BlizzCon 2015 - Hearthstone World Championship
posted
2015/11/07 at 4:00 PM
by
Skiffington
The 2015 Hearthstone World Championships are coming to a conclusion and a new World Champion will be crowned today! The finals were set to start at 2:00 PM PST but with how close the two series have been today, we're a good bit behind schedule. While you wait, here's our recap of the action at BlizzCon thus far!
Quarterfinals
Thijs vs. Kranich
Thijs continued his hot streak, properly picking his decks as he and Kranich traded match after match. The only player in this year’s Championship that also competed at BlizzCon last year, Kranich went down as his Midrange Hunter failed to find its footing. This was particularly surprising because Thijs was quick to express his intense desire to avoid playing his Patron Warrior into a Midrange Hunter.
Ostkaka vs. Pinpingho
Pinpingho, the Shaman himself from Taiwan couldn’t find a win with his Midrange Druid in the first two matches and as a result found himself behind from the start. Luckily his Hybrid Hunter was quick enough to beat Ostkaka’s Oil Rogue, but the same couldn’t be said for his staple Shaman deck.
DieMeng vs. Kno
The only other Shaman player in the tournament, China’s DieMeng, found himself hamstrung by the Midrange decks of Kno. Though he did manage to win the Secret Paladin vs. Midrange Paladin matchup, he struggled to find wins with his Face Hunter deck that just couldn’t get going thanks to Kno’s board clears and control.
Zoro vs. Hotform
The days matches concluded with North America’s lone remaining hope, Hotform, taking on Zoro. The former took a quick win as Zoro’s Secret Paladin struggled to find the right draws. However, Zoro rebounded with two great matches that just barely remained in his favor throughout, leaving Hotform with little choice but to trade board control for face damage. Much like our other Chinese player, Zoro just couldn’t close out a win with his Face Hunter.

The panel will be starting shortly.
10:00
Should be starting any time now.
10:06
Mike Donais, Senior Game Designer takes the stage.
10:07
First design goal of Tavern Brawls was to be weekly, to give players more content to chew through between expansions/adventures.
10:10
Next goal was variety, to try new things and improve them over time.
10:11
Donais is now breaking down the three different types of Brawls: build your own deck, pick a class, and prebuilt.
10:12
Most of this information has been talked about before, players that like to innovate like to build decks, pick a class is very replayable since it's random, and premade decks give you access to cards you may not own.
10:15
Co-op Tavern Brawl now being talked about. It didn't make sense for Blizzard to completely rearrange the UI and players to have them both on one side of the field.
