Quote from BlizzardQuillboar have descended upon the Hearthstone Battlegrounds and it is quill or be quilled! On May 12, from 10:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. PT, the Battlegrounds Brawl returns! 16 Hearthstone creators will be split into 4 teams—the Bristlebacks, the Razormanes, the Razorfens, and the Briarbacks—to compete for their share of a $100,000 USD prize pool! Tune in to find out who is bottom boar and who is top tusk.
How it Works
Scoring: Two games will be played simultaneously each round, with two members from each team in each game and seven total rounds of play. Points will be awarded at the end of each round, based on each individual competitor’s placement, and added to their team’s total point score.
- 1st place finish = 5 points awarded
- 2nd place finish = 4 points awarded
- 3rd place finish = 2 points awarded
- 4th place finish = 1 point awarded
Final placement and prizing will be determined by each team’s total point score after seven rounds. Each team’s total number of 1st place finishes will be the primary tiebreaker, if needed.
Where to Watch
Battlegrounds Brawl: Battle of the Boars will be broadcast live on the official Hearthstone Twitch and YouTube channels, with participants also streaming their own perspectives on their respective channels.

"This event will be live on Twitch:
What exactly does this mean?
I forgot to watch this on Twitch instead of Youtube, so I only have 2.5 hours left to receive a pack, according to this time frame, but the PlayHearthstone Twitch Channel isn't live right now. How do I get this pack?
Watch Kripp
The event was scheduled for 10 hours and finally was running only for ~ 4.5 hours.
I like the fact that Blizzard forget that they have players all around the world, and that kind of events is just frustating all players from Asia-Pacific zone, and certainly most of the European/Middle-East ones.
They should allow us to retrieve the drops for watching the recorded video during the following 24/48 hours. This will put more equity for all players.
Unfortunatelly, I'm not sure if this is something achievable from Twitch or Youtube. :(
Anyway, I watched the replay and it was nice to see new people face battling for the price. Well played All.
i suposely claimed both packs but only got 1 in game, weird
Didn't get rewarded any pack smh
I had the whole thing on for packs, less than 90 mins of credit
Watched the whole 4 hours with volume and all, account connected and got to even CLAIM the pack on twitch but it still doesn't appear on my hs :///
Check the drops inventory, you gotta activate it.
I just love that the counter is correct, watched nearly 9 hours of drop eligible content, for 81% of the first 2 hours.
Incredible, i just got to open 1 of the two packs. Here's the thing, I have completed fully all the 4 hours and got to claim both pack. Really weird how now I only got to open one. My guess is that sooner or later I'll get my other pack in delay. Thanks anyways.
uh, welcome to 2021. it's not about picking the most qualified, it's about picking the most oppressed (affirmative action).
Wow, look at all that diversity! I can't wait to...
Run the stream muted in the background for the free packs.
Woman pressence is enforced because if not enforced people will go for men instead even if they aren't better. Just because we still feel more "normal" watching dudes playing.
Actual world is not really fair, even if ethically two wrongs won't make a right, it's ok if they put women to give them a chance.
I swear I have never seen a man cleaning houses. It's always a woman.
Men and women both have crappy jobs. They just have different ones.
Btw, before you argue, a professional house cleaner can be forced to work for like 10 hours non-stop cleaning dozens of homes every day. At that point I almost take the construction place (besides the fact Im a dude).
wheres kibler and thijs are there sick of winning jk , but thats a lot of packs you can buy with that money
Kibler plays constructed. He doesn't do BG.
He’s with 2 grills and bloodyface
What's a bloodyface?
Hmm, Blizzard doesn't identify Luna as a woman. Another scandal coming?
Not a huge fan of BGs, but I'll give this a watch while I'm at work. At least I can put it on in the background and get the free packs.
It's nice to have these events.
They named it battle of the boars because they know quillboars are OP and it's what everyone is going to try to win with
