Reynad 2 Lifecoach 0 for the week

Whats lifecoach's poker screen name? Dude seems so far ahead of the field on how he approaches the game mathematically

dog vs neirea at dreamhack is the most entertaining game Ive seen

Swiss format is so great.

The problem with Kripp is not his knowledge, it's that he's the kind of guy that always has to be right, so he interrupts and talks over other commentators, and often refuses to acknowledge when the players make a play that turns out to be better than his suggested play. Obv he's a very smart guy and good at hearthstone but he needs to be reigned in somewhat. Noxious is similar in his casting style and it's very annoying.

Admirable and Tannon Grace, who is apparently a very well regard MTG player, are loltastic together. They mix the players up and miss the reasoning for fairly basic plays. They harped on Ostkaka for his entire series vs Sjow in the HPL this week because he chose not to armor up on turn 4 playing Grim Patron when he had double battle rage in hand, and they asked Dog twice about deck choices that he made that were actually made by his opponent.

I agree wrt Chakki. He seems to have matured a lot in the last year and is a great caster.

goes to show how much variance there is in hearthstone, reynad is a few levels below lifecoach and other top players but since you're almost never more than 60% to win a bo 5, unless the other player is completely braindead, anything can happen. it's funny to see pro players like gaara just make one misplay after another every ****ing time I play him but since he luckboxed his way to a dreamhack win people think he's good, when it's just like jamie gold winning the main event.

agree with chakki being a good caster, not very surprising though, he's a strong player

If Reynad didn't say stupid **** constantly he would probably get a lot less heat. People think he's trolling or being sarcastic but most of the time he's 100% serious.

yeah he def has some ego issues going on

It's not even variance when Lifecoach gets huntarded both times lol.

shortly tune into dreamhack, see gaara is up next. only took him two turns to mess up again and coin muster without a follow up as a paladin when he has a truesilver in hand vs a warrior, lol.

I can only think of a couple situations where coin muster would be good against warrior even with a follow up.

hawkeye, tiddler, niko, chakki, wonder, dog in knockout rounds so far

obv rooting for FrankerZ

amaz and purpledrank play for one of the last two spots

so for the last day of dreamhack they decide to go with a casting crew of gnimsh/gaara/thijs. lol.

thijs is a good player and its not their fault that english isnt their first language, but man its hard to listen to

amaz getting lucky, who would've thought.

dog had a crazy potential patron lethal vs chakki. obv twitch chat said it was, but no one was actually able to count it. i'll get a screenshot but it would have required double frothings, patrons, and other stuff from a thaurissen hand to deal 38 damage

How was that first one lethal? Maybe I'm missing something but didn't the fireballs cost 9 mana so he couldn't ping?

there was one fatigue damage
