There was a Hearthstone's instagram post where they said you get 4 - glory, 3-Jarla, 2-SliverName and the other, 1 the rest.

Blizzard's announcement blog is a bit weird ("one additional card pack each time your champion advances—to the quarterfinals, semifinals, or finals"; I don't think the system had clear quarterfinals, it probably means the winners' and decider matches then?) but you should get four packs regardless since Jarla was the other finalist.

Thanks

I see what you did there.  "Swallowing"  O_o

Nowadays is harder to reach rank20 than being spoiled early at the morning with sports and esports winners on internet.

You'll for sure know about it before watching the stream, it doesn't matter too much from where you read it :(

I hope you can redo the exp table once you guys finished datamined the upcoming patch.

Pretty please.. (Still gonna ask you to teach us data mining.)

Tech in a Platebreaker or two.

how many wins he did?

Question - I picked Jarla as my champion, how many packs will I get?

Good luck to all the finalists! I really don’t get Everlast though, how is it any good balance-wise? You forfeit access to any other weapon for 1 Attack each turn, and your weapon buffs last only 1 attack unless they also buff Durability 

They are not resetting the Internal mmr(this would cause a huge chaos). I guess they reset your rating so you have something to work towards, because most players probably reached their own goal by now.

Because Skipper + Amorsmith is op.

*Looks at the downvotes* Oh it seems like a lot of Control players are here... Sorry for my heresy, I meant to say: "aggro bad! aggro op! nerf aggro! buff control! control good! control smart!"

Ok, question regarding Amalgams: does Whatley search first for minions that are just one type, then look for amalgams? Or does he just grab one of each, meaning you could draw fewer cards if, say for example, you only have one pirate in your deck and he draws an amalgam instead?

Same question for N'Zoth, God of the Deep.

I do believe that for all interactions in this game regarding those situations, it targets non amalgams first, than amalgams

Noxus + P and Z

Broadback, spring, stellacorn, spell thief, sunforger, hush

Noxus + SI

Sunforger, zenith, spell thief, spring, stellacorn, broadback, hush

Noxus Targon

Sketcher, Sunforger, broadback, spring, stellacorn, hush

Noxus Demacia

Sketcher, Sunforger, broadback, hush, spring, stellacorn, astral

Noxus Blige

Sketcher, Spring, astral, sunforger, stellacorn, priestess

Noxus Ionia

Sketcher, Spell thief, priestess, broadback, sunforger, hush, zenith

Noxus Freljord

Sketcher, Spell thief, priestess, sunforger, hush, astral

I think they removed packs from the later levels of the rewards track (after level 27 maybe). They should just be rewarding (more) gold than before now. There was a lot of negative feedback from the player base regarding packs at those levels.

This looks like a really solid theorycraft here. I might give this a try when the expac drops.

Congrats to the World Champion! I like the other guy's glory hole idea. Blizzard, work on it!

Same here. I am currently watching the vod from a few hours ago (the broadcast was in the middle of the night for me), and thought it was safe to visit here (others news from recent memory are spoiler free), then surprised to see the winner top and center. I lost motivation to watch vod lol.

Maybe a header like:

Hearthstone's New World Champion Would Love a Demon Hunter Tribute Card

or

Hearthstone's New World Champion Would Love a Tribute Card from a Specific Class

and instead of the pic of the winner, maybe a pic of the trophy?

But why not just the internal MMR, then?

Was busy this weekend and couldn't watch the world championship live (first time since firebat's). You always put spoiler sections for all esports stuff so I felt pretty safe to check out the news.

Thanks for the spoiler :(

True, but generally when people talk about nerfs they talk about oppressive cards getting nerfed.  While it's obviously better to have balance patches that nerf overused/overpowered cards and buff underused/underpowered cards, a strict viewpoint that "nerfing everything is bad" is short sighted.  Sometimes the only tool available given a specific situation is to nerf cards. 

Since I'm weighing in here on this subject, on a personal note I'd like to see Blizzard do balance adjustments every 2 weeks for the first month of an expansion, and then after the first month, monthly balance adjustments.  The hands off attitude has to go away.  The mentality that "the meta will fix itself" has proven that it doesn't really work.  And will continue to be harder and harder to naturally find equilibrium the more cards and classes they plan to add to hearthstone (adding more cards mid-season, and more classes in upcoming years will only exacerbate meta problems)
