Heyo...Just wanted the #hearthstone community to hear it from me first. Wild will not be part of Theorycrafting this year. But...please watch the Year of the Wolf video here: https://t.co/uv2UkVEmrG We DO have cool things coming for that mode. (1/+)

Couple of things. It's important that players have a great experience. With Wild in TC we simply didn't have enough players to split the queue for different time zones. This meant players in all regions couldn't have a proper time slot, all had to play in the same timeslot (2/+)

This meant we were'nt "thinking globally" (even though that was our initial intention) and we weren't "playing fair" and these are things that matter. Some regions were playing in the wee hours of the morning (3am yikes!) and that is not a great player or viewer experience. (3/+)

Less players meant increased queue times and seeing the same players more often which led to less variation in matches. Even if we added more players it wouldn't have been enough for a fix. (4/+)

@alkali_layke This is sad to see, those were the only ones I watched 😢 Is it possible to let the wild folks participate in the standard version of TC since player numbers was a part of this issue?

@ZombiesGoNomNom Some will be invited yes, but unfortunately not all. We will be prioritizing creator program members first, then we'll look at spaces open
