Feel free to start your games immediately! Make sure you post the final score ITT clearly, ie "This is wombat and I beat Bobbo 3-0". The exact match record is important for tiebreaker purposes.

Check the 'group stage' tab for progress and updates. I included the gamer tag of everyone that participated in the November tourney.

The following people please post your gamer tag ITT because I don't have yours yet:

How do we decide the match ups?

You play everyone else in your group once. You set up matches on your own with the others in your group.

goborage#1456

rabbit#11458

bremen#1280 for bremen

jmakin#1264

I'm never surviving my group and i am like 1 deck short for this, so you're welcome for the easy wins

strugglin to think about what deck #4 is gonne be

Alrutz#1351. I'm having some computer issues that I won't be able to fix until early next week so I have to wait till next week to play my matches. Right now I am confined to playing on my phone.

MangoDiesel 1511

yea i think this is the 3rd tourney in a row being grouped with donk and believe its 1 win each. lettuce tie break!!

I had to buy one of the expansions that I missed, going to get those cards quickly and will be available tonight

Bobbo,

How does 9pm EST tomorrow 4/30 sound for our match? I can't think of a better way to pop the tourney's cherry. You can count on me to bring max cancerous carnage to counter your supremeus HS intellect. (Or is that a 4th level comment?) I'd love to have you cast your side of the match so give me a time if 9pm isn't ideal. (you're still in Boston I take it so est is a given).

Everyone else,

Thanks for the quick replies regarding the gamer tags. I also gleaned a few from the Hearthstone SN thread. I'm going to update that OP soon. I still need tags from the following:

dodgybob
DoGGz
Abysmal
Roy

Everyone else - start playing!

Personally, I love to watch matches. It works best if you say "hey jmakin, is 8pm est good for you?" Then he can confirm and bystanders can enjoy as well. It sounds simple, but the biggest delays are when players post "hey, I'm good for this weekend, let me know when you want to play". Be assertive. If your suggested time doesn't work, get a counter offer. We are smart people on 2+2. We can make this tournament a better place.

Thanks.

Obv in for cocasting.
The added bonus of me Co casting is:
I have maybe 8 games played since the release of the grand tournament.

Everything i know about current HS, i learned from watching Kripp play for about 2 hours.

thanks for the support Jack you are an interesting co-caster.

awesome its gonna be fun.

Ill probably wait a few days to start my matches if possible my RL friend is dragging me for another marathon of new diablo 3 season starting tonight

kirby confirmed SHOOK by Yogg variance.

What are your odds of losing in the group stage bro? 50/50? Go for it.

about 50%

I'm ready to play matches if anyone in the next few hours wants to.
