>gets beat edition
top 100 for our guy jasonzhuo
>>158568748
You've jinxed him dude
>/vg/ supporting reddit's guy
every time
Thijs looks like a loss to me
>>158568865
You have your own general. Use it.
>>158568865
but, i am
>>158568748
its just one loss right boys?
>>158568865
shit ain't out yet, homie
>>158568865
Now fuck back off to /svg/
I'll see you there soon.
>>158568689
It's still fucking insane value for one card
Come on thijs!!!!
>baited into investing minutes of my life to explain anon's idiocy on 4chan
>board clear
I really need to stop walking into that.
>>158569023
Mostly because taunt and board clears are underpowered
>>158568921
why would I shill a game to people who already play it?
>130k across all the different language streams
when did HS unironically end up having the strongest scene of all blizzard games
>>158569059
As one of those Sludge Belcher anons from the last thread, I too know how painful wasted Internet arguments can be.
Tell me /hsg/, who is YOUR GUY for this year's Blizzcon?
http://www.strawpoll.me/11517238
>>158569225
I wasn't stupid. I voted for autism.
is it a pack whenever they win or a pack when they advance to the next round?
>>158569170
It's so simple that anyone can tune in and understand it
>>158569225
>5 people already admitting to voting for Thijs and not the child prodigy Amnesiac
>Dropping maly now
The fuck is Thijs doing ?
>if blizzard hits the doomswitch on thijs, they won't have to pay out millions of packs per win
gg what a stupid fucking time to drop malygos
THIJS NO WATER YOU FUCKING DOING
>>158569510
Throwing the game
>>158569387
When a series of Hearthstone games is completed between two players and a winner is declared, then and only then is that considered a "win", and a free pack for those who voted for the winner of the series.
Fucking Thijs, why you do this!!!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFQK5eF_puo
>>158569225
Thijs, because he's the only guy I recognise among this sea of gooks.
what the fuck are you doing
Having your players vote on the tourney really was a pretty good idea on Blizzard's part. Now we feel an investment in our champion and are bothering to watch what otherwise would have just been another pissant tournament.
Also, free packs.
>>158569517
nvm he fucked himself without their help
Welp gg guess Blizzard wants to keep those TGT packs all to themselves
REDDITORS ON SUICIDE WATCH
YOU FOOL WHY DID YOU DROP IT THEN
FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
THIJS
>>158569387
A pack for every match, so they have to win 4 games to get one.
>>158569778
you fucking idiot why didn't you vote for someone good like Cydonia or Amnesiac?
Is this throw intentional?
>yfw you voted for Thizzz
Is there any site that calculates amount of needed dust for GOLDEN deck. I wanna craft golden secret paladin for rage collecting.
Fuck you Thijs, you threw the game.
MOST
DANGEROUS
LEAD
>>158569831
Thijs get tilted rather quickly so not necessarily. I still dunno why the fuck you would play like this in the blizzcon finals.
>>158569170
its fun and simple to understand
wow is way too intricate on knowledge (the game itself is simple enough, but you HAVE to have a ton of experience and know skills to understand anything)
overwatch is literally impossible to spectate
hots is garbage
Repostan from last thread (missed new):
>>158567504
I'd call the druid very strongly favored against more reactive lists (like fatigue yogg) and slightly favored against the more proactive lists.
Grom is huge, without him CW will suffer
If the warrior can't apply any pressure on their end, the druid can just sit there and play solitaire.
Especially with fandral, who just straight-up breaks the game. With him + decent idols druid can easily soften up the armor with giants/rag/discd minions/etc then slam 40 into face.
But druid's weakness here is the lack of dedicated board control, against enough pressure they're screwed
Without iceblock/nova/etc they're forced to use burn on minions and then warrior can armor out of range
>>158568278
>How is thighs supposed to deal 50 damage?
Fandral
>>158568689
It's a good card, the problem is that good cards at 9 mana are not playable since 9 is too close to 10.
You're going to look and feel like a shmuck when you cast
>9 mana summon a leokk, misha, and huffer
And then your opponent casts
>10 mana summon a tirion, sylv, cairne, chillmaw, tauren, and hoarder
>10 mana summon gigantic charging murlocs that make huffer look like a stonetusk boar
>10 mana do 32+ damage directly to the opponent's face
>10 mana clear the board, draw 5 cards, cast 4 different secrets from different classes, heal for 5, 10 damage to face
>>158569859
why didnt i do my fucking research fuck
>voted for Thijs
>another pro specifically complimenting drhippi
How am I the only person who voted for him this strawpoll?
Honestly I dont blame HS casters.
It cant be easy trying to analyse the game in real-time while having to keep talking / keep track of / respond to the other idiot talking too.
Its of course simpler to understand the plays in hindsight, but probably not many would see it that way.
At the end of last thread, everyone was praising Thijs and celebrating their free packs, suddenly everyone is flipping their shit and calling it quits. What happened? Did he lose? Is he last place suddenly?
>>158570048
dude he looks gay as fuck
Someone post the voting results, how many voted for Thijs?
>>158570107
He won the first two games, and then lost the next two
>>158569023
>>158569093
Oh fuck off. It's nerfed to the ground already. If you played hunter you should know that turn 8 is almost always the critical deciding turn since after that you'll be most likely only left with 1-2 useless cards on your hand.
Cotw nerf hits really hard now that midrange is not preferable since their finisher is already deemed too slow and most hunters runs either aggro or early game tempo control with secrets that's really reliant on good early draws.
>>158570048
We are not alone
THERE ARE DOZENS OF USI just chose rares flag
>>158569170
When Thijs gets knocked out they'll be down to ~20k as usual.

>>158570107
His druid isn't properly build, and is losing really hard.

That's the subtle mastery of Activision-Blizzard, friend. The number one video game company in the entire galaxy.

Voting for Thijs is win-win.

Yay

Yeah, but imagine how salty Reynad must be
>tfw smugly counting up your damage
That family obligation really must have zonked him.
I unpacked Chogall. What do?
>>158570493
400 dust
Hey guys, how's that thisj pick going fr you?
>>158570493
Hold onto him. He may see play in a slower Lock deck that makes way after the upcoming expansion.
If that doesn't happen, dust 'im.
>>158570456
>Yeah, but imagine how salty Reynad must be
what the fuck are you talking about
When's our guy Dr Pavel playing
>you will never comfort tiny, slender virgin thijs after this loss

>later find out that all of reddit chose him
>tfw the jewish overlords have made him lose so they don't have to give free packs
>>158570443
I voted for him on my smurf, so nothing of value was lost
>5 turn win
I know Zoo is strong but damn.
>TFW Picked Pavel
>>158570531
I'm just happy I picked BBGunGun
I don't get why Blizzard is fixing this so hard. It's just TGT packs. If he really doesn't win I'm not going to preorder the next expansion.
>>158570617
>fixing this
You can't be serious
>>158570579
>>158570493
If wild ever becomes a thing, I think he's one of the cards that has the most potential in that format.
But like >>158570549 wrote he might even see play next expansion.
>>158570249
Anyone else voted for le epic man of free packs and babbling books?
>>158570429
It has the same problem as most other decks, which is the shaman country, but otherwise it's really good.
I prefer it to malygos when laddering because you actually have multiple strong win conditions .
>>158570701
I thought Shamans were over now that Secret Hunter came back.
Why can't this fucking retard stop playing maly druid??? it's obviously fucking bad
>>158570741
shaman is not weak to secret hunter. he has the tools to deal with it (mostly the 2 mana boardclear and 0 mana 5/5 tools)
>>158570856
he is not allowed to switch
>nobody played perfectly the whole tournament
Thats really unfair to the players. Especially when you dont understand their plays and expect that theyve made a mistake.
>double sap
nice list
>voting for gweilo

I think Thijs might be able to do this. Rogue hand is meh and he has tons of ramp.

>>158571238
You were saying?
Thijs probably wins at this point. Rogue is solidly unfavored against Hunter
Good thing Thijs got a basically unloseable match for his shitty druid deck
>Thijs winning even though Blizzard is rigging the draws
How does he do it

LOL, THERE GOES EVERYONE'S PACKS
fucking tajs man losing me packs
>wasting 2 secrets
Holy shit wat
>>158570178
Hunter should get some kind of consistent healing. We have all the necessary tools to build a heavyweight old-school midrange deck that can really shift the meta, but reno is just crap without card draw and hunter is totally incapable of managing early (or midgame, or lategame) aggression.
Kinda funny to compare to its shaman counterpart.
Mid/control hunter has godly power plays, value for miles, and great depth at every point in the game.
But it can't control the opponent's offense whatsoever, can't stabilize, can't heal, and just loses by default to any aggro deck.
Mid/control shaman on the other hand can heal like a priest, clear like a paladin, remove like a warrior, and stabilize like a druid. It can make any aggro deck its bitch. Even has quite decent combo potential in basic to boot.
But unlike the hunter it has exactly jack and shit to do without its critical Naxx/GvG cards that are now rotated out. Near zero proactive power plays and nothing in the way of a win condition beyond nzoth with weak synergy and maly or leeroy with weak cycle.
Both are maddeningly close to viable and just need a little bit of love to see play.

>>158571913
The decklists were released pre-tournament. Since everyone has their decks locked-in, they can't change anything
>>158571913
Yeah, all decks have been posted here beforehand:

Odds of drawing into lethal vs. odds his opponent had sap. He made the right call there, it was the early freezing trap that was fucking stupid.
i didn't want those packs anyways
>he voted for Thijs over Bbgungun

Those draws were so obviously rigged, this is such bullshit

Next time Thijs bungee jumps, he's going sans bungee.

>On curve Yusticar

How did your Thijs vote work out /hsg/?
Wow. They literally lost 30k viewers because ThijsNL lost.
>>158573324
They're not good enough
E-celebs are cancer regardless
>>158573336
Rip Reddit
>>158573324
Because the fags you mentioned weren't good enough to make it to the tournament
>>158573324
Because the game is a RNGfest.
Just FYI, this tourney is not using a simple elimination format.
Pic related.
Thijs can still be one of the 2 to advance from his group.
Which means he can still win the rest of his matches, earn you fanboys a dozen packs, and even win the entire goddamn tournament.
>>158573336
Why would anyone stick around to watch soulless, robotic asians play an rng childrens card game casted by the worth bunch of idiots around?

>Why aren't there more popular players at this tournament? This would be worth watching if guys like Trump, Kripp, etc., were here and not just Thijs and 15 gooks
Because Blizzard is still pretending that their coinflip simulator is a super serious e-sport too.

Oh man. I so want this guy to win right now.
for reference, no shaman in this tournament hasn't either (a) been banned or (b) won a game
not to imply that it's undefeated, but it's the only class that hasn't been a player's "weak link" - even other "strong" decks like druid or warrior have failed to secure a win in players' lineups

>I made a conscious decision to back the man with this deck
>>158578683
Yes. Golden Krush is definitely classier.
Leeroy is marginally better for your purposes, especially now that Knife Gigolo is passe; but 9/10 games there wouldnt be any difference between the two anyway.
If you have less fun than your opponent playing the same game, you lose IRL so I say go for Krush and up your win-satisfaction rate.

the HS competitive scene is under serious strain. Many sponsors have withdrawn and teams have dissolved.

Right now they're relying on riding the world tourney wave through blizzcon into the next expansion, hoping a good reception will reset expectations and right this ship.

Practically every MP game is rock-paper-scissors. Control warrior beats Freeze mage and so on.
>>158582072
It's had good games, it's still the 2nd-best deck.
One problem is partly that people have been playing on the old lose-and-praise-yogg plan instead of the yoggless hardcore combo solitaire-to-win styles.
Also this >>158582181. Mid shaman heavily suppresses aggro on ladder and here it's banned in almost every matchup, so zoo and face hunter are free to wreck ass. They're preying on malydruid, which can't control the board until it gets up and running with a decent pool and continuous cycle.
Not to mention tempo mage, which as a burn-based aggro deck doesn't get suppressed by board-based mid anyway.

The strongest players end up getting knocked out early.
Well thats what you get when you believe in your own reputation.
If theres anything to take away here its not to underestimate your opponent simply because of your/his reputation.
Stay objective and calculate the odds evenly. This is where Naiman goofed, he played strategically, but many times he was too hopeful for the favorable outcome.
Thijs simply got overconfident from his first two games and ended up triggered and playing sloppily.
>Freezing/sniping that Swashburglar
Id reasonably expect that this isnt how he would have played in the comfort of his home.
As for Hamster, its just a pity about those draws/RNG. But its not all about that. A big factor that contributed to his bouts of useless hands is also undeniably the card choices for his deck.

Even if they won, somehow, Thijs was still sloppy and Naiman was still overconfident.
Isnt much to say about Hamster. I pointed out the bad card choices to anon days before the tournament began.

The only skill in poker exists in real life where you can give some tells away on purpose and then turn it around and just be a psychological motherfucker. Poker online requires no skill.
Think about it, a fucking bot can go and play 10 poker tables at the same time, same for HS. If I get a HS bot right now and leave it running, it will be legend tomorrow or so. Fuck I bet you could run a bot at blizzcon and it might end up winning the thing.

>Any proof to back up that load of bs?
Er, which part of it?
Problems on the pro tour are common knowledge.
Same with the twitch scene and top streamers.
as for their current strategy, that's the best "line of play". Tried and true, not much extra work, doesn't require making more changes and risking more bad PR (see various gaming/general news articles on the recent nerfs), etc.
Plus the timing is great. Tournaments are always good for business and they can just "curve up" perfectly into the expansion.
Unless they fuck up the tourney somehow or yogg decides every game, it'll work well.
We were talking about the promo art, now we're talking about the tourney, afterwards we'll talk about the teasers, and then we'll talk about the cards.
And THEN we'll go back to talking about the meta.
This is the yogg that yogg players deserve.

It's pretty good vs. control, especially fedora warrior.
It's not as bad vs. shaman and hunter as it used to be since they slowed down a little, but it's still bad.

Will remind you that it could always be worse.
>>158589090
Roping can potentially tilt opponents enough that they make suboptimal plays. Especially if it´s a big tournament and they´re nervous anyway.
I'm honestly thinking of coming back to Hearthstone just to play Chess. Should I? Saw that shit today and damn it was nice.

Who here /onepack/?
>>158591031
t-thanks you too
>>158590662
yea it is, you should only beat control warrior or priest but those matchups are favored for anyfin anyways
>>158589129
I see
I guess I'll just play a mostly-Aggro Paladin with 1x Faceless Manip and 1x Tirion for either double Tirion or double Leeroy on Turn 10 if it lasts too long

In a week after the tournament is over.
>hands0m4 guy vs thijs tomorrow
will you be watching when thijs is eliminated from bilzzcon and hsg gets 1 pack only tomorrow?
Not a bad pack. I actually wanted Deathwing but was too jewish to craft him since he's a fringe use card.
>>158591561
Oh. thanks buddy<3
>Pavel is getting 3-0'd
Fuck
>based Pavel interview
Suddenly his RNG improves
>>158591618
>deathwing is fringe

>>158590281
He missplayed so much. Even JJ and Lifecoach were calling out his retarded plays
>>158591618
Love Deathwing m8. There is no greater feeling than slapping that fat bastard down.
>>158591031
maybe i'll find myself there during some season.. a man can dream:(
i kinda dreamt id manage to luck myself into rank 5 but i don't think i have the potential and i'm not really interested in the grind due to studies and all that shit. but guess i'll play a few matches here and there slaying priests as another priest
based fucking axeflinger
Waaaaay too much legendary shit in that deck of his
Looks like Golden Malyg will be my next craft.
Cant wait for the expac to just hit already.
Im ready to give them my shekels.
>>158591979
If you want to climb pretty fast i´d recommend regular or discard zoo. So far i never had problems getting good winstreaks with it around rank 5+.
Muh patrician deck! How did you beat me?!
>>158591226
most spectacular finisher is stealthed thing > buffs > blessed champion
>>158590662
Yep, it's a pure hardcore anti-control deck
Paladin and priest are the best classes for that

http://www.strawpoll.me/11519436/
>>158591979
just play midrange, people aren't memeing when they say shaman is strong and with the next expansion soon the game probably wont have a deck you can pilot to 5 or legend as easy as shaman
I can't believe I picked this guy only because I remember him winning a tournamentFeels pretty good, man
>>158592237
malyrogue is above cw on the patrician list
>>158591542
It's better than soul crushing loneliness, don't you think?
>>158591589
I will be laughing at you all, yes. >>158592413
That's mah boi.
>>158592225
I think I actually got some kind of brain damage because I seriously can't play zoo or discard decks, I feel I have better winrate as a priest. I know they're really powerful but I just can't wield that power. I win every now and then by the skin of my teeth, but most of the times I just lose in a way which feels so unfair compared to losing with any other decks. Maybe it's just the "discard" aspect but it's really frustrating to keep discarding the cards I need the most.
>>158592459
>damaged from hand
>patrician
Pick one aggro shitter. True patricians only drag removal to the opponent's minions whilst tanking up
>>158592813
Cards are just meant to get you to lethal your opponent. If it gives you tempo discarding some doesn´t matter and you have lots of ways to draw more as discard lock anyway.
>>158592813
>can't play zoo
You just shit out your hand and hit face mate, what's the problem?
>>158592370
I'm not exactly enjoying playing as midrange shaman even when it's powerful, I actually enjoyed it more when shaman was in the trash before the newest expansions. But I guess I need to ignore that feeling like I'm constantly sinning and just concentrate on playing midrange.
>>158593004
Maybe I just have the wrong mindset about the cards then, sometimes I avoid playing those discard cards because I'm afraid of losing better cards. And that leads to me losing the game probably
>>158593125
I guess I'm hitting face when I should trade and vice versa
Finally a skill-based matchup
>>158592813
I think zoo has gotten a bit worse overall. Try secret Hunter, I went from rank 13 to 5 in two nights. I'm trying freeze mage now, it's fun and feels fulfilling when you win. Very good vs all shamans but sucks dick against warriors.
>>158593340
I haven't lost against a freeze mage since I pur Rag in my Shaman deck. Can't freeze that fire yo.
>>158593125
>hitting face
Zoo is a control deck. You trade most of the time for board control.AyanoxTomato best pairing
>>158593456
>Zoo is a control deck
Don't agree desu. I do well enough hitting face and finishing with Leeroy.
>>158592356
One thing I will say is that during the Pre-Standard tournament here in /hsg/ the number one class represented was Priest.
>>158593340
secret hunter seems really fun and powerful at the same time, I mostly used it to ride the winstreak to 10. Now I've lost a few times but I'd say it's more because of bad luck (eg. not drawing any secrets at all) instead of bad decisions even when I have some serious room to improve
>>158593446
Yeah Rag is a dick and it's in most decks unfortunately, however I usually dont see it in shamans. Probably because the players are too braindead to change cards on their own.
>getting this carried by rng
That fucking brawl. USA MIRACLEProbably not.
>>158593665
>/hsg/ tournament
Is this a thing? I'm new here, would be fun to participate in a tournament.
so basically new mechanic confirmed looks like an overload effect that costs health. 4 mana 7/7 deal, 2 damage to face for every turn on the board?
>>158593883
there hasn't been one in months
>tfw blizz will never put in a mode for easy custom tournaments
>>158594028
We could try to get that guy who hosted that one to do it again. Axolotl Andy or something.
>>158593984
please no
Is there somewhere I can see the bracket for the tourney? Twitch won't work for me and I want to know how my boy is doing.
>blizz rigging rng this hard in favor of meowth
I want to root for him because I'm Burger, but he's just too much of a school shooter for me to take seriously.
>doesn't play c'thun for lethal
Is this the mysterious russian soul?

>>158594564
Would have been absolutely hilarious if he hit lethal with that cthun

Have we had that lad with the Priest deck yet?
>>158594552
Pavel is too cute not to root for, I'm an American as well so there is some institutionally ingrained part of me hoping Meowth does well, but Pavel's demeanor makes me want him to take this series.
>>158594947
yeah
his priest lost to everything
