Linking to good matches would be nice. I don't have time to sit around all day and watch.

Theude brought a Feign Death Hunter that had the caster rolling. It was at the end of Day 2 and worth pulling up.

OMG, Ignite vs Ostkaka.

Priest vs Rogue.

The game is basically over. Ignite plays a loatheb against rogue, and next turn steals a loatheb with a deathlord on board that has velen's chosen. So rogue does nothing again. Ignite goes for the kill and puts a zombie chow on board for the final health and then uses the heal but forget's he has velens so when the soul priest goes off it dies instead of living and gives his opponent 6 life in total. Rogue puts a ton of stuff on board next turn and has a 6 damage 2 durability knife and Ignite who had a very easy win, insta quits. LOL velens and lol being greedy.

This hearthstone tournament reminds me of poker in a way. Saw some really big mistakes from the so-called best players in the world.

Lifecoach triggered a mirror entity with keeper while having a Kezan in hand, not realizing Keeper would get copied when he killed a mad scientist. That's a fairly rookie mistake from the top ranked player in the world. Those mistakes can cause you tournaments.

People make mistakes, I'd give him the benefit of the doubt... That said, that should be known, as it's fairly common with scientist

The thing about casters is that the people who I like are not liked by the twitch masses. They would prefer to watch kripp make snarky comments and spout twitch lingo rather than guys like Lothar, RDU, Strifecro and Savjz who give good analysis but aren't as "funny". So guys like Artosis will always get to cast over the guys I like.

Altho the one exception is frodan, I really like what he brings to the table even though his analysis is not as strong.

Artosis/Kripp/Frodan commentating is a great combination.

I thought seat story was a really good tourney production.

frodan is awesome as a host. I like artosis too as an actual professional commentator though he hasnt been involved too much in the hearthstone scene recently so there were some analysis gaps. the third person always should be a high level pro player for some more advanced analysis though which kripp is not.

reynad as a caster is so much better than reynad as a streamer. would be happy if they booked him for knockout rounds in the future after he gets knocked out in group stage. gaara/savjz/rdu are also good.
