “Frenzied” for the next round, meaning any team points earned by that player are doubled!
Man, Blizzard reps must get commission every time they try and push Nozdormu.
Stop trying to make fetch happen.
Blitz HS raises the skill cap. Make it default for D5 and Legend.
And people wonder why the streamers, like Kibler, never criticise Blizzard's business model. I'm sure it's nothing to do with Blizzard constantly throwing money at them (like these lucrative invitationals). LUL
Actually Kübler was one who cririze Blizzard hard at the Hongkong case. He spotted cast Grandmaster and stopped playing hearthstone for a while.
maybe inform yourself, after blaming persons.
Although some poeple (Krupp/regis) offers their places, cause they trink they hace enough fame and money.
Alright, the Nozdormu rounds certainly were entertaining, if only for Frodan and TJ to go slowly mad while casting. xD
LOVED the fact they stuck to the Nozdormu rounds for the Tie Breaker matches. Great fun. :D
no pack drops? imma pass
there is no point on this games because THEY ARE THE SAME DECKS SINCE THE EXPANSION CAMED OUT. waste of time.
Priest mirrors are ridiculously long, but that Luna vs the French dude one was amazingly entertaining.
I'm hyped!
I would be excited for it if it wasn't just the same 6 decks played over and over again ... I just went through 8 streams having innvitational on Twitch and there were literally 4 rogues decks and 2 priests decks with the same decklist. The only differences in those streams was what they got from discover effects and Jandice
The virgin "I'm not watching it because of the lack of diversity"
vs
The Chad "I'm not running it muted in the background because of the lack of drops"
I get the logic of the latter but are people actually saying the former?
Edit: nevermind just saw the other news story.
No drops, hard pass.
Very much hyped for these Nozdormu rounds. Bring it on!
Hums: And the man in the back said "Everyone Attack!" and it turned into a Barrens Blitz, B-Barrens Blitz.
We were all hyped for Nozdormu the Eternal based tournaments, and here we are!
